Nora & Claire

Eric, Pappy and I took the rapid to University Circle for Parade the Circle. It was alot of fun but boy was it crowded. The costumes were amazing.

Navy Family Day in Columbus

The reserves had family day so we all went to Columbus. This was our 1st stay in a hotel all together. Things went better than we expected. The next day I took the girls to Easton while Eric was at work.

Nora dresses herself

Nora dressed herself and we took a walk down to Grammy's house. I think this was the 1st time Claire started to like her bouncer.

Zoo

We took the girls to the zoo. Claire was asleep for most of it. Nora was afaid of the animals in the petting zoo at 1st but warmed up pretty quick.

Jake & Kristin with the girls

Polka Dot Polka

Nora had her first dance recital at the end of May. I never thought she would want to go out on stage in front of all of those people, but it wasn't a problem at all. She actually had a great time with it and wanted to do it again. Of course she still had fun time with her friends.

A Normal Day

Nora builds "trains" with pillows. Maynard decided to jump on for a ride. She is so sweet with Claire giving her toys all of the time.

Little Gym

Nolan took Nora to Little Gym for bring a friend day. They had a really good time.

Easter morning

Easter was really nice this year. I was starting to feel really good and we had good day.

Easter

This was our 1st weekend alone. I remember wondering how I was going to manage bedtime. It worked out fine.

Claire

Claire was born February 2nd. Most have seen these pictures but I will post them anyway. Nora did a great job from the start. Sure there were times when she had a hard time but for the most part it was great.

Family Updates

I know I started a blog before and never really kept up with it, but I figured I would try again. I will try to keep pictures and family happenings updated.
