This is our "No-No." She is the newest member of our family. She is also lovingly known as "the Duck." Fish likes to give all his girls a nickname of an animal, and she is a duck. She is off-the-charts on both weight and height. More of her to love. She turned 6 months old today. She gives big smiles first thing in the morning. So far, she may be our only dark-haired one.
Lili is our oldest. She is affectionately known as "the Bear" because she knew how to growl long before she knew how to talk. She is a people pleaser and easy-going girl. She started swimming lessons this year, and loved it. She has also tried T-ball and ballet, but she hasn't liked those as much. She attends preschool at Deerfield Elementary. She gets frustrated when Mom and Dad don't understand what she's saying, but we're getting better at understanding and she's getting better at talking. She loves to talk.
This is a picture of the whole family taken outside a little restaurant in Waimea, Hawaii (Big Island). We took the trip in June for two reasons: To immerse the whole family in their Hawaiian heritage (Kulani's side), and for Mom and Dad to compete in the Hawaii Half-Ironman. On the way home from our trip, the flight attendants served us Pineapple-Guava drink. My oldest said, "This tastes like Hawaii." Kulani's heart melted into pieces. It may become our yearly vacation spot. Next time we'd like to visit the places Kulani's dad grew up.So that's us. You'll be hearing more from us. We're noisy neighbors.

Yo Cindster-
This is Nate. We have a common aquantiance -- Carol Channing!
The blog looks great! What do you think it would take to get one up and running for the whole Christenson Family? How much does it cost?
Nate, these things are free! Just go to www.blogspot.com and find out more. Sometimes you get obnoxious "spam" posters, though. I think a Christenson one would be great, but I've got my fingers on too many pots right now to start one. Maybe we could Hetty to do it. And remember, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend."
This is my first post on a blog. (Why does the term "blog" remind me of ugly fat?") Cindy, this is great. I am going to have to bring Gpa C into the electronic age--a formidable task. I think we should have a grab boil at the next Christenson reunion--but only with Idaho spuds--the red kind. Dad might like you to throw a trout in the pot. What do you think?
Hey you all, remember I tried starting a family blog four years ago, Christenson Family Folklore? It petered out after a while.
Mary, Is your name Mary Squarey? Hee, hee. Sorry about the petered out blog, but start a new one with just your family or just you or whatever. This makes it easier for me to see what's going on in your life.
Cindy, seriously, do you want to read a blog about my life right now? -- maybe I will do a book and movie review one, with snippets about my life and my obsession with Dave Ramsey and personal finance?
Okay, I love the idea of a Dave Ramsey support blog with fellow family members. I guess we could also include a calorie counting blog. The blog where we count things in order to be skinnier and richer. How does that sound?
