Down to the wire!

Well my OB is thinking more likely early than late with the still nameless little brother! He predicts 7-10 days...although now that its been said out loud he'll probably decide to stay in a bit longer! We'll get pictures up as soon as he's here! Yippee to no longer being pregnant very soon! Dying to sleep on my back again...love to all-

Most active kid on the planet..I'm tired!!

More backyard & hanging with friends!

Hi Mattie Cat!

How many gals can pull off that "I just ate dirt" look with such style?

Yes-darren needed a fork lift to get me back out of the hammock. 6 weeks and counting...

day after party snuggling, one of them is hungover....

Beautiful lady.

Septembers party girl

Hula hoops and dress up, playing with stickers and throwing fits have all entered the picture. ;o)We are definately into toddler hood. Common words are "outside", "shoes and socks", "videos!" and she is a dancing queen-we watch music videos on the computer and rock out. Can't believe we are a month or so away from baby #2!

Every day she is more of a little girl.

Plains conservation center

Everything in our power to keep Claire from grabbing the chickens..;o)

sprinkler fun

she definately alternated between rushing straight into the water...and hiding behind the vegetation...;o)

update-18 months old!

So Claire finally broke my camera, so sorry no new pictures today but I'll get a new one asap-can't miss a minute! Claire has adjusted well to day care, this week at drop off she'd run to her room, go kiss her teacher and wave goodbye! Its a bit bittersweet realizing that this is the start of her developing new relationships all on her own with people we hardly know-eek! But she seems to be charming all and having fun, talking a lot and still growing like a weed. She is super social and playful, constantly exploring and investigating. Yet again we are astounded at the complexity of a 1 and 1 half year old! Shes also a pretty smooth operator and knows how to make everyone just fall in love with her-daily we watch her work her charms-huge smiles, runs towards people and gives hugs and kisses (while making "Ahhhhh" noises), grabbing hands and grinning mischieviously. Impossible to resist! Although I may be a bit biased...come see for yourselves! xoxo
