Eating, eating, eating (and a little walking)

Our little greenie-beanie. Aleaha loved to slurp up noodles, and Miri goes one step further and slurps her beans.


Went with our friend Holly to Portland for a day, and we discovered how wonderfully kid-oriented the restaurant Claim Jumper is. They immediately brought a highchair, a table cover, and a fabulous plate of baby-friendly food (applesauce, turkey, mandarin oranges, and cheese sticks - they ROCK!). Miri loved it!

Mommy put in a few t-posts to create a nice grazing area on the hillside. Gotta get my brown and gray lawnmowers tuned up for their spring work!


Went for a short wagon ride to the mailbox. Miri wasn't so thrilled about this. Looking back, now I know why -- she ended up contracting RSV, which is a terrible respiratory virus. She was sick for a week. Missed school/work, had to use a nebulizer and have serious meds, the whole bit. It was awful. She's on the mend now, fortunately.


Aleaha volunteered to pull the wagon back to the house while Mommy carried Miri.


This is Aleaha creating a fun little treat for dessert one night -- chocolate frosting in tartlet shells. Aleaha added sprinkles too, naturally.


Miri gobbles one up.


Check out Miri enjoying her chocolate tart and showing off her new skill: The Wave! By the way, that's Aleaha's voice in the background at the end, saying "Yummy chocolate chip". Sounds sort of like something else with all that tart in her mouth.
