fun times

the kids and i are really enjoying the GORGEOUS weather. i have the whole week off from work this week, and we have been enjoying ourselves. i really need to post all the pictures from the house remodeling projects we have done...the outside of the house looks AWESOME.

claire turns one!

We have had some less-than-stellar weather this spring, here in Ohio. Rain for 45 days in a row! The weather let up the day of Claire's birthday celebration and the weather was perfect. It was a birdie theme and it turned out very well.

We had so many friends and family members join us to celebrate our spunky little girl.

claire thinks her brother is funnier and more interesting than cake!

summer is starting!

soaking up the summer...

claire's cake!

My friend Kim made Claire's cake for her birthday. It was beautiful AND delicious! (we may have stonlen a few bites!) She was really cute when she was eating it. Pictures from her party are to come.

love this!

I love this picture. Do you see her? Itty bitty fingers...

summer has set in...

We have really enjoyed the start of summer. Grilling out, playing "poolside" and just hanging out as a family. Having our weekends together has done so much for our family's soul. Jack loves filling and emptying the pool each day and Claire loves to crawl in and out.

I let them run naked in the yard, crawling through the grass. Our back yard is so perfect...just the right mix of sun and shade. It's not blazing hot back there, ever. It's truly one of the best assets of our home.

it's all about location

if i could FIND my memory card uploader, i would be updating my blog.

if i could also FIND the TIME to look for it, that may help.
