Morning snuggles

Every morning the boys ask to hold Claire. It usually doesn't last for more than a few minutes, but it's pretty cute how they still get so excited to see her in the morning. I'm afraid these days are numbered, as Claire is getting more and more active everyday!

Happy Mother's Day!

We spent the day at the lake...what a wonderful way to spend the day with my family. I love being a mother! 

Fun times with Bryan and Sarah!

We always look forward to spending time with Bryan and Sarah. Once again, we had a great time! 

The boys are busy getting the corn on the cob ready...

                                           

Claire just loves all the attention Sarah gives her :)

Havin' a good laugh!

We even had time for a little baseball!

Such a BIG girl...

Claire just loves to sit-up now!

 

 

Lazy day with Dad...

6 months old!

It's hard to believe that Claire is 6mos. old already! So far we've been blessed with a pretty relaxed little girl. 

Her two bottom teeth just cut through the skin and she's almost mastered sitting up!

 Her latest stats:

Length: 26 3/4 in (81 percentile) 

Weight: 19lbs. 5oz (95 percentile) 

Here are some more recent pictures of Claire at 6mos old...

                                               

Happy Easter!

Once again we had a wonderful Easter celebration. We started our day with worship at Uncle Dave's church and then headed over to the Larson's for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. I love getting together with family...everyday should be a holiday :)

Easter Weekend...

Playing with cousins and eating lots of Easter candy pretty much sums up what we did this weekend :)
