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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
