Fire Museum

Our playgroup from church went to the Fire Museum last week. They had a pole the kids could slide down and a big slide. Fun Times...Then just a cute pic of Jacob from that day.

Clean and Cuddly

I love it when my kids are clean!!! Jacob HATES getting a bath so it doesn't happen very often. But, when it does I just want to smell him all day :) Here he is tonight after getting clean, dressed, and cuddled! That is why he is so happy

T-Shirt Painting

Claire needed a shirt for school to paint in. We didn't have any old shirts for her to ruin so I bought some. Seems silly, huh. Oh well. One costs the same as three and three costs the same as five. So five shirts, three silly girls, and two nervous moms and we decorated the extras! How fun :) These girls are Madelyn and Mackenzie, two of C's friends and Meredith, who is my friend!

Bumbo Jacob

I all better

Claire with the Camera

Hilarious. She takes pictures right up against the object. She doesn't really get the distance thing. I love the one of Abby's nose!!! I was teaching her how to take a picture of me when I took this cute pic of her hanging out on the floor. She says to her Giraffe, "smile, Giraffe!" Then, she says, "Ohhhhh that was a good one!" Wonder where she gets that from!

Child's Day Out

Claire had her first day of CDO last week. She was so excited and went right in with no tears. Much different than last year. She is already telling me about her friends and comes home singing a new song everytime. She loves, loves, loves to sing!!! I started a new tradition...Cinnamon Rolls for the first day of school! Yummy! Claire loves them too :)

Myrtle Beach

We went to Myrtle Beach on a whim last weekend and have delayed posting any new pics for a while because I was hiding them from the grandparents. I printed a bunch of recent ones and mailed them to them for Grandparents Day. I know, it's just a Hallmark Holiday but I am a supporter... I think they got them, so I am catching up!

Mrytle Beach was great...Even with a newborn we had a blast. We spent most of our time at the beach or at the pool of our hotel. Fun times. Claire is such a fish. She would swim all day if we let her. Jacob was surprisingly well too. He is known to be a bit fussy but he did great. Maybe he liked the sound of crashing waves :)

Siblings

This girl loves her brother. We were at the mall today and I looked down at the stroller and she was holding his little foot. Like someone would hold your hand. It was so sweet. I didn't have my camera so you'll just get the story. An hour earlier he started crying when I was paying for something and she fished around and found his paci and gave it to him. I didn't ask her to do these things nor did she proudly exclaim that she had done them and expect praise. This is my Claire at 2 1/2, she has such a sweet compassionate heart!

Cute Pic of Claire

Nate took this when Claire was playing in Jacob's Pack n Play. I love her eyes :)
