These are a few of our favorite things....

Maren loves to build. Lincoln Logs are so retro-cool!

We all love pasta. It's fun to eat and fun to wear!

"Roller stair" is our favorite game. You should try it. Throw a ball up the stairs and watch as it rolls down. It's hours of fun!

Dad is our favorite playmate. We love to wrestle with him, and get tickle tortured!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving with Grandma Jan and Grandpa Win. We had a yummy dinner on Thursday with lots of pie and ice cream, a fun day shopping on Friday, and a great trip into the city on Saturday. Maren and Harry both loved the Indonesian food we had for lunch that day. Some of our favorite parts of the weekend were watching both Ice Age movies, building with Lincoln Logs, playing outside, and jumping on the air mattress in the living room. We are all sad that Grandma and Grandpa had to go back to Caracas, but we're counting down the days 'till we see them again at Christmas.

Harry's First Sentence

Harry carefully watched Maren leave the kitchen while he was eating his dinner and declared, "Nana go."

Harry's current words(some pronounced with more clarity than others): ball, mom, dad, cracker(cack), cookie, cup(sometime cuk), bye, no(sometimes with a shaking finger), yes, please(pease), cheese(for a smile not a snack), more, snack(nack), down, Maren(nana), go, Elmo(melmo), Grover, dog, ruff, cat, meow, quack, duck, moo, bock-bock, roar(what a dinsour says), Jack(-O-Lantern), candy, banana, blocks(box), water, kick, goal, bath, ..... and his expressions say a lot more.

A Day in the City

We had a nice three day weekend because of Veteran's Day so we decided to drive into New York City on Saturday morning. We visited the Egyptian collection and the armor at the Met, took a walk in the park, and spent some time at the Central Park Zoo.

Sonogram

There is not a lot of detail but here is the recent sonogram picture.

Baby news!

We're having a baby sister! Can you help us think of names?

Halloween

Maren and Harrison had a spooktacular Halloween! They had parties at school, a costume parade, and a great neighborhood party before heading out for Trick-or-treating.

Haircuts

Maren and Harrison both had haircuts on Monday in preparation for Halloween. They both look so grown up!

Welcome

Welcome to Maren, Harrison, and ?'s blog. We won't be posting everyday but will try to put up pictures from time to time and let you know when something exciting is happening here.

We are looking forward to Halloween on Tuesday. Maren is going to be Peter Pan and Harrison will be a dinosour. Later in the week we'll find out if we are going to have a baby brother or sister.
