OK my blog posts are so few and far between that I am probably the only one now reading (and writing). I think of things I need to post all the time- but sitting at the computer and doing it is another story!
So an update- on Memorial Day May 26 we celebrated Clare's 4th Birthday. The big event for her was having a cake with her name on it and everyone singing to her. She's been happily singing Happy Birthday to Clare ever since.
Two weeks after the big birthday we headed to Hilton Head for a family beach vacation with all of my family- With my Mom and Dad, brothers Jay and Chris and sister Leslie and their spouses and all the kids and a couple of girlfriends for the two oldest kids(who are adults) there was a total of 22 people for a few days! Wow that's what I call a family gathering. One of the fun things for us was Clare getting to meet everyone in the family. We really had a great time. Clare loved the beach but the getting in the ocean was a one time event for her- one big splash of salt water in her face and she was done. Thankfully there is a pool at the house and we spent lots of time there too.
I'll do another post with more updates. Until then here are a few pictures from Clare's birthday and the beach trip- I love the picture with her and Jack on the path to the beach for the very 1st time. In the pool she is with her cousin Adam- she loved it in the pool with him holding her.
