Tummy time for Avery with her little old man face
Hurricane Irene Prep: We made Clare a fort under the table and we pulled a bed on the living room floor. It was a long and rough night, but we were very thankful to be safe (and dry due to Chris's efforts)

Clare dug her cowgirl boots out of the "doesn't fit pile". She insisted on wearing them all night. Mostly on the wrong feet.


All is well here! We are adjusted to being a family of four. Lots of highlights: tons of family visiting, Clare and Avery already being such cute sisters, Clare's upcoming Birthday, starting a new school and lots of cute little baby stuff. Also, some enjoyable struggles: Avery's visit to CHOP to check a totally fine sacral dimple that scared the Bejeezus out of us, late night/all night feedings, being puked on by one kid (Clare) while being hit with projectile poop by another (Avery) all at the same and also in this column is Clare starting her new school.

So, excuse any typos in my sleep deprived state of mind.

I'll be sure to try and update the blog more often. Hopefully Clare's birthday on Saturday will be lots of fun and we'll have pics at some point Sunday or Monday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
