Miss Muscles
Look at Claire flexing her super strong biceps! She’s really been putting a lot of time in at the playground gym. Wowee kid, you sure are looking buff and tough! I snapped this picture just after Claire’s attempt at blowing bubbles – what a proud moment it was indeed. Here’s another snapshot with her hands blurred from fervent flexing lol: Ok – just one last … Continue reading Miss Muscles
Night, night!
We interrupt this busy day of errands and play to bring you… some peace, quiet and restful thoughts! Claire and I are taking it easy this week – long days of swimming and playing outside are priority number one. Walking up the hill from the beach has been rewarding, wild raspberries are ripe for the picking and boy have we eaten our share! I think … Continue reading Night, night!
Bubbles!
The word “bubbles” is one of Claire’s favorite things to say. She loves to watch bubbles floating down the creek near our house and is thrilled to play in tons of foamy bubbles in the tub. Claire squeals “BUBBLAS!” whenever she sees ‘em. Claire was really desperate to try blowing some of her own bubbles outside. As a result, I got to see a little … Continue reading Bubbles!

The other working title I was toying with:Regina did WHAT with a cake stand?

It has rained so much this summer! Granted, playing outside in the rain doesn’t bother me – Claire’s even got the … Continue reading Can you say Entomologist?
Mouths Too Full To Smile
Here are some photos from Cornfest this past weekend where the girls gobbled up tons of freshly boiled corn, hopped in the bounce house and got friendly with the farm critters. As you can imagine, Claire slept really well that night. And she dreamt of corn – lots and lots of local, fresh-picked, very delicious corn. Continue reading Mouths Too Full To Smile
Cruisin’ in the Jeep
You know, I was going to crop out Claire’s blurry foot in the picture and just focus on her windblown hair…but I think the blur of movement in her hand and foot shows just how full of glee she was at the wind blowing through the Jeep as we drove with all the windows down and the sun roof wide open. Continue reading Cruisin’ in the Jeep
Paint!
View Full Album Well , check another item off that parent to-do list! I broke down and let Claire dive into some paint and I was so surprised at her dainty painting skills. It’s hard to believe that the kid whose food finds its way behind her ears can hold a brush and keep most of the paint on the paper. If you look closely … Continue reading Paint!
