Laughing with Liesel
MOM knows how to tickle a smile out of her!
Buggy and Buddy both love to empty the basket of all of their toys.

Happy Birthday Aunt Laurie
MAY seems to be birthday month. Dad's sister Laurie celebrates the anniversary of her 20th birthday today. And his mom is having one on the 26th (she will be 20 again too).
The New Family looks forward to seeing them all for Christmas.

Happy Birthday Opa
MOTHER'S day was also Opa's birthday. The New Family visited with him while he recuperates from knee surgery in the hospital. After his first discharge, the doctor determined a manipulation was necessary for him to heal properly, so he is spending some more time in in-patient rehabilitation.
Mom's brother, sister-in-law, and their three daughters were present to help celebrate.
The Twins are popular party guests.

Happy Mother's Day
THE New Family wishes all Mothers a very Happy Mother's Day!
This is the NF Mom's first Mother's Day. She is thankful for her children and for the influence of her own mother.
Mom and her mother both loved tulips and the color purple.
The New Family spent part of Mother's Day at the outlet mall.
Mom got a new watch ($39.99 clearance, woo hoo!).
And a twins and family pendant (an early Mother's Day gift from her dad).
The kids expressed their opinion of Mom with their outfits.
Buggy and Buddy spent some time in the sunshine. Buggy had to squint because no one thought to bring her sunglasses.

"I do it myself Daddy!"
THE Twins have entered a new phase- self feeding. Sounds wonderful right? Wrong. They will eat very little that is spoon fed to them. Liesel usually gives up after two spoonfuls. So Dad has given them finger foods like oat, cheese, and other puffs. The problem with this is that puffs have low nutritional value and are high in sugar and salt. They need the nutrition that comes from veggies and protein.Sure they need the energy from carb sources. But they get plenty of simple and complex carbs.
The Parents try to supplement with formula, but they have lost interest in bottle feeding except first thing in the morning. They want to feed themselves hand to mouth.
What to do?
Dad decided to mix their solids in with oat puffs and let them feed themselves. It seemed to work, even for Little Miss Finicky. But it made a terrible mess. Dad is still washing food out of their hair.
