Waves, words & tears

Little photo op before we said good bye to Daddy today. Claire waved with her perfect little hand and said "bye bye Daddy" in her precious little voice as I held back tears....such a sweet & innocent fair well.

Been strawberry pickin

We spent a fun Saturday morning picking strawberries at the Hunter Farm. Claire had a blast...she loved getting dirty, sticky and tossing them in the bucket!







Chuck E Cheese Please

So after a busy morning of picking the perfect strawberries & a nap, we spent the afternoon playing at Chuck E Cheese, running around the playground and enjoying some ice cream! Needless to say we all slept good that night!

Bright spot in my day

Just wanted to say thank you for all the thoughts and hugs that were sent our way today. This time of year is really hard and bitter sweet....tears and sad memories, but so thankful for the bright spot in a difficult day!

Claire said the word ball today for the first time while playing at Gymboree and also showed off a little bit of her "smarts"....she crawled over to an outlet in the wall (which had outlet covers in it), pointed to it and said "no, no, no." So, she is obviously comprehending what I tell her, that we don't touch outlets, but also knows what no means. I was pretty amazed and loved how she just stopped in the middle of playing to do it.

These pictures were from tonight while she was playing around (and a bit wild) after dinner....she loves her new backpack and has to have it on when she hears Dora coming on. She was also talking to her Daddy and telling him all about her busy day.

She was probably trying to let him know that I let some lady poke her with needles in her legs earlier that afternoon (she was getting caught up on her 12 month vaccines since she was sick last month). Poor baby! But she took them like a champ and after a few tears (ok, more like the breath holding screams), some puffs, juicy and a trip to play at Gymboree she was all better!
