After a long hiatus, we’re back. Claire’s great-grandmother passed away on the 13th so we spent some time on the island helping out Pop.

So here’s a blast from the past – one of our first ultrasound images where Claire (then known as “bean”) measured a whopping 13 mm (half an inch). These are the ultrasound images we … Continue reading Claire is One Year Old!
