think spring!!!

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 with her first spoonful!
samantha could not get enough squash ~ she cried when it was over!

Love the swimsuits they are so cute!! Glad to hear the girls are enjoying their food- those pictures are too cute.
Just remember spring "should" be here soon and you and the girls will be enjoying the fresh air.

Awww...absolutely adorable suits! Can I get them in my size...oh wait scratch that! I'm with you in wanting Spring! Never been a big fan of Winter, but its REALLY got to go this year! How exciting the girls are eating solids. Sometimes it seems they wear more than they're eating:) Sending hugs wished for warmer weather!! Love, Amanda

Hang in there lady! You've made it through February in and in a few weeks you get to pick out Easter dresses for the girls to wear. I'm praying for a sunny but cool day so you can get your walks back in...they are lifesavers! Hopefully we can join you on one when we make it back into town. In the meantime, do you still enjoy slurpees? Send Thad to get you a pina colada slurpee and sit in a hot bath! :)

I totally hear you on this winter just being one to beat all. I can't wait to see the Runabout rolling down the street!

The suits are so very cute -- and your daughters are just beautiful! How have they grown SO fast. I can't believe I have not seen you guys in so long. Next week I am on vacation, after that we will have to pick a time.
take care!
