Swimming at the Spray Park

We have a spray park in our neighborhood and we go almost every day. We took Morgan and Chris a couple of times while they were here visiting. Clare is quite the pro at climbing up to the green slide. She is very methodical in the way she gets there. When she gets to the top, she turns around and lies on her stomach to go feet first. It is so fun to watch. When she gets to the bottom, she sits up and says, "Get out, get out, get out." There is a "tray" and she needs help getting over the side of it.

Another Birthday Celebration

Aunt Morgan and Uncle Chris came to visit and helped us to celebrate Clare's birthday. We had a cookout with our friend, VJ, and her husband, Dan, too. Aunt Mo was behind the camera, so we didn't get any pictures of her.


VJ and Dan gave Clare a new baby doll that plays peek-a-boo. Luckily, it has an off button because otherwise, it starts talking randomly in the middle of the night. It has scare Brian almost to death several times.

Birthday Girl - Clare Turns Two

We cannot believe our baby girl is two already. She is a beautiful and smart little girl. She amazes us everyday with everything she does.

Clare was the Birthday Princess. We skyped with Mimi and Pops and she opened her gifts from them - a purple feather boa, lots of beads and jewelry and a tiara.

I made monkey cupcakes - of course.

She had not intention of sharing with her baby brother, but we did get her to pose.

A great shot of Daddy and Ian...
