We Have a New Family Member!

Today I heard from Henrik and learned that he has been working too many hours (my opinion). I think he should take a break and come back to the US and visit us. Henrik keeps asking me when I'm gong to go to Sweden to see him; I tell him after I graduate college and can afford it. I think it would be nice to see him and travel. I say travel now before you have kids because then it gets harder to do so. Unless they are already grown up themselves.

I'd like to take this time now to introduce you all to our newest family member, Alex.

While decorating the house this year for Christmas, I came across some that Henrik had given to us the year he sent with us. I told my mom how I missed listening to Kenny G's Faith cd while drinking hot chocolate by the fireplace. She agreed as we both started to stroll down memory lane and pull up those files of Henrik. Like the time we decorated his room with snow flakes and put sheets with a snow print on the bed for him after he told us that he was used to it snowing on his birthday. The food he used to cook for us and the breads he would bake. Going for walks with Blue and Marisa, and playing on the swings at the park near our house. Dancing in the street outside of La Casa Blanca in East Chicago. Jumping on the bed to wake the other one up in the morning. I miss that! Henrik was and always will be a brother to me. I can't wait until we get to see eachother again.
