Got SISU?

Sisu is a Finnish term that could be roughly translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity.


I would hope, with their Finnish heritage, that all of my kids would exhibit sisu. This blog is for Cherise though. It is a photo tour of the past year because it time to celebrate her birthday again.

Happy 24th Birthday Cherise!!!!




"Are you ready for this?"

Cherise and Peanut Butter, her (our) cat

Cherise and some of the men in her life. Notice the soccer t-shirt? I think that is the same one she wore when she was playing soccer in 5th grade!
