Happy 100th Great Grandpa!

It was a rainy Saturday.  The kids took advantage of the warm weather and rain to jump on the trampoline in their swimsuits.

Check out that jump by Katie! 
Grace wasn't interested in bouncing, but she was totally into the swimsuit idea.
Today in Omaha, Nebraska was the celebration of Dave's Grandpa Quest's 100th birthday.  The kids were excited all week about Skyping with Great Grandpa at the party.

Katie helped me make a Norwegian cream cake for Great Grandpa.  (The last time I had one of these, it was made by the mom of my favorite Norwegian family, Tordis Hammer, in celebration of my Ph.D. - that one had alcohol to soak the layers though, not apple juice.  :)) 
Grace and Isaac enjoying the rain. 
At 9pm, we skyped Great Grandpa at his party.  He was so moved, he was crying.  Grace was our best skyper, not shy, and full of greetings for everyone.  She and Isaac had practiced their "Happy Birthday" singing all day.

  1. Oh my goodness! Mum will be so proud! Can't wait to tell her what's going on in Trondheim. I already informed dad that you made fish soup and he beamed.
