Food

We have had the girls for a week and three days now, we simply can't imagine life without them. They have proved over and over again to be a perfect match for Ken and I. In this week and three days we learned that Kathrine eats really slow, just like her mom, and Tatiana will eat super fast, in fact she will usually be done before anyone else at the table. Kathrine is also a little more picky about what she eats and usually does not finish her meals. So far we have been saying that Tatiana will eat anything. For example they other night at dinner they served trout and here it is custom to serve it with the skin and head attached. When they served it I pulled the skin of the fish back and cut up the meat so it was easier for her to eat. We were all eating when I noticed that Tatiana was really really enjoying what she was eating- the skin of the fish. I told her it was no good and the French lady showed her that she had not finished it on her plate either. That is when her husband asked us where the head of the fish was, we looked around on Tatiana's plate, and it was gone. So skipping ahead to today, we ate lunch at the food court in the mall and I finally found a vegetable pizza, anything I get I usually plan on sharing with the girls. The pizza was delicious, exactly what I wanted, thin crust, no sauce, plenty of veggies and cheese. So I gave Kathrine a bite and she spit it out onto the floor, a little shocking for both Ken and I. Then Tatiana wanted a bite she chewed it and swallowed it, but when I asked if she wanted more she wrinkled her nose and shook her head. The lesson we learned-according to Tatiana, fish heads are better than Veggie Pizza.

  1. We are finally getting around to posting. We are so glad to see the bonding experience is going well for you. The girls are adorable and they are very blessed to have you as parents. Bet you will never look at trout the same again! We are praying for you and the girls.

  2. That's so funny about the fish heads!!! Being a picky, slow eater is pretty typical for about any three year old I've ever known. My kids went through a serious mac & chesse phase around then. (Maybe Tatiana went through a fish head phase when she was three! LOL!) I wouldn't worry too much about painting any sort of picture about what your life is like right now. You are going through one of the most wonderful exciting times of your life, of course you don't want to think about the negative. But I am happy to listen to any of it, good, bad, or otherwise, this is such an amazing story. :) Love you much! P.S. When do you come home to the US?
