Happy Fathers Day!!

The GREATEST gift I ever had came from GOD; I call him DAD! ~Author Unknown

Up, up, down

Making great efforts to stand up...
and we're back down!

The Claire & Caroline Show

this is one of my favorites...this is my life :) insane!!
thinking about the next move

always looking for something to be her drum

always talking on a phone

Caroline-"How did she do that? How am I going to get this thing to stay on my head?"

Never a dull moment and what one doesnt think of-the other does :) But wouldnt trade one second of it!

Morning at the Pool

Swimming with one of our favorite families-The Beesleys
Emma, Ben, Claire, Drew and Caroline

A little picnic lunch

Caroline and the boys

11 months old

On the move, into everything and curious, curious, curious!

Just finished pulling all the DVD's out of the cabinet
Now what can I get into?

So sweet and innocent!

Everything is a drum!

Ummm, what's in here?!

Not doing anything mommy, promise!

On to the kitchen to cook.

Might need sisters help in here!

So sweet, cute and a firecracker! Not much baby left...a curious toddler has come into our house! She has her crawl down pat and move in seconds flat. She pulls up on her knees but not her feet yet. Loves to say ball, duck, quack quack, dog and of course still momma, dada and her own little form of Claire.

I have forgotten baby proofing issues, but have been quickly reminded in the last couple of weeks:

~trash cans

~the toilet

~shoes-LOVES to chew on them

~cords, outlets, buttons

~crumbs, dirt-anything on the floor-straight to the mouth

~hair-pulling is her favorite thing

~Gabby-she is truly a gentle saint

~loves mommys bathroom cabinet just like her sister does!

~small toys-poor Claire has a -"nope Caroline can choke on that" bucket for bite size toys

~dogs water bowl

Cant believe we celebrate her first birthday in a month-what a great year it has been! A true joy and ray of happiness for our family!
