Whitney: Dad hasn't been doing very many family letters but Maren and I are still doing lots of fun stuff. So we thought we'd sneak on here while he was at work and tell you all about it.

Maren: I celebrated my one month birthday last month. That means mom and dad can go buy a new thermometer to replace the one they threw away when I was born so they couldn't know I had a fever!

Whitney: I've been working on not touching Maren while she's sleeping...but it's so hard.

Maren: She wakes me up after like 2 minutes. It is impossible to get any sleep around here.

Whitney: Shut up or I'll put you back in the trunk where you belong!
