You might recognize this doll as one of Claire’s Christmas presents from Grandma Caca. If you look carefully, you’ll see Claire has added her own “embellishments” to baby. Yes, that is food shoved into baby’s mouth…little Claire is such a toddler now. Continue reading Eat Baby, Eat!
I was going to write a nice long entry about Claire helping me out in the kitchen while making pizza dough, but she woke up ruining my plans. I’ll just share the photos instead – her flour covered nose tells the story perfectly. Click on the slide show again for larger photos, you’ll want to see these close up for sure! http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf Continue reading Introducing my sous chef
We’ve been working on a little something here so you have to cut us some slack!

Gecko (our brown tabby) was so excited about all the new smells that he had to make himself a new bed right on the dining room floor. Of course Claire had to join in, who doesn’t love an impromptu snuggle with their favorite kitty? The two of … Continue reading Copy Cat!
The holidays were great, it was so nice to have Dan home for a week but I am so thankful to be back to our regular routine! The library is running all kinds of new storytime activities with crafts that start later in the day so I won’t to drag a groggy kid (read: myself) to an early morning class. Gymboree starts back up, the … Continue reading Oh Happy Day!
