Our budding artist

 Claire concentrating hard on her masterpieces.

 This is Claire's bird,

 her clown with a rainbow,

and her butterfly (Daddy helped draw the outline on this one!).

It is very fun watching the creativity flow out of our little girl!

Little soccer player

Claire wanted to try soccer so we enrolled her through the YMCA. After one practice and game, we quickly found out that soccer was not for her. She told us by the end of the season that all she liked to do was go to practice, she did not like the games! Ms Claire is not aggressive at all and would often times just watch the ball go in front of her and then follow the other kids across the field. She was super excited when the season ended! It was a challenge to get her to go to each game, but she was a good sport and finished off the season. I think we will try something different next time!

Purple Stride Houston

It was a cold day in Houston (43 degrees) but we braved the wind and rain and headed out for the pancreatic cancer walk this morning. With winter coats under our Purple Stride shirts, we did the 5K walk to support pancreatic cancer research. Thank you to everyone who donated and supported us on this walk. It means more than you know to have so many wonderful and supportive people in our lives. With more research, we pray a cure is in sight for this terrible disease.

Welcome to Claire's full body massage parlor

Enjoying the great outdoors!

 On last Saturday we met with a bunch of friends at the park for a grill-out. We got to go to the pond and feed the ducks which was a highlight for all of the kiddos.

 Pipe cleaners are amazing! Claire decided she wanted to be a cat so we made her a long tail and some ears off of her pigtails!

 She loved being a cat so much that she wore her "ears" to Orange Leaf for some frozen yogurt!

 Today we stopped at the park after preschool. We are definitely enjoying the cooler weather lately.
