The Harries Family: More catch up!

Boy, Daniel would go nuts if he read that post title - the kid LOVES ketchup these days! Any time the refrigerator is open, he races over to grab the bottle of ketchup from inside the door and says "Pah Pah", his word for ketchup. Bottles of syrup and pretty much anything else like that get the same reaction at the grocery store.

Jan 21, 2011 One of our kids really loves playing in the snow, one not so much. Can you tell which is which? ;)

Snuggles like these are so sweet, until the hair pulling and shoving begin anyhow.

Jan 22, 2011 Daniel decided to start the day with a little cereal, which he helped himself to from the cabinet. He's not the neatest cook, but luckily we have the "clean-up crew" (Inky) always willing to help.

Uncle and Joanie came to visit in the morning and we all had a great time catching up a bit.

Can't forget to give some love to the (very jealous) puppy dog!

Katherine loved the new toy that Uncle and Joanie brought her and she played with it the whole day. I think she even slept with the little doll that goes with this table at nighttime.

Jan 23, 2011 Whaddya mean I'm not supposed to rip the edges off from this alphabet mat?

Daddy's friend Drew came over with his daughter Rowan to play with Katherine. They happened to be wearing matching Gymboree clothes! They had a great time together and played so nicely.

Jan 24, 2011 Second only to the Christmas dress, Katherine is in love with this purple outfit that Gram gave her for Christmas. We always love how she looks in purple! Any time we tell her it is too cold outside to wear the short-sleeve Christmas dress, this is the outfit she requests.

Daniel's got the ball popper! Boy did I hate this thing about 2 years ago. One day Katherine's friend Riley was over to play and he took the ball popper from her. It happened all of ONE time, yet she talked about it for a good six months. We heard "One time Riley took the ball popper!" every.single.day. Oy.

Daniel loves to give Inky his best buddy Mr. Squirrel.

Daniel and his wooden hot dog cigar. Silly boy!

Cowboy Daniel shows off his big muscles.

Katherine loves playing with Play-Doh. She's making noodles or Rapunzel hair here. They're interchangeable.

Jan 25, 2011 Katherine loves to play "shoe store" and had a blast at Target trying on the grown-up shoes.

Daniel spent some time giving this kangaroo a good brushing while we waited for Katherine to get her check-up at the dentist. He loves to brush his own teeth and Katherine loves to floss. Hooray for good oral hygiene.

Pearly white!

Jan 26, 2011 Love these kids...

Daniel's wondering why the Christmas tree is still up. Sadly it was still quite a while after this picture before we got around to taking it down.

Jan 27, 2011 More snow! We had to shovel out paths through the backyard so Inky could go out and so Katherine could play. It was too deep for them to walk in, but they both enjoyed the maze. Daniel enjoyed watching from inside. ;)

That's a LOT of snow!

Such a fun snow day surprise to get a package in the mail from Uncle and Joanie! Katherine loved the Belle stickers and was HUGGING the Scooby Doo coloring book.

Daniel is hoping to go work with his Uncle Josh on the choo-choos. As soon as GE needs an engineer that specializes in crashing trains and tearing up tracks, it'll be good to have an "in".
