I'll be lucky...
...if my children are even half this adorable.
I look at this picture and think, is it really possible that this child is that precious. After about 15 minutes of gushing and baby-talk last night, Daniel suggested I might consider looking at these pictures a little less. He thinks I'll start to want one right now if I look at them too much...but he's too late.
If I could have a Henrik...
Do you think I might be biased? Because I'm not. I just think he is undeniably the best, most beautiful baby in the world.
I may need to visit Houston soon.
Aren't you excited it's FRIDAY?!?!
I sure am. I'm going to SLEEP IN tomorrow and I'm going to love it. Tonight Daniel and I are going on a double date with another couple to Alamo Drafthouse to see Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist.
Some exciting news:
For a few days now Daniel, me, Josh, Amy, and Shane have been researching the costs of backpacking in Europe for a little over two weeks next May. So far the plan is: Germany, France, Italy, Austria (really Slovakia), and back to Germany. We'll spend anywhere from 2-5 days in a particular country. And we're planning on really roughing it! Backpacks, one pair of underwear, no shoes, etc.
I've looked into purchasing a "Global" Eurail pass that would give us unlimited travel on the Eurail for 15 days to 20 different countries, and it's pretty cost effective. Plus, Germany, France, Italy and Austria all border each other at some point...I think. It's like a big circle with Switzerland in the middle. We're also looking into finding places to stay--like churches and with relatives and what not, to save money.
But basically, we have to start saving now and we have to start saving a lot.
Isn't it exciting?!?!?!
Mom, Dad, I hope you're home next May!
So, uh...for Christmas and birthdays we'll be asking for contributions to the Karen and Daniel's Excellent European Adventure fund. :)

Just stare at this picture for a minute and see if you can't help either smiling, laughing, crying, saying "oogoogoo," or all of the above.

Henrik
On another note, my faithful readers, I'm sorry I have been so awful about blogging lately. This week has been one for the record books for me. I'll do better eventually!!!SO glad it's Friday.

Good Tidings of Great Joy. *Edited. For Posterity.*
Guess what?
I'm an aunt!
Leave it to me to make this about myself...
What I'm trying to say is, my oldest brother Nicholas and his lovely wife Somaria have given birth to their first child, the first grandchild, *the first great-grandchild*, the heir to the Lundgaard fortune!!!
Well. I don't know about all that, but he is the first. And he's tiny. And he's just so gorgeous. I would post a picture of him, but alas, I'm at work and we just don't do that around here. Pictures are frowned upon here. And I just can't get onto Flickr or save any pictures.
There's a lovely picture of the little guy on my parents' blog (http://www.the-lundgaards.com/). You're welcome to visit there and fawn and ooh and aww and say, oh Karen's so lucky, she has the cutest nephew of all time, he's cute 'cuz he looks like her. A little?
So yeah, go there and get to know Henrik. Did I mention his name was Henrik? Henrik Aage?
Doesn't it sound like his name should end with "the fourth" or something? That's quite a name. I'm considering calling him Harry. Or maybe Rik.
Just Kidding.
And, don't get mad, I've accidentally been spelling his name H-e-n-r-i-c-k.
Oops.
Anyway, here's the deets:
b. 10 June 2008 4:45 PM
l. 20 in.
w. 7 lbs., 4oz.
Guys. Guys, he's not even a day old as I write this! His youth is astounding!
And he's not even 2 feet tall! (I guess we should call it length since all he's going to do for the next several weeks is lie on his back or stomach and throw up) He's so short!
And he weighs, like, as much as Fletcher! So trim and fit!
If he takes after his father as a baby, that whole trim and fit thing might be short lived. But there's no better time to be fat than infancy! At least, that's what I've heard.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling about the poor kid. Rejoice with us! The Lord is good.
Nicholas and Somaria have a jumpstart on that whole quiver-full of arrows thing.
Meanwhile my husband has left me.
But only for four days. He's either taking a trip to Vegas to party all day and night with some of his buddies or he's on a business trip to Houston for the Republican Convention...I can't remember...
Luckily I've got my hands full with party planning for my future sister-in-law, Janean. Who used to be nicknamed Neaner Beaner, just so you know. The Girls and me are gettin together and planning a real fun pow-wow, no-boys-allowed, undergarment party.
We're even making a special drink in her honor called the Janeanarita. Get it?!?!
Everything else is TOP SECRET, being kept under lock and key in the basement of the now burned down Governor's Mansion. So don't even ask.
P.S. I'm still watching Mary Tyler Moore like nobody's business. In the last episode I watched, Rhoda was so excited because she was dating a man who made $30,000 a year. Hahahaha. Isn't that, like, below the poverty line these days? That's crazy.
Her excitement didn't last long because she found out he was going back to college to become a Forest Ranger...and make $9,000 a year!
Times have changed! The dollar is almost worthless! Woo hoo!
