Grandpa and Clare playing their favorite game!





This is the video of Clare's favorite game. Grandpa chases her up and down the hallway, taking turns hiding from each other. They have been playing this game since she started walking and she runs into the hallway as soon as she sees Grandpa come home from work. It's super cute:)

Park, Ice Cream, Miami Friends and Great Grandma and Grandpa Richardson's

Clare going for Aunt Erin's, aka JR GERMAPHOBE to Kevin, ice cream
YUM!
Leading Aunt Erin more fun places...
Hanging out with Grandmama
Swinging:)
Trying to run...
More swings. I'm pretty sure many a parenting book references this move as "What Not To Do With Your Toddler"....but Clare loves it.
Going down the slide:)

And on her way down...
Handsome Landon with Clare. Our friends Jules and MJ came over for a visit with their son Landon! He's very, very cute. Super smiley and happy. Plus, he can totally hold his own with Clare (kinda a rare). They had lots of fun together:)
Sitting on a log in Great Grandpa and Great Grandma's backyard.
Making a very deep, philosophical point.

Clare's curls post shower....This is without me doing anything to them:)







Aunt Erin was running and trying to get Clare to chase her. Well, upon arriving at the park, Aunt Erin made one too many comments about Clare being clumsy (some how linking it to MY DNA, which Erin shares) so I banned her from any additional comments. She's in the video lamenting her wasting her clumsy comments so early in the day.





Erin, as previously mentioned, is a bit of a GERMAPHOBE. She hates germs. She at one point tried to "wipe" her ice cream cone off after Clare left a pool of spit on it. I bought a Sundae assuming Clare and I would share. Clare of course wanted nothing to do with my ice cream or my Mom's. She needed Erin's. Which is just funny. It never fails, we can all be drinking the same thing, out of the same cup and Clare with want Aunt Erin's. If Clare was a better listener or followed directions, Erin would likely assume that I'm practicing with Clare from Jersey to lick Erin's plate. Sadly, Clare isn't this trainable yet. But I can dream.

Bubbles and Puddles

Watching Yo Gabba Gabba at the airport. This was such a hit that Chris is letting Clare keep his old IPod, since he just inherited an IPod Touch. She loved it! You can see she was happy; raisins on her belly, cup tucked into her side and a show:)
Little Adult/Big Child
Aunt Lisa winning this battle, but not the war on Clare's deepest, darkest desire to be IN the middle of the road.
Leading the way with Aunt Erin
Clare loves laying in the grass or on the ground. Loves it. While that's cute in certain places (see above) it's not so cute in parking lots or public places like Target.
Uncle JR and Clare playing (he thinks no one is watching/has a camera;)
Piggy tails
Grandmama leading the way to the RAIN PUDDLE! This was one of the more exciting moments of Clare's life. Dressed in training pants (I insisted, everyone else wanted her just in a diaper, but I couldn't handle it) and her "I'm Not Crabby" shirt, Clare raced towards the puddle. She couldn't even believe adults were letting her stomp in water!
On a mission....
Checking back to make sure this is for REAL?
Showing Bea her flowers. According to Aunt Erin, she was ONLY smelling them.
Laying on the wet driveway for reasons I will never understand.
Dressed back in our normal clothes again.
ICE CREAM time! I was protecting my ice cream from little hands...
Yum!

Puddles!



Hope everyone has a GREAT WEEKEND! I hope to have more posts ready to be published next week everyday. The weather is beautiful here, so it's my turn in garden HELL joy, so it should be fun.

P.S. Sorry if you checked back yesterday, it was Migraine Day at our house, so life was a Big Fat FAIL!

Hi :)

We are a little crazy right now;)

2 Weeks + 2 boys=Our house well past a crazy mess.

I still haven't unpacked, as I'm fairly certain I can just live out of a suitcase.

Clare had pictures yesterday and has an appt. today for a shot.

So, pics and blog updates are on the bottom burner until tomorrow.
