10 months old

Happy birthday to my sweet Claire. It's hard to believe it's been 10 months - it feels like a few days and a lifetime all at once. Our Claire Bear has found her groove and I routinely hear from anyone who spends any time with her, "Wow, she's busy."  I think that means trouble. We will see! Whatever it means, she is the happiest, most fun loving girl I have ever known and her smile and laughter bless me every day! (BTW, she has followed in her Daddy's footsteps and is a total water baby!)

Rubbermaid!

The day I've been waiting for! I have no fonder memory than sitting in my mom's kitchen and playing in tons of drawers filled with Tupperware. No tupperware in this modern house, but plenty of Rubbermaid and I don't think anything could have made my little princess happier than a whole cabinet full of Rubbermaid that I let her pull out and string across the kitchen. When David came home, he thought we had been robbed!
