Merry Christmas!

"Maya wants to go to a ballgame with Dad!"

Maya has been saying for weeks that she wanted to go to a ballgame with Dad. So we went last Wednesday night, and she loved it. The local NBA team is the Timberwolves, and their mascot is a wolf; Maya is obsessed with wolves. Every time she saw the wolf or heard it howl she was giddy. We stayed for the whole game, and we had a blast. If you notice, in both of the pictures Maya can't take her eyes off of the game. She has been asking to go to another game ever since we got home.

On an interesting sidenote, we saw the "World's Most Flexible Man" at halftime. Incredible and disgusting. They carried him out in a tiny box. He passed his whole body through the head of a regular sized tennis racket and performed many other physically impossible feats. See for yourself.

"Meseversary" (aka Mensiversary)

She is a month today. Evan affectionately calls it her 'meseversary.' Mes=month in Spanish. This lady loves to kick her legs wherever she is, hence the one leg sticking completely out of blankets. Last week she started grinning at us, the best present in the world.

Balmy Minnesota

The HIGH, by the weather forecast was supposed to be -1 degrees. Too bad it didn't get above -8 degrees all day long. Before coming to Minnesota, I joked that we were moving to the 'freezing tundra' and I'm thinking it's true.

Snow is here

You know it's cold when you lick your snot, but it's already frozen after 10 minutes outside.

Maya running on her favorite lake, yep, you heard right, she's out on a lake. It's what we do here in Minnesota.

At the lake, giving Evan a look like 'don't you dare take me home yet.'

The littlest lady

This face makes waking up in the night to nurse acceptable. Look at those long arms...and those are three month jammies.
