Come to think of it, we really have nothing in common with the “very L.A.” Kardashians… I just liked the TV show title enough to steal it for our blog.
Although we reside in Middle America, here’s a shot of Joe and I on the Big Island of Hawaii. This was taken before we hiked the massive Kilauea Caldera Trail, located in Volcano National Park.
I started this blog to stay in touch with family members and good friends, near and far, and keep them updated on the Christensens of Minneapolis-St. Paul. Our family’s roster expanded in early 2009 when our daughter, Noe Vivienne, arrived on the scene. Noe (rhymes with Zoe) is spelled with an umlaut above the “e” – but the wordpress posting tool freaks out when I try to add it to body copy… Here’s info on the story behind Noe’s name.
We’ll do our best to try and keep y’all updated on the latest and greatest “eruptions” in our lives (a.k.a. the wild ride that is parenthhood).
Thanks for visiting! Keep in touch.

Hi Julie!
I am so sorry we missed you when you were in SF! You must have walked right past us as we sat in Dolores Park! Congrat’s on Baby C! How exciting- we are really happy for you guys. We can’t wait to see pictures once baby arrives. Give Joe our best. Lars says hi! xoxo Jen
Hey hottie!
You are so adorable. You look fabulous. Very lucky to have such a great pregnancy, well besides getting sick! I’m glad to hear things are going great. I still need to get you something. Are you registered anywhere or can I just spoil you by something adorably cute from BabyGap! I swear I live there. I hope all is well.
Talk to you soon!

Who knew there was this giant blog spot for you out there? Am I in the dark or what! Thanks for sharing and what a pretty sight you have! Are you registered anywhere? Is there anything you’re dying to get for yourself? I’m glad you’re taking time to notice the little things along the way and enjoying the slow approach of your first child! All the best and much much love!

Hey Julie, I just got the scoop on the latest with your Bundle of Noe. Great photos, she has the best smile in the world! Your blog is great. I guess the creative writing and commentary runs in the family. Who’s the columnist?
