Halloween Came Early!
Oma treated Maya and Sofia to Halloween costumes!! Maya is the "queen", and Sofia is the Barbie Island Princess.
Sofia has the matching barbie...
Sofia has the matching barbie...who sings, and Sofia sings along with her...
Quiet Valley
We spent an afternoon at Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm... what a cool place! It is an actual working farm modeled after an 1800's PA farm. People don't live there, but they work there every day... milk the cows, grow corn to feed the chickens, make bread in brick ovens, smoke meat in a smoke house, and make cloth starting with shearing the sheep. The highlight for maya was the wagon ride. In these pictures, the girls tried on a hat in the one-room schoolhouse.
Day at Jacobsburg
We enjoyed a hike in Jacobsburg state park. The girls (and mommy) had fun lifting rocks in the stream to find critters. Maya found a frog. She held it, it jumped away, she found it, held it, it jumped away.... this happened about 6 times. So fun!! Next time we have to remember to bring the butterfly net to catch some fishies! 
First Day of School
Maya started school at the end of August, and as a a BIG 1st grader, now gets to wear a uniform!! Mommy is loving this, and as of now, so is Maya. I heard this changes as they get older! She also gets lunch at school every day instead of Mommy having to pack every day like last year. She gets seriously gormet meals, and often Roland and I joke that we'll meet her for lunch! Sofia started her 3-day 3-year old program last week, and is very excited to be at school.

Up to Speed
It has been a LONG time since I posted. It's been a crazy but fun summer. I will give an update to what we have been up to since May.
Maya turned 6 on June 9th. She had a "salon" party. 15 of her friends came to Le Classique to get their hair and nails done. One party game we played was not the classic "pin the tail on the donkey"... but "put the lipstick on the papa". Needless to say, it was a huge hit. You can click on the picture to get a better shot of what a great trooper Roland is.
Maya designed her cake herself, and I surprised her by creating it! The "theme" for her party was "dogs"... she combined the hair salon/dog theme nicely!
After that, Sofia "graduated" from the Little Gym after taking classes for 20 weeks.
Roland has gotten himself in the best shape of his life this summer. He is training so hard on his bike, and so in shape.... he amazes me. He races every thursday night and he scores some points in the local criterium racing scene . On one special night, all of the wives and kids were there to cheer the daddy's (and papa's) on! That was a lot of kids! Roland designed the yellow/white/grey jerseys that his teams wears. His friend Greg sponsors the "Lamprey Systems" team. Go Lamprey!
We visited Renata, Dave, Andrew, Daniel & Labka in Charlotte NC in July. It was so awesome to spend time with our friends!
