Happy 2012!



New Year's Resolution for 2012:  Do a better job of keeping family and friends updated and since we're not a fan of Facebook (no offense), we thought we'd try a blog.

Truth be told, this blog is as much for our family than anything else.  We thought it would be fun to record our lives together with photos and journaling and what better time to begin than January 1st?

First Things First:  Why "The Nordicans"?

For a few years, our cousins, "The Oreos" (think Ebony and Ivory) and "The Blondies" (A family with VERY blonde hair) have been bugging us to come up with a family nickname, and finally after some thought, we came up with "The Nordicans" - with James' Nordic/Germanic heritage and Lori's Mexican/Spanish & Heinz 57 background,  ("Nordic..and Mexican" became Nordican).  Hence, "The Nordicans" was born!

So....please read and enjoy!
