Goodbye 2010. When all is said and done, it was another beautiful year for our family. News stations globally recount their best ten stories of the year and so shall I; although I can’t put them in order of importance. So … in random order (drum roll please) Grandma Henke’s “Top Ten from Two [...]
It has been a warm, fuzzy day from morning until night; truly a day of peace and joy surrounded by the love of family and good friends. My son put me face to face (Iphone FaceTime) with family in Washington. It is surely a miracle we shouldn’t take for granted! The [...]

The Nordquists enjoy one last bit of fun on the Go Karts before heading home for the 4th of July celebration at Warren’s. The pictures are self explanatory. Luca barely qualified to go alone and I love how she is stretching her legs to reach the pedals. She did a pretty good job; only [...]

Look at those cute little blue shoes … Kai loves them and wears them everywhere he can. When I say he loves them, I mean he LOVES them. Last night we stayed at the beach and watched the sunset and then loaded up the kids to come home. When we got here we could only [...]
