A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for...

Aleah, born March 22nd to Michelle (Arvid's youngest daughter) and Emil in Norway.

This little girl has already captured all of our hearts.

She has even managed to made Chico, their doggie do exactly as she wants. Aleah it seems is the boss and Chico loves to watch over her. Arvid and I have not seen her as yet, but we see every picture posted on Facebook of her.

Looking forward to the day we will see her and able to hold her.

Today Michelle turns 20. She is the beautiful and proud mom of Aleah.

When you cut your Birthday cake this year, we want you to count your blessings and friends, not the gifts and phone calls you have received. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday dear Michelle.

Wishing you a day filled with love and cheer. May you be surrounded by all your loved ones.

May this year bring you prosperity, fortune and friendship.

Happy Birthday to you Michelle...

A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities....

Aleah...practicing your name so that we will get used to it when you arrive. Michelle and Emil have chosen this name for the little girl they will welcome in March 2013. Our little grand daughter will soon be here and we could not be happier.

Here she is and she's just perfect. I look at this and my heart fills with love for this tiny being I don't even know as yet. She is not here as yet, but she is already everyone's little Princess.

Arvid and I are soon to be proud grand parents. For now this is what we think of when we think of Norway....we picture little Aleah and I just hope she will love me like I already love her. i don't know Norwegian, but for her I will learn just so that I can say, "I love you Aleah."

Michelle and Emil are young, but we know they will make wonderful parents. Michelle has been taking care of babies ever since I can remember and she is full of patience, kindness and love.

Having only gotten to know Emil this summer, both Arvid and I think he is a wonderful young man. Together he and Michelle make a good couple. They are very practical, down to earth and most of all they are not envious of anyone.

The more Arvid and I are getting to know Emil the more we like him. Baby Aleah has a wonderful start because she already has wonderful, thoughtful and loving parents. She also will have lots of grandparents who will pamper her, cherish her and make sure she never lacks for anything.

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for....

Welcome little Princess Aleah
