Life is a Highway

I am working on something creative for the next blog posting. We'll have to see how it turns out.

Me and my Daddy

We had a family day at the park yesterday. I wanted to share a few fun photos of Claire with her Daddy at the park. It was so much fun watching our little girl explore and discover new things. She is getting good at climbing around on the playground equipment and loves to walk all over the place all by herself!

Park

Since the weather is getting so nice, I decided it would be a good day to head to a local park and see if we could find some playground equipment. There is great park in Tomball that has a small fishing lake, soccer fields, walking trails, raised pavilion and 5 playgrounds. There are plenty of trees to provide shade and the cool breeze made for the perfect setting. The only problem we had was that Claire is still too little to go on most of the slides and swings. We spent most of the time walking around and picking up pine cones and leaves. At one point we found two squirrels playing so we stopped to watch them. They must have thought we had food because they came right up to us. With them less that four feet away, Claire slightest movement would send them scurrying toward the trees. She got a real kick out of it though. It will definitely be a place I will bring Sheila when we have a day off together. It is a perfect place to practice your MS Challenge walk (Maureen) or brush up on your fishing skills (Tim).

Later today we are going to see our newest neighbor. Shane and Rebecca had their baby girl and we are excited to meet her. Sheila was there for the delivery but Claire and I will meet her for the first time tonight. Congratulations!

Fun in the sun

We hear it is getting cold up in MN. Claire wanted to take some pictures by the pool to help encourage our family and friends to head south! Hope you enjoy!

Claire had her 15 month check up yesterday. She weighs 23 pounds, 10 ounces (50%) and she is 31 inches tall (75%). Our little girl is growing right on track!

Cell Phone

I went through my cell phone the other day, only after Claire dumped it in the pet's water dish, to try to retrieve the pictures I had taken. Luckily I was able to pull them from my micro SD card and move them to the computer. It was very interesting looking at pictures that you had forgot were available. I always try to snap some good ones to use as my screen saver but when you move through the stages of a constantly growing baby, the pictures come and go as fast as the diaper changes. I wanted to share some of the better (or should I say, focused) pictures even though they go all the way back to the beginning. I mean that almost literally.
