Girls, Girls and more Girls

Well, daddy watched the girls this weekend while mommy worked and took some photos of the girls hanging out with him. The outfits they have on were given to them by the Nguyen Grandparents. Mommy thinks the girls look good in mint green, purple and yellow. Daddy says he is getting used to being with the girls and is feeding two at a time like mommy does. He does admit it is hard for him to get anything else done though.
Amelia giving her "I am not going to smile for the camera" pose.
Baylee thinks Daddy is hilarious. Can you tell Mommy got them dressed before she left (the bow)? Mommy is amazed usually Daddy pulls them off all the time.
Sunday night after all our commotion, the girls had their baths, got into their warm jammies and laid on the floor to laugh at a singing, dancing Daddy. Mommy watched from the couch and thought to herself, "They were almost not here." It is hard to get over that, Mommy and Daddy are so happy with their girls, they feel very lucky. Ok, mommy is going to stop being a sap now. As you can see in the photo, Amelia has very stick up hair and well, Baylee has started to grow some more hair. Mommy thinks the girls are realizing what we want when the camera comes out, they actually smile. Note from Mommy: these are her favorite jammies the girls have, they are soft and cuddly.
Mommy has been asked for some of her recipes, so she thought she would post some of the good ones. Tonight she made Auntie Julie's favorite:
Mexican Chicken Chili
2-cans chicken 1-zucchini (chopped) 1-red onion (chopped)
1-green pepper(chop) 1-red pepper (chop) 2-cloves of garlic (chopped)
2-boxes of chicken stock 1-small bag frozen corn 1-jar salsa
1-can diced tomatoes (14oz) 1-can tomato sauce (28oz) 1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp cumin 1 T parsley 1 T cilantro
1 tsp cayenne pepper (less or more depending on tastes)
Very simple-throw all of it in a stockpot, heat until boils turn down heat and simmer 30 minutes
Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese or eat plain. Makes a lot, freezes nicely.
