Compost Bin

Exciting news at the Held house this spring.  We got a compost bin!

Mallory started by finding us some good black dirt to put in there.

And she showed Dad how to properly put twigs and branches in there.

The Held girls, part of the solution!

Sophie 5 Month Photos

Hard to believe that Sophie turned 5 months at the end of April.

Growing older didn't change her much, still as smiley as ever.

Although she did add a few new tricks, such as sitting up.

Hopefully she is able to keep those beautiful blue eyes.

The Held sisters are still getting along famously.

Rice Cereal

With Sophie coming up on five months, it was time for her to transition to some rice cereal.  Everyone had a helping hand in the process.

Mom was the first one to give it a shot.  She was better the second time around, it was not nearly as messy as it was with Mallory.

Big sister did a fine job feeding her as well, when she wasn't busy looking at the camera.

By the end of the meal, Sophie had gotten the hang of it herself.

Goldy Run 2012

For the second time, Mallory was going to show off her running skills down at TCF Bank to do Goldy's Run.  Everyone had their role to play to get ready for the race.

Mallory got some good running clothes on.

Sophie prepared for a sunny day with her Hollywood shades.

The girls had time for one quick photo before heading off to the event.

After the race, Mallory was too tired to walk on her own...
