Flying Donnelleys

Anna Marie Panlilio is a friend of ours who takes amazingly beautiful pictures of dancers jumping around. A few weeks ago we met with her at a studio and she took these awesome pics of us. She has a lot more incredible photos on her site, check it out. http://www.annamarie.me/ Thanks Anna Marie, it was a lot of fun!4065825037_20cc08ab93_odonnelley-mansOwen-and-Finian2laura-softpopowen-kick-over-boys

Noni’s present for Teo’s leg

When Teo broke his leg, Noni gave to the boys two little piggies, one of them with a wraped leg, like Teo’s. She also made a card with pictures of people with casts on and she herself wrapped her leg as if she had a broken leg too. What a great grandma Fin and Teo have!!!

Quan el Teo es va trencar la cama, la Noni va donar als nens dos porquets de peluix, un d’ells amb una cama embenada com el Teo. Tambe va fer-los un llibret amb fotos de nens amb cames enguixades i es va embenar la cama ella mateixa. Quina iaia mes bona que tenen el Finian i el Teo!!

keep it cool

it seems like we will have to freeze the boys at night so we can have some rest… just kiding ;-) See this article

Traffic

There is some traffic lately at our house. This is one thing they love, drag pillows all over the house. Up and down the house, over, and over. So much fun!

Ultimament hi ha molt the trafic a casa. Una cosa que els encanta es es arrossegar coixins per tota la casa. Amunt i avall, una vegada i una altra. Divertidissim!

Breastfeeding twins sculpture

I’ve never been as rested and calm with the two boys feeding. They move so much, this position would be impossible with Fin and Teo. Also, where is the feeding pillow? those arms must be strong..

Mai he estat aixi de relaxada quan dono el pit alt nens. Es mouen amunt i avall, aquesta posicio aixi asseguda seria impossible amb el Fin i el Teo. I a mes, on es el coixi? deu tenir uns bracos fortissims…

Forest Lodge

Ara som a Forest Lodge, a Cable, Wisconsin. Ens hem trobat amb tota la familia de l’owen, per part de mare. El teo esta molt be. ja camina sol la majoria de les vegades. El Finian l’imita fent-se el coix, si puc en fare un video perque fa molta gracia.

Ara ja diuen mes paraules: Noni (nene), Bubbles (babu), boat (bo), door (do), aigua o water (aua o wawa), duck (da), calent (au!), boom!, wow!, no!

Quan tornem del viatge ja penjare fotos.

Now we are in Forest Lodge in Cable, Wisconsin. We are in the Matteson family reunion. Teo is doing great. He walks most of the time by himself (in the cast). Finian imitates Teo’s walk, jumping on one foot, if I can I’ll post a video of it because it is really funny.

Now the say more words: Noni (nene), Bubbles (babu), boat (bo), door (do), aigua o water (aua o wawa), duck (da), hot (au!), boom!, wow!, no!

Here is the “card” we gave Owen for father’s day. The boys and I made it with crayons. They are getting so good at it!

Fathers day

Finian has been trying to get to the flour can for a long time… well… he finally did it!

El Finian ha estat intentant agafar el pot de farina des de fa molt de temps… be… finalment ja ho ha aconseguit!

Broccol-Wee Soup

broccoli-soup.jpg

We’re big fans of soup in this house — and I mean all of us. I love anything with vegetables, Kenya thinks drinking soup out of a cup is a blast and my husband is into anything that’s healthy and keeps his waistline in check. Therefore, this recipe for broccoli soup fits the bill for all of us. You can even serve it to a 10-12 month old if you leave out the lemon juice.

Broccoli should be a regular food in everyone’s diet because it’s a super veggie. It’s packed with vitamins A and C, calcium and soluble fiber plus it’s available year round. Even for kids that turn their noses up at vegetables, broccoli is one you can usually get them to eat because of it’s mild flavor. I usually make a big batch of this soup because I like to freeze a few servings to have for another day. The only trouble is that it’s usually gone before it ever makes it to the freezer!

Broccoli Soup (6-8 Servings)

1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Small Onion, chopped
1 Tsp Salt
1 Large Potato, peeled and chopped into a small dice
1 Pound Broccoli (about 2 cups), use florets and stems (stems peeled
and chopped)
4 Cups (1 32 Oz Box) Chicken or Vegetable Stock
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Yogurt, Creme Fraiche or Sour Cream for garnish.

1. In a large stock heat the olive oil and saute the onion and salt for 5-7 minutes over low to medium heat.
2. Add the potatoes, broccoli and stock and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
3. Cook uncovered for 12-15 minutes or until broccoli and potatoes are
fork tender.
4. Pour into a blender and puree.
5. Serve garnished with yogurt, creme fraiche or sour cream.

Time at the deck

It’s been really warm this last past days, so we have been able to put the boys naked out at the deck and use Marta’s inflatable pool. So much fun!
