Stolte Besteforeldre

This evening, when E brought today's mail in, tucked between one of the million Care First statements we've received lately and a piece of junk mail was a small envelope from E's parents in Norway. Inside was a really sweet note and three copies of the birth announcement they had placed in a regional newspaper in Norway.

Notice the old school typing on the side. E's dad, who is in his late 70s, is a die hard devotee of his mid-century typewriters. He is quite serious about his archiving, which is great for us. He noted the publication and date on the side of the clip.

This is one of my favorite pictures of EM; it was such a treat seeing the announcement! Confirmation that this isn't all just a really sweet dream...
