HAPPY EASTER!

We wish you all a happy Easter and we hope you all are enjoying the holiday with the people who make you happy!

Coffee with Clover

Hi Everyone! I hope everybody had a great week last week! We are doing really well, the second week of school went well and I am still surprised at how much I enjoy it. This week we purchased a membership at the Lake Superior Zoo and we are looking forward to warmer days when we can begin to get a lot of use out of it. If you have never been to the zoo in Duluth, you are missing out. There is something about the closeness there to the animals that just makes it so much fun. The Lake Superior Zoo has had its own share of struggles in the past but they really seem to be on the right track. Yesterday we ventured to Minneapolis to visit my mom and some of our close family friends and have a meet and greet with Clover. Clover did wonderfully, she was a charmer as usual. She makes me so proud at how friendly she is and how open she is to new people, always full of smiles. When I was pregnant I hoped for two things from my little child: for her to be healthy and for her to be a happy smiling baby. Lucky me, I got both of those wrapped up in a wonderful little package! We took Clover to Rosedale Mall yesterday to meet the Easter Bunny and have some Easter pics taken. Anytime you bring your baby to something like that you never know how they are going to handle it. One of the children in line in front of us screamed bloody murder the entire time so I was nervous at how Clover would handle this. As always, she was a peach and impressed everyone at how well she handled it. Another week looms ahead and we are busier than ever, there are very few moments of open time with school, work and Clover time. One thing I have realized is that having a baby is really ushering a new person into the world and getting them ready to have their own life. Don't decide to have a baby until you are ready to devote your life to making another persons life wonderful...I am glad I was ready for that when Clover came into the world. Until next time, Love you! Tania

6 Months of hugs and cuddles

Today is Clovers 1/2 birthday! I cannot believe she is already 6 months old! I know now how moms can stay home with their babies because every day is a big fun party with the baby! She is always doing new things and she brings joy to every minute because she finds joy in everything! I made my first batch of baby food the other day and have attached a picture below- MMM Pears! Roger made a very large batch a few weeks ago of sweet potatoes and carrots. Clover loves pears but hates peaches and bananas, so I guess I need to make some more homemade batches and see if she takes to those. Have a great week to all who are reading this! Love Tania

Welcome to our blog!

Hello out there! Well, made the appointment for Clovers 6 month check up next week, I cannot believe how big she is getting. She's very talkative now and very playful. She will play and play and play until she gets tired and then she just falls right to sleep. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful laid back little girl. So far she has had the following foods: Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, Peas, Peaches, Applesauce and Pears. She does well with all of the foods we give her and really enjoys eating in her high chair. Last week we started Baby Sign language class. There were about 10-12 other families with babies between 5-14 months old. It was so fun to see all the other babies and to be around some other parents who are raising their new babies too.

The reason I started this blog is to not only keep track of some of the things we have been doing and are planning to do but also to find a good way to share information with all of our friends and family all over the country. Please feel free to leave comments if you check out the page and I hope you enjoy keep up with the Moerke's!
