Fruit and Veg

Here is a link I found on another blog I read that has some interesting info on food digestion. I've always wondered why sometimes it's harder for me to digest certain fruits and vegetables. Hopefully this will be a good jumping off point in figuring out better food combinations for easier digestion.

We have also started making smoothies with different combos of fruits and veggies for Camden. Sometimes I sneak in my own while making his. He is obsessed with smoothies. I can get him to eat so many greens and vegetables in a smoothie bc he will drink 3 cups full! Another tip I learned is to drink them alone within an hour of eating anything else to absorb all the nutrients.

Any other good fruit/veg tips out there?

dancing and playing the piano

Here are a couple recent videos of Camden. The first one is at my friend Kimberly's house. Her daughter frequently has little dance parties and requests a song to be played on the computer. This one happened to be Fun and Camden was way more into it than Amelia was this time. Usually she is the one dancing away! He had a pretty good groove going on so I had to post it!





This is a video of Camden playing the piano after I had it set up to practice for church. My mom always let us "doodle" on the piano when we were little and has all these cassette tapes of us playing, so I thought it would be fun to keep the tradition alive and let Camden do the same.





Lil Bro got married!

My little brother (not so little anymore) got married last Saturday and I couldn't be happier for him and Lauren! It was a beautiful wedding (outdoors in the hill country) and Jared, Camden, and I had a fun time seeing all our family while we were there. 

Here are some shots from the rehearsal dinner and wedding

We got to go back to Houston for 2 days post wedding and were able to get all the babies together for a  picture. This is the best we could do! Mason, Estelle, and Camden...toddlers...doing their own thing!
