the rents.


today my darling parents arrive from norway! they are two of the most positive, energetic people you'll ever know. and they also love happy hour. this is why we get along so well.

this photograph was taken in 1974 right after they got married. i could stare at it all day. they look so happy, don't they?

    I Love it! I love seeing pics of friend's parents when they were in their 20's/30's... it's like you can see where the genes came from! =D
    I too, am a spitting image of my dad... I have a pic of him at 19 and if you cover his hair cut it's my face! So funny/amazing.

    Have an AMAZING visit with your parents! YAY!

    wow you really do look just like your dad! And I'm one of those people who always has a really hard time figuring out which parent someone looks like.

    It really is an adorable picture:) Enjoy your time with your parents!
