Move over Mia Hamm!

Maren is playing soccer. They won their first game 5-2, with Maren playing goalie in the 2nd half. Mom couldn't watch, she was too nervous. Maren kept cool and stopped a flurry of shots on goal. The 1st and 2nd Grade Girls League is much more intense than last year's Kindergarten league. Games on Monday night? What's with that?

First Day of First Grade

FOOD

Norah is beginning to explore the world of solid foods. She's not to crazy about it, but when Maren feeds her it's a lot more fun.

Utah!

We had a great time in Utah. Playing with cousins is the best!

Field Day

Today was Maren's Kindergarten Field Day. Only 1 more day of school left to go! Hurray!

Happy home

It has been a busy time in our house lately. Maren turned 6 years old last week. She's such a big kid now. We had a nice little family party with a delicious cake made by Grandma Veloy. Maren loved the finished product, but Harry loved "helping" with the frosting.

Norah is growing quickly. She's gained 12 oz. in the past week, and is having longer stretches of "awake" time. Her eyes are so bright and watchful. It's a wonderful world she's a part of!

A family of five

Here is our first family portrait. We really love having baby Norah as part of our crew.

We're Ready

Here are 2 reasons my mom hasn't posted anything in so long; that big belly and little boy.

We are so excited to meet our baby sister, and to see both of our Grandmas in the next few days. Hurray!
