Syttende Mai (May 17th) - Happy Constitution Day

Kirst-
I was telling Ashley today that everytime I check my email, I check out your blog. You look like you're having just a wonderful time. I'm loving this! Keep posting!!
P.S- Was it mandatory for your family to wear red? :) Have so much fun!

Oh, and I saw your doggy died. I am so sorry! I dread that day to come for our puppy...
