Table for Two


The girls have officially started their eating career! The journey has started with spinach and will, hopefully, end with spinach. If they are anything like their mother, they will enjoy spinach for a very long time. I faithfully eat a spinach salad every day!

The girls turn six months old tomorrow, July 27th. I think I will bake some cupcakes and have a little party. Yes, the girls will get some cupcakes and especially icing inadvertently. We are still on the breastfeeding wagon and are currently undecided on its duration. I am thinking about 10 months would be fantastic and am nervous about the five days in Las Vegas rapidly approaching in early September. Pete is convinced he has it covered and I applaud his enthusiasm and confidence. I know he will have two willing participants close by to help at any time and I hope he utilizes them!

Two weeks till FOOD!!!


Yes, you heard right! Only two more weeks and then we will be eating food! Cake or death? Eddie Izzard...guess you just have to look it up. Back to the children. We are very excited about the introduction of food and by we, I mean me! I love love love breastfeeding, but anytime there can be an introduction of something new and exciting, I am all for it! We are going to start with the nastiest stuff I can find. I am thinking spinach, carrots and peas. Then move on to the better things in life...fruit! Being the au-natural that I am, along with some coaching from the sidelines (Sally and Angela), I will be making all the kids food and just pretty much giving them whatever I eat. That way we can stay away from the jarred stuff and still get all the goodies. They get whatever I eat at the moment anyway, just via the breast!

The fourth of July was a very calm one. I went to one of my BFF's party on Friday in Thurber, TX while Pete stayed home and held down the fort with the little gals. All was calm and we even met for breakfast on Saturday morning where they were dressed and smelling clean with smiles on their faces! Saturday was a 50th bithday party for a dear friend and we made it till about 8:30pm and then headed for the house...but the cake was awesome!
