Happy Estonian Independence Day!
I used to be, like all you poor uneducated souls, unaware of this great holiday. My dear friend Kerlin kindly enlightened me with an email yesterday. (Kerlin, if you read this, I hope my Estonian grammar was ok!) Estonia declared its independence in 1918, and although it has since been subject to the USSR, it has been free again for some years.
I've grown up learning a few Estonian phrases from Mum and Grandma. "Ilus" means beautiful. Something sounding like "vagg-i-ee-uh" means "very good". (I don't really know how to spell some of these phrases.) "Ma armastan sind" means "I love you."
I get my blonde hair from Estonia, I think.
Seebergs forever!! :-)

elus...bria...yes you probably did get your blonde hair from estonia.But actually my dad had really blonde wavy hair as a boy, and my mom had more auburn hair. Candy and holly had blonde hair like yours. My grandmother on the scottish side had auburn hair....but guess what so did my estonian grandmother. Figure that out
