We’ve had gorgeous spring weather here in Grand Rapids lately! Most days have been in the low 70’s, though we’ve had a few days that have reached 80 and some days in the 60’s. This past Tuesday evening, April 30, we spent some time enjoying the Frederik Meijer Gardens.
I Do So Like Green Eggs and Ham!
Who doesn’t love the classic book Green Eggs & Ham? Even Sophie loves it. I found a recipe for Green Egg & Ham on 100 Days of Real Food and wanted to make it for the girls. Basically you combine eggs, milk, spinach, chopped onion, salt and pepper in the blender and then scramble them in a frying pan. In addition to a Creamsicle Green Smoothie, it made for a perfect St. Patrick’s Day breakfast.
(I used natural turkey instead of ham.)
Lesson learned: Don’t give a green smoothie to a toddler recovering from a stomach virus, even if she really wants it. It didn’t settle well in Sophie’s tummy.
Kayla was sweet this morning. She helped Sophie get ready for our annual St. Patrick’s Day photo.
She even picked out Sophie’s outfit, dressed her, helped her brush her teeth, and combed her hair.
You’ll notice Sophie is wearing a different outfit for the photo below. The aforementioned stomach virus was the cause of the outfit change. Poor thing. Hope she’s feeling better soon.
Love these girls.
Great Wolf Lodge
At the end of January our family had a chance to visit The Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City for the first time (thanks to a great Groupon deal). Our girls had such a great time, though poor Sophie got really tired out! Overall it was a great experience, and we’d love to go again sometime.
Sophie’s Shadow
The sun was shining through the window this morning, which created the perfect opportunity to introduce Sophie to shadows. It was hard to get her to hold still, but I managed to get this shadow photo of the little sweetheart.
Christmas Morning
December was a great month getting ready to celebrate Christmas. We had a few months of good health and were hoping it would last through the holidays. Unfortunately I started coming down with the flu (influenza, not stomach flu) on Christmas Eve while making these cinnamon rolls.
But they still turned out super delicious! Thanks, Pioneer Woman!
Here are a couple pictures of our family on Christmas morning.
The girls came down with the flu next, and finally Aaron. After four years of being sick over the holidays, I think we’ll just expect it next year. Despite the illness, we did have a great Christmas and are thankful to all be healthy again.
