Someone LOVES to slide! Can you hear her little squeal of happiness? Continue reading

Lookout! This young giraffe climbs chairs, and doesn’t sit still…good thing we stopped off earlier at Motophoto for our 5×7 freebie! I’ll scan it and post it tomorrow, it was a really cute set up with hay bales and pumpkins! Here are the scant few I caught without a motion blur! http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf Continue reading There’s A Giraffe Loose!

Claire got wind of the big kids in our neighborhood celebrating mischief night. Of course she wanted to participate. She dug out her gnarliest black sweatsuit and grabbed some toilet paper to join in on the fun. For Halloween Claire is dressing up as a long necked, four legged creature that roams the African Savannah…have you guessed yet? Come back later after trick-or-treating and I’ll … Continue reading Ready for Mischief!

It’s snowing today, and not that nice, fluffy snow where I can suit Claire up and take her out for some photos. It’s cold and damp and utterly miserable. We’re playing inside today.

We’re still working on the nice petting thing, and yes – we have VERY patient kitties. Continue reading Young Friends

I was contemplating digging through the attic and putting Claire back into her skunk costume  for Halloween- but I think she’d make a cute punk rocker, just check out her bathtime mohawk! As you can see since the last bath photos, some new water toys have been introduced. Foam letters that stick to the bathroom walls (Mommy and Daddy play shower scrabble with these), water … Continue reading Splish Splash

With this choice of title, I could write this entry focusing on Claire’s new found love for her nostrils (we keep finding her knuckle deep up there) – but instead I thought I’d share these sweet pictures of Claire gathering leaves in our yard. Grand-Bob and Gran-C informed us of some kind of fungus affecting the color of the sugar maples in their area. Judging … Continue reading A Pickin’ We Will Go!
