To Erlend & Simen’s Mom's...the boys have arrived safely!

Dear Lerhol Family and Friends,
The boys arrived from Norway this afternoon! Scott picked them up from the airport, since Sondre was still in school and brought them back to Minnetonka.  They boys were very excited to see each other; the first time in nearly 7 months.  They have been speaking in Norwegian, but even though I cannot understand them, I do know that there are a lot of happy conversations going on between them.  Tonight for dinner they had hamburgers and are downstairs playing pool, just like American teenagers. 
Sondre is very anxious to show them around Minnesota and they have a lot of plans including a Minnesota Wild Hockey game, Timberwolves game and the Mall of America. 
We are very happy to have them here and we look forward to getting to know them better.  They are polite and handsome young men.  J


Sondre is an Uncle:
Maxwell August Dirks arrived on Saturday.  He weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces.  He was 21.5 inches long.  Just as cute as can be too.  Courtney, Ryan and Amelia are very happy to welcome him to their family.

More blogs to come chronicling the three Norwegian’s Spring Break in Minnesota!

Lots of Love,
Alix and Scott

  1. First and foremost: Congratulation with your new grandson! He looks healthy and pretty. Hopefully he will be visiting Norway some time!
    We are happy for the boys that they got to meet after all these months and with an ocean between...
    Look as usual very much forward to follow the blog. Both photoes and text are very informative. Take care, you all.
