Zoe Eating

We started Zoe on solid food back in February.  Here's the story so far:

Feb 16th - Lets try some broccoli.

Feb 16th - So what is this???

Feb 17th - Banana

Feb 18th - Broccoli is fast becoming her favourite food 

Feb 18th - Mini Corn

March 13th - Asparagus (and pasta in the background)

April 15th - Out-eating her sister at Jason's Deli

April 20th - Cheerios are a guaranteed way to get Zoe chatting.

Pulled pork was a big hit tonight.  It's unusual for not much food to hit the floor.  Zoe hadn't napped much today, hence the closed eyes once food made it to her mouth.

Grandparents' Day

The day after Zoe's baptism, Amelia got to take all of her grandparents to preschool for the day.  They did all kinds of activities and a little program(me).



This is how Amelia and her friends use a record player.  She has no idea how you would use it for anything other than crafts.

Zoe's Baptism

Zoe was baptized at Plymouth last weekend.

Easter

We had a fun time this Easter.

On Tuesday, Kate and the girls braved the Mall for Family Fun night where Amelia got to do a craft, get a balloon animal (and was brave enough to ask the magician to fix it when Mummy broke it), and jump on various bouncy things and the girls visited the Easter Bunny.

Saturday bought the Waukee Easter Egg hunt. . . where we were very cold for the 3rd year in a row, and decorating eggs at home.

 And finally, Easter Sunday.  Church, followed by an egg hunt at home, gifts, and the Meiers, Grandma and Bruce joining us for lunch.

Thanks Grandma Becky & Grandpa Jim for the Easter gifts.

These lovely girls are a little tricky to photograph.

Carrot Cake!  We'll make this cake again. . . although maybe not the icing.

Meals for the Heartland

Amelia has enjoyed making lunches for the homeless at Church a few times this year so we decided to participate in Meals from the Heartland over Spring Break.  She and her friend managed the two hour shift remarkably well, mastering most of the different stations in our assembly line.

Amelia Reading Topsy & Tim

Amelia loves to read and has been doing an amazing job.  This happens to be a book she knows pretty well but she can read new books too!
