Spinach face

I'm way behind on blogging and picture organizing. I plan to tell you all about Tucson, which is now already two weeks distant. And I still have pics and stories from January, February, March...and now its already April!!

We've had a rough couple weeks with lots of night-waking, but we are trying to remember that we are a little bit spoiled with a good sleeper generally, and also:

This is the Life of Parenting.

Even with a good sleeper, there will always be periods of waking...hunger, growing pains, nightmares, sickness. And the list goes on...

Due to lack of sleep, I'm still getting over a cold, which I got from Marlin - his first cold. Other than that, we are well; getting ready to go to Denver for Easter, where we'll visit my grandma, aunts & uncles, and my parents and sister who are flying in for the weekend!

Marlin has been eating well, with new foods introduced often these days. Tonight, he had spinach for the first time. And he had no complaints! I have also been recently making green smoothies, as a means of using up a load of spinach that was threatening to go bad. I don't know what I was afraid of in the past, but the green is barely recognizable to the tongue once you blend it with some delish fruits, yogurt, etc. ...and its a good way to get even more of those healthy greens. So go make a green smoothie! I promise, you'll like it!

Marlin does!
