making baby food

Megan & I headed over to see the twins & help Laura make baby food after Charlie & Joey went to sleep this week. It was a BLAST.

The twins are getting homemade baby food- which by the way is really easy to make & store.

This is sweet potatoes.

While Megan & Laura were busy with food prep, Brian & I gave them baths.

Then we got them to sleep.

Some nights they sleep good, others...

not so good.

So they are doing pretty great.

Brian put down Crew & I had Finn.

He just sat & stared in my eyes as I rocked him.

I blinked, yawned... but he just stared up at me.

After a good while I laid his sweet little self down into his crib & he closed his eyes & fell asleep.

Oh I am so lucky!

What a GREAT blessing.

the twins- an update

The twins...

Oh the twins!

They are doing fabulously.

And Guess What?!

They are red heads. 

(cue: big smile)

They are big now.

Bigger than these pictures... but I will add more pictures soon.

You know, since I'm blogging again.

On their blessing day.

(notice Megan, Tony, and the boys were there?

 They can come to family things now. It's pretty great.)

Brian & Crew

Laura & Finn

Some of my favorite guys.

Crew on the right & Finn on the left.

They have the same color hair as Jack.

And OH how Jack loves them. 

But then, we all do.

This picture above is one of my favorite ever!

It will surely be one for the wedding video... haha - Crew is not shy.

Finn & Nana

This picture is from early June.

The twins are almost 5 months now.

Four Grandsons

It just doesn't get much better than that.

cooking class & babies

My March Cooking Classes are in full swing.

Here are a couple of shots of the kids cutting up veggies.

Last week we had a class all about getting more veggies into your life!

It is interesting & fun to see the kids react & try new things.

This week we worked on jazzing up our home lunches. Here the kids are cutting up veggies to go into tortilla wraps.

We made ham/turkey & cheese wraps with ranch & veggies

and pb & j wraps with banana- both great!

It's spring time in Megan's town & pretty close in our town.

I am getting lots of "at the park" pictures texted to me & I LOVE it.

Yesterday Chloe & I walked - yes walked, it was so nice outside!

Down to see the babies.

This was our welcome at the door!

Brian & Laura are such great parents.

(smiles from Finn)

Today I spent about 5 hours straight with them!

What a fun time- twins make single babies look easy.

These boys are so good though- really good babies.

Really lucky parents!

More on our visit in tomorrow's post.

while the boys were here

Papa actually had to go to work- bummer.

I took 2 weeks off. 

so we sent him pictures like this one.

Uncle Brian came over & started pillow fights. 

We looked at snow & snow falling.

Joey worked on our computer- it's in the kitchen- which is great when you have teenagers, but not so great for toddlers. But I didn't care. Trent can always fix it.
