i have been struggling with a serious case of the winter blues. i know people say winter in Michigan is supposed to be full of snow and cold (yeah, i used to say that myself) but this has been an exceptionally tough winter for me. i feel extremely shut in because of not being able to get out because of the risk to the girls of RSV. and i can't take the girls for walks because it has either been too cold or the sidewalks are too icey or snow covered. so in effort to shake this off, i ordered swimsuits for the girls. i have been dreaming about warm summer days in our backyard playing in a wading pool.we were actually able to take the girls for a walk yesterday for the first time in awhile and it was wonderful. i am so ready for spring ~ warmer weather and taking the girls for daily walks sounds fabulous.
here are their fun little swimsuits...
we began feeding the girls solids a couple weeks ago and here are some pictures of their first feeding experiences.
i think keegan wanted me to just put the food on her tongue. 
maggie was not too sure at first...
... but after a few days, she was an old pro!!!

samantha could not get enough squash ~ she cried when it was over!
