But the new schedule should still keep him around more often-yippee! Damian started day care last week, and while mom freaked out and worried Damian had a GREAT time and loves yoga, the playground, dancing and everything else (except maybe being dropped off and napping on a mat). Daddy had to drag him out in the afternoons so that made us very happy-he again is such a great easy kiddo! Claire was excited to see all her friends again and now is up to 4 best friends i think??? Such a lovey lady-no surprise to us how popular she is already!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-9043306780468011766?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-27753669762768585512011-08-03T20:04:00.000-07:002011-08-03T20:23:42.070-07:00Kid spree et all...OK, now haze the coyote honey....I know it looks fun but go for it!

Claire still just astounds us every day-so smart and funny and loving and beyond her years...I hope to someday have the vocabulary she does!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-2775366976276858551?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-33452810979741521742011-07-17T19:23:00.000-07:002011-07-17T19:48:37.276-07:00Too much going on to blog!

Damian, on the other hand, was NOT interested in dressing up and after a few failed attempts to get his costume on all gave up and he hit the hay around 5:30 pm. ;o) Grandpa and Grandma were here a lot of the weekend and the kids loved showing off and spending time with them before they leave again for VEGAS!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-5811209580825370789?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-68443876899757979762010-10-24T18:26:00.000-07:002010-10-24T18:36:28.125-07:00Fun at the Pumpkin Patch et alllove my motorcycle! when I can get a turn on it!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTelqfUmhI/AAAAAAAABfU/1rrHNL-lMqk/s1600/DSCN5823.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531790980960000530" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTelqfUmhI/AAAAAAAABfU/1rrHNL-lMqk/s320/DSCN5823.jpg" /></a><br /><div>end of a long day...<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTelGgJb0I/AAAAAAAABfM/4X6-0vuG-7A/s1600/DSCN5926.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531790971299786562" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTelGgJb0I/AAAAAAAABfM/4X6-0vuG-7A/s320/DSCN5926.jpg" /></a> <div>fearless<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTek9V_wKI/AAAAAAAABfE/atIfVq8a_Jc/s1600/DSCN5920_edited.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531790968841289890" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTek9V_wKI/AAAAAAAABfE/atIfVq8a_Jc/s320/DSCN5920_edited.jpg" /></a> Oh-I saw the last guy go head first so... <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTekpn4RhI/AAAAAAAABe8/HqYRAbcFX5Y/s1600/DSCN5909_edited.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531790963547588114" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTekpn4RhI/AAAAAAAABe8/HqYRAbcFX5Y/s320/DSCN5909_edited.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdaouYB5I/AAAAAAAABe0/-84RVJ3Lu3o/s1600/DSCN5899.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531789691996080018" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdaouYB5I/AAAAAAAABe0/-84RVJ3Lu3o/s320/DSCN5899.jpg" /></a> <div>the perfect pumpkin<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdZ5d9GBI/AAAAAAAABes/uVry4HZQV7E/s1600/DSCN5894.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531789679310739474" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdZ5d9GBI/AAAAAAAABes/uVry4HZQV7E/s320/DSCN5894.jpg" /></a> Here's another one! <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdZueAPaI/AAAAAAAABek/2vFYeHbp40c/s1600/DSCN5865.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531789676358155682" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdZueAPaI/AAAAAAAABek/2vFYeHbp40c/s320/DSCN5865.jpg" /></a> <div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdZXxzAiI/AAAAAAAABec/ApTqbXkJ4Sw/s1600/DSCN5857.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531789670267159074" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdZXxzAiI/AAAAAAAABec/ApTqbXkJ4Sw/s320/DSCN5857.jpg" /></a> <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdYzjetrI/AAAAAAAABeU/Bbdh1OqaQDs/s1600/DSCN5810_edited.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 255px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531789660543432370" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/TMTdYzjetrI/AAAAAAAABeU/Bbdh1OqaQDs/s320/DSCN5810_edited.jpg" /></a> <div>Had a blast with grandma and grandpa at the pumpkin patch!

Lots of fun this month with the grandparents and Darren is finally out for the summer and looking forward to lotsa kiddo time! Claire is officially "the boss", the house resounds with "sit here" "go to sleep" "don't touch that" and so much more...while our sweet Damian hangs out and smiles!<br /><br />ok-computer problems all month so no pictures but I'll get some up somehow soon...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-7514894504098478956?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-24426516598603092202010-05-09T20:02:00.000-07:002010-05-09T20:12:01.085-07:00Happiest Mothers day with the two BEST KIDS!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d5QKxeTeI/AAAAAAAABQc/K9sc8UXN34I/s1600/DSCN3921.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469473591141486050" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d5QKxeTeI/AAAAAAAABQc/K9sc8UXN34I/s320/DSCN3921.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d5Pm7MerI/AAAAAAAABQU/FsPmzueDyLs/s1600/DSCN3887.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469473581518584498" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d5Pm7MerI/AAAAAAAABQU/FsPmzueDyLs/s320/DSCN3887.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4gAwNZcI/AAAAAAAABQM/mDyB2Xm93Lo/s1600/DSCN3860.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469472763818108354" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4gAwNZcI/AAAAAAAABQM/mDyB2Xm93Lo/s320/DSCN3860.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4fltVsmI/AAAAAAAABQE/kty0BGKy7vo/s1600/DSCN3850.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469472756558312034" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4fltVsmI/AAAAAAAABQE/kty0BGKy7vo/s320/DSCN3850.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4e7YMN4I/AAAAAAAABP8/nzfwah5So9E/s1600/DSCN3845.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469472745195321218" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4e7YMN4I/AAAAAAAABP8/nzfwah5So9E/s320/DSCN3845.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4eRjYHuI/AAAAAAAABP0/V9oYty3fM0E/s1600/DSCN3842.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469472733967949538" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4eRjYHuI/AAAAAAAABP0/V9oYty3fM0E/s320/DSCN3842.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4dkQ0WKI/AAAAAAAABPs/Y_fJaYL5U9c/s1600/DSCN3836.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469472721810512034" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d4dkQ0WKI/AAAAAAAABPs/Y_fJaYL5U9c/s320/DSCN3836.jpg" /></a> <div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d35SxwQEI/AAAAAAAABPk/emv_pSldz3E/s1600/DSCN3883.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469472098641526850" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d35SxwQEI/AAAAAAAABPk/emv_pSldz3E/s320/DSCN3883.jpg" /></a><br /><div><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d33NXpwUI/AAAAAAAABPM/bgTvrqux8JI/s1600/DSCN3940.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469472062830133570" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d33NXpwUI/AAAAAAAABPM/bgTvrqux8JI/s320/DSCN3940.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d32aG7KPI/AAAAAAAABPE/TInO91EV0dQ/s1600/DSCN3949.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469472049069762802" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S-d32aG7KPI/AAAAAAAABPE/TInO91EV0dQ/s320/DSCN3949.jpg" /></a><br /><div><div>Damians first hike went great!

D finally got his own crib-Claire has too much going on to stay in her big girl bed right now, so we're going with it. He is sitting up!!! (although not yet rolling over. ??;o)) and he tried his first solids-ew was the initial impression. Claire is delighted the weather has us back outside and is busily helping get the yard ready. Check her out vaccuuming up ants with her super cool explorer kit from Uncle Larry-Thanks!

Claire has added so many words this past 2 weeks its hard to keep up! "Me too!" is popular and adorable, "Mine!" has made an appearance and is much less cute. Other new phrases "I'm stuck, help me!" "Stand up Grandma!" "Come here Charlie, be nice!" Damian is playing in the jumper now and learning how to work all the toys, with help from his big sis. He also had his debut in the swings at the playground-wasn't too sure about all that...<br />Easter was so much fun-2 easter egg hunts and Claire was a PRO. "More Eggs! More Eggs!" was the call of the day.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-4829691586791577727?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-27254915640489659892010-03-22T19:58:00.001-07:002010-03-22T20:06:11.438-07:00Love Bugs<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gv-DWMvZI/AAAAAAAABJc/qCsGa07FrjI/s1600-h/DSCN3151.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gv-DWMvZI/AAAAAAAABJc/qCsGa07FrjI/s320/DSCN3151.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451660092028796306" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gvy3c_phI/AAAAAAAABJU/y7lxzTlCEZE/s1600-h/DSCN3160.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gvy3c_phI/AAAAAAAABJU/y7lxzTlCEZE/s320/DSCN3160.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451659899857511954" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gvyZ1QZLI/AAAAAAAABJM/e8dnIrb_lTc/s1600-h/DSCN3153.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gvyZ1QZLI/AAAAAAAABJM/e8dnIrb_lTc/s320/DSCN3153.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451659891906208946" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gvxzm24vI/AAAAAAAABJE/ZSLYZhdtbMc/s1600-h/DSCN3134.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gvxzm24vI/AAAAAAAABJE/ZSLYZhdtbMc/s320/DSCN3134.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451659881645269746" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gu6rvI8vI/AAAAAAAABI8/0XRJ7CGFRLQ/s1600-h/DSCN3245_edited.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gu6rvI8vI/AAAAAAAABI8/0XRJ7CGFRLQ/s320/DSCN3245_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451658934639719154" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gu5j16GGI/AAAAAAAABIs/qaCH60POsrg/s1600-h/DSCN3174_edited.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gu5j16GGI/AAAAAAAABIs/qaCH60POsrg/s320/DSCN3174_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451658915340752994" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gu44ek_4I/AAAAAAAABIk/LBkQQ1MloYo/s1600-h/DSCN3119_edited.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 257px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gu44ek_4I/AAAAAAAABIk/LBkQQ1MloYo/s320/DSCN3119_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451658903700176770" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gu4WKVkfI/AAAAAAAABIc/A6n0LeMnFDg/s1600-h/DSCN3116.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S6gu4WKVkfI/AAAAAAAABIc/A6n0LeMnFDg/s320/DSCN3116.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451658894488474098" /></a><br />Claire's first parent teacher conference today...she's smart and advanced, a handful and likes to hang out with two little boys who let her have her way...hmmmmm go figure. ;o) Our gal definately makes an impression! ;o) Damian starting to push buttons...so fascinating!

"Taco Shells!" was the words for lunch....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-510590683555652176?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-18104698963193804672010-02-15T16:23:00.000-08:002010-02-15T16:27:27.626-08:00my loves !<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmZPHERWI/AAAAAAAABGc/BaXAPBV9C74/s1600-h/DSCN2964.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmZPHERWI/AAAAAAAABGc/BaXAPBV9C74/s320/DSCN2964.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438631346253874530" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmYhRS32I/AAAAAAAABGU/3249jgKrum8/s1600-h/DSCN2961.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmYhRS32I/AAAAAAAABGU/3249jgKrum8/s320/DSCN2961.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438631333948743522" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmX-fq6PI/AAAAAAAABGM/tzRPqiLByQw/s1600-h/DSCN2927_edited.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmX-fq6PI/AAAAAAAABGM/tzRPqiLByQw/s320/DSCN2927_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438631324613798130" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmXUNcD8I/AAAAAAAABGE/DJ5xN8HD3aw/s1600-h/DSCN2923_edited.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmXUNcD8I/AAAAAAAABGE/DJ5xN8HD3aw/s320/DSCN2923_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438631313263038402" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmXI50_XI/AAAAAAAABF8/Q5X-4pINVe4/s1600-h/DSCN2913_edited.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S3nmXI50_XI/AAAAAAAABF8/Q5X-4pINVe4/s320/DSCN2913_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438631310227996018" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-1810469896319380467?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-90194930318323255442010-02-07T13:33:00.000-08:002010-02-15T16:22:43.286-08:00Lets Dance!<object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-7e56ba1043441ada" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v7.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D7e56ba1043441ada%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1329916867%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3DA86413F4978550C29D23AC67F77DB2D794CCB50.5D5AB7379AB2118B5F892F7D2E4AFA869DC4F4FB%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7e56ba1043441ada%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dsr0xG7rmMJcB_GrWNWw0xF6axK8&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v7.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D7e56ba1043441ada%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1329916867%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3DA86413F4978550C29D23AC67F77DB2D794CCB50.5D5AB7379AB2118B5F892F7D2E4AFA869DC4F4FB%26key%3Dck1&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7e56ba1043441ada%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dsr0xG7rmMJcB_GrWNWw0xF6axK8&autoplay=0&ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /></object>This was the only dancing video small enough to load-hopefully its a cute one!

Mom, Dad and Claire went to Disney Road Show-Claire danced for the entire 2 hours and LOVED seeing Mickey and Minnie! Grandma meanwhile took good care of baby bro Damian. Then home for a short nap before pizza, cake, presents and Grandparents! Maw Maw and Pop got to join in the singing over the computer before Claire blew out her candles. Happy birthday to the most amazing little girl in the world and a celebration of one of the happiest and luckiest days of my life. ;o*<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-6851025237425416118?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-79696540479153757162010-01-30T15:57:00.000-08:002010-01-30T16:04:21.383-08:00Western Stock show<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TI9CDzj1I/AAAAAAAABFE/lPILXU85LxY/s1600-h/DSCN2701.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TI9CDzj1I/AAAAAAAABFE/lPILXU85LxY/s320/DSCN2701.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432688001366069074" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TI8i8UcdI/AAAAAAAABE8/vmRmD0JNI8c/s1600-h/DSCN2687.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TI8i8UcdI/AAAAAAAABE8/vmRmD0JNI8c/s320/DSCN2687.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432687993013170642" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TI8Ig-BWI/AAAAAAAABE0/AVYBfJt-TgQ/s1600-h/DSCN2662.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TI8Ig-BWI/AAAAAAAABE0/AVYBfJt-TgQ/s320/DSCN2662.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432687985919133026" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TIE9EYrtI/AAAAAAAABEs/DYNYDeeqgnc/s1600-h/DSCN2678.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TIE9EYrtI/AAAAAAAABEs/DYNYDeeqgnc/s320/DSCN2678.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432687037953650386" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TIETiUsFI/AAAAAAAABEk/KEK_N8XSCbA/s1600-h/DSCN2642.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TIETiUsFI/AAAAAAAABEk/KEK_N8XSCbA/s320/DSCN2642.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432687026804928594" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TIDyHhmOI/AAAAAAAABEc/5dnIj08fqf0/s1600-h/DSCN2632.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TIDyHhmOI/AAAAAAAABEc/5dnIj08fqf0/s320/DSCN2632.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432687017834158306" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TIDHLOxKI/AAAAAAAABEU/35bGshpjjUQ/s1600-h/DSCN2616.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TIDHLOxKI/AAAAAAAABEU/35bGshpjjUQ/s320/DSCN2616.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432687006306976930" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TICv031FI/AAAAAAAABEM/lPozZL5CMJI/s1600-h/DSCN2601_edited.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 257px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/S2TICv031FI/AAAAAAAABEM/lPozZL5CMJI/s320/DSCN2601_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432687000039183442" /></a><br />Western Stock Show was a hit for the first hour-then sleepy kids prevailed! The petting zoo was Claires favorite, and she was really confused on why they wouldn't eat the straw!<br /><br />Sickness has hit the house though-Claire brought home a nasty cough and cold from day care and Damian and I both caught it. Damians worsened into bronchiolitis and an ear infection-he has really been miserable. But he still tries-even crying when he makes eye contact he smiles through the tears!<br />Dr's visit surprised us though-he weighs just under 16 pounds already! That puts him at the 97%-EEK. SO he is definately getting enough food...my little sumo! <br />My good college friend Eileen came to visit-sorry about the sickies all around but it was wonderful to see her!

We had a beautiful, cold white christmas. Claire got the idea VERY quickly-she was our present elf and passed out all the gifts under the tree. She loved her art easel, and had a masterpiece drawn before mommy and Damian even got out of bed! She also figured out quickly that her new sit and spin made a perfect stool to sit at while she drew-she constantly amazes us at how clever she is!She loved unwrapping her presents and also unwrapped Damians and showed him his. ;o) Grandma and Grandpa spent all day with us, Darren made a pancake breakfast, and we all got great presents from family and Santa!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-2370624362952893228?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-25173001188245968362009-12-24T12:50:00.000-08:002009-12-24T13:00:24.244-08:00december with the babies!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWQJLsZjI/AAAAAAAAA_U/5bYYzJ0Jv7E/s1600-h/DSCN2178_edited.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 282px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWQJLsZjI/AAAAAAAAA_U/5bYYzJ0Jv7E/s320/DSCN2178_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418910349488055858" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWPwPiF5I/AAAAAAAAA_M/YF-d7QmQB7Y/s1600-h/DSCN2151.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWPwPiF5I/AAAAAAAAA_M/YF-d7QmQB7Y/s320/DSCN2151.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418910342793271186" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWPQuso_I/AAAAAAAAA_E/oJI1s92O3kQ/s1600-h/DSCN2124.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWPQuso_I/AAAAAAAAA_E/oJI1s92O3kQ/s320/DSCN2124.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418910334334051314" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWPCNDLcI/AAAAAAAAA-8/RPqgqC_6C9s/s1600-h/DSCN2073.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWPCNDLcI/AAAAAAAAA-8/RPqgqC_6C9s/s320/DSCN2073.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418910330434825666" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWO8QRIVI/AAAAAAAAA-0/LNszGkSIyIg/s1600-h/DSCN2105.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPWO8QRIVI/AAAAAAAAA-0/LNszGkSIyIg/s320/DSCN2105.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418910328837710162" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVS5sjpqI/AAAAAAAAA-s/QNFaksxeC3c/s1600-h/DSCN2059.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVS5sjpqI/AAAAAAAAA-s/QNFaksxeC3c/s320/DSCN2059.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418909297358907042" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVSTPq1yI/AAAAAAAAA-k/M9uzlmRsK8c/s1600-h/DSCN2043.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVSTPq1yI/AAAAAAAAA-k/M9uzlmRsK8c/s320/DSCN2043.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418909287037196066" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVR79EpzI/AAAAAAAAA-c/-pE5UIJQusE/s1600-h/DSCN2038.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVR79EpzI/AAAAAAAAA-c/-pE5UIJQusE/s320/DSCN2038.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418909280785180466" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVRqPPVCI/AAAAAAAAA-U/s2LBzDmOAU4/s1600-h/DSCN1998.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVRqPPVCI/AAAAAAAAA-U/s2LBzDmOAU4/s320/DSCN1998.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418909276029539362" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVRebB8lI/AAAAAAAAA-M/H7g-tAUuZ80/s1600-h/DSCN1895.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SzPVRebB8lI/AAAAAAAAA-M/H7g-tAUuZ80/s320/DSCN1895.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418909272857768530" /></a><br />Damians two months dr visit told us what we already knew-he's a big boy! He was 13.1 lbs-2 lbs more than Claire weighed at the same age! For bo ys it puts him at the 75%. He's 22 1/4 in long-only 25%-so he's short and chubby! ;o)<br />Claire is amazing-coming up with games and jokes, she loves cracking everyone up. She is slowly working on potty training (physically she does great, but shes not overly interested yet. SHe helps tons with her little brother and is great at getting things for him. And she loves putting things away! We'll see how long this lasts...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5261756216455662262-2517300118824596836?l=claireraine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06216551278650378051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261756216455662262.post-35269069072755407582009-12-13T16:55:00.000-08:002009-12-13T16:59:38.902-08:00butterfly pavilion & the sumo wrestler..<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SyWN0SKRmPI/AAAAAAAAA-E/PBb1JfpWs6U/s1600-h/DSCN1952.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SyWN0SKRmPI/AAAAAAAAA-E/PBb1JfpWs6U/s320/DSCN1952.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414890056350537970" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-1m2sWcdkw/SyWNzvKQQyI/AAAAAAAAA98/p-FbQEDEXzI/s1600-h/DSCN1943.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:poin
