Dirty 30!

Dear Elzora,

Mom hasn't blogged so much lately but don't worry, I will get back on the blog bus soon. But I just can't hold off any longer on writing about one event that happened last month that was very, very important. Our bestest Papa turned 30!

When our friend Amanda turned 30 she kept referring to it as her "dirty thirty" and even got a cool cherry tattoo to commemorate the event. We hope papa can get some more tattoos soon. We know how much he loves them.

Happy Birthday, Papa Andreas.
We love you!
Happy Party!!

Love,
Mommy

PS Hopefully we will see Amanda and her mask-making man one day soon.

Foxy Lady!

Dear Elzora,

This morning we were running late for a 10am fika date when you told me to look outside. I thought it was just another deer or a cat at the bird feeder. When I looked my first thought was "Wow, that's a big cat!" But of course it was a beautiful fox. Papa said he saw a hare this morning coming down from the forest when he went to work. The animals are really having a hard time finding food when it is so cold out and there is so much snow. It's hard to watch, but spring will be here before we know it. Good luck little animals!

Love,
Mommy
