Why Norwegians Are So Good at Nordic Skiing

Arild, Ingvild and Mari came for a visit a week ago.  I had not seen Mari in over a year.  She is a charming little girl!  Smart, too.  She has a sense of humor, and it's obvious that she adores her parents and her grandmother.  Here she is helping Mormor do the dishes:

Here are Mari and her mommy, Ingvild:
