Aquarium Playground

This past week we went to a free indoor playground at the Denver aquarium for Shilah's playgroup. Aunt Andrea and Emory met us there, which made it even more fun!

Fun with Vehicles

Here are Shilah and cousin Emory playing at the mall together. Notice how Shilah is talking on the phone in the last picture... I can only imagine what it will be like when she's a teenager :)

Serena Getting Excited

Here's a video of Serena getting excited to eat-- she cracks us up! So far she has liked everything we've given her, although she's not too fond of cauliflower or lentils.

Gymnastics Party!

This past Saturday Shilah went to a gymnastics-themed birthday party for one of her playgroup friends. She had so much fun running around in her little leotard!

And Serena had fun just hanging out... (ha ha, punny!)

Dress Up

Shilah has been really into playing dress-up, as you can see! Thank you to Grandma Youngers for sending these cute outfits...

Easter Fun!

Yesterday we had a very nice Easter! Here are the girls in their matching dresses...














Shilah found an Easter egg!

















We had a great time going to brunch at our friend Deb's house!

Here is Deb's daughter Maggie with their new black & white puppy, Bella. Running along are Shilah and cousin Emory!

Another Easter egg hunt!

Happy Easter!

Here are our little bunnies this morning... we're off to decorate eggs, hunt for Easter eggs, and dress up in our cute Easter dresses!

On the Road to Walking

Serena is now crawling and pulling herself up to standing. She's got a funny crawl and kind of drags one leg, but it gets her around! The bottom post is a video of her in motion.

Banjo Girl

Here's Shilah dancing in her underpants to some banjo music-- try it sometime, you might like it!

Cousins

Emory and Shilah got to spend a lot of time together while we visited with Grandpa and Tita! It's so fun to see them interact now that they're older...













Shilah's not too sure about Emory hugging her...

















Running!

Serena is too little to play like the big kids, but she's just as happy hanging out on people's laps, like Aunt Andrea's!

Fun with Grandpa and Tita

We all had so much fun during Grandpa & Tita's visit! Here are some pictures from their last day with us...

Aimee's Recipe Blog!

I just finished putting all my recipes onto a blog-- whew! Here is the link:
http://veggieaimee.blogspot.com/

And here is the main description of the blog:
These recipes consist of favorite selections from various cookbooks & magazines, along with some of my original recipes. Shanti was raised vegetarian by his mother, Evie, who has been a wonderful source in this cooking endeavor. The main idea is healthy eating and how you really can thrive on a meatless diet. From whole grains in main dishes to honey (rather than sugar) in desserts, this collection will hopefully have something for everyone! If you try a recipe and like it, please post a comment-- we'd love to hear! There are also some tips and info for healthy eating.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Check out these matching green T-shirts. Also, Serena is 8 months old today!

Stumped

A few days ago we took a ride with Shanti's dad down a road that follows the Platte River. We also found this stump near a resevoir for Shilah and Serena to play on. Shilah had a good time throwing rocks into the river, and Serena enjoyed being carried around by grandpa! We're a little sad since Shanti's dad and stepmom left yesterday, but we had so much fun while they were here!
