I’m hoping the sun will shine again one day this month – I looked at the forecast and once again clouds and scattered t-storms are predicted for the next 10 days. Yesterday there was a thunderstorm that produced some amazing hail and thunder which shook the house. Claire kept saying “WOW!” and I scrambled around trying to locate some matches and flashlights just in case. … Continue reading The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow…or not
Check out the matching hairdo’s Dan and Claire were sporting this weekend! I think Dan is the most tolerant guy I know…but he still wouldn’t leave the house done up like this. Oh well. At least I snapped a few pictures to share with you guys if I couldn’t show off my dynamic duo at the mall. Thanks for being such a good sport Dan! … Continue reading Daughter, Daddy and their ‘dos

Our state has really been pushing the above mantra and Claire and I along with a few friends were happy to oblige on Friday! We checked out Donaldson Farms and their VERY delicious strawberry patch. I have to say that while Claire enjoyed picking the berries, the eating of her harvest or maybe the baby goats on display were her favorite part of the day. … Continue reading Eat Fresh, Buy Local
“Wooooooowww, weeee-weeee! ” Is Claire’s newest phrase, can you guess why? Well I wanted to wait a week to be sure, but I can now officially announce Claire is “potty trained!” We’ve been almost 2 weeks now with NO diapers at all…even at night!
