Hello Little One, In November of last year, we suffered a loss in our family. Your Great-Aunt Louise passed away, aged 95. She was your Bestefar’s oldest sister, the matriarcal figure of the Gjertsen Family at the time, and meant a lot to both your Mom and me. She met you on three different occasions, […]

In early 2016, we found out my wife Heather was pregnant with our daughter. It was a crazy time, both daunting and exhilarating.
