Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter! We are doing great! Claire is so big and doing so many new things! She is really good at signing and is starting to sign some letters of the alphabet - it is so cute! She loves to go visit the horses by our house and says "neigh" everytime we pass the coral. She keeps up on our toes and crazy busy - but she is soooooooo much fun!

Almost 16 months!

Still growing big! She is so funny! She has a walker that she hasn't been in for months. She suddenly wants to pull it out, get in it and walk/run around. It makes me laugh. I guess maybe she feels she has mastered it and likes it that way? Not really quite sure!

So I finally decided on nursing and I feel REALLY good about it! I have a whole list of reasons why and felt I researched and did my best to find the realities of both jobs. It feels good to have made a decision - but still hard to turn down an opportunity to start school to soon!

Other than that - just getting through each crazy hectic day! Claire is doing great and hasn't had any episodes since November - happy happy!

New pictures

Hello there,
Yes - it has been WAY to long! I'll tell you the reason. I have been selfish! Robby sent me a book for my birthday - and sparked my interest in reading again. Ever since then, I can't get my nose out of a book. I forgot how much I love to read! Thank you Robby! Things have been good but hectic as always here! Lets see - whats new with Claire? Whats not new with her?! She really likes to be tickeled, like soft - put me to sleep tickeled. And it works like a charm too. I love it! We'll probably have to tickle her to sleep until she moves out - ha ha! We just got done with swimming lessons. She missed about half of them for various reasons, but had a blast! She blows bubbles really well except for when her mouth hits, the water, she sucks in. Maybe a little more practice! She is really good at kicking and splashing in the water though - we had a great time! She has also moved up to the "Sea Otters" classroom with the bigger kids. She seems to really like it - they have lots of fun toys and art projects.

I was accepted to dental hygiene school starting this summer - but find out about nursing in March - so I have a big decision to make. I think I have my mind made up though - we'll see how it turns out! Me and decisions - never been good at it! Hope everyone is well!

Claire is 1!

Can you believe it? Claire is one! We had a little party at the park. The weather was perfect and we had fun! Then I made her a little healthier version of cake for her to dig into onto her actual b-day! I'll write more later on Stanford - its getting late!

Halloween 2009

Finally some Halloween pictures!

Yosemite

We went on a wonderful trip to Yosemite - had a GREAT time and stayed in a nice cabin right in the middle of the park. It turned out great for being last minute! Halloween was also great. Claire was a lady bug - I'll have to post a few more pictures of her in her costume a little later. Its fun having a child - because I find I get to relive a little of my childhood through her - what fun!

Hello

Hello there,
Some new pictures of Claire! I love the one where she fell asleep in her highchair - first time she's done that! She kept refusing to take a nap - and well - it finally caught up with her! So- her MRI is normal -Yay! Next, on to Stanford. Other than that - nothing is new - oh wait - she got another tooth on the bottom and more are on the way because she is going crazy! She also took her first steps on Columbus Day! Pretty soon she'll we walking all on her own! Can't believe its been almost a year! Trying to plan what to do for her b-day... hmm...
