January

Noah is taking a pottery class. He's made a plate with his name on it, a snowman, and a hamburger with separate pieces. I should mention that he can spell and write his own name. Out of nowhere one day, Noah said, "look, an 'N'" I told him to draw a circle and traced with my finger how to draw an A and H and now there is no stopping him! He writes his name everywhere. (or at least all the letters of his name)


Mark and I went cross-country skiing for a date. We had a great time!


Noah's first dental visit

Maren is so happy and beautiful. We love her!




Here is Noah at the Children's Museum. Every winter, they fill this huge room up with sand. Isn't it awesome!?!



(the sculpture in the background is made completely from sand!)


We visited the botanical garden with some friends on MLK day (all the museums are free that day)


Here's me and Maren the other day


so much snow! It's snowed everyday this year! our driveway is under at least 5 or 6 inches of ice and packed snow :(
