Claire is talking so much these days - new words/phrases almost daily and we are all eating it up! Apparently, I say "Okay, Bye" a lot on the phone :)
This song was handed down to Miss Claire from her great Grandma, who taught it to my mom, who taught it to me, and now we've taught it to Claire. The actions come first, but now she adds her little words and it is so dang cute!!
Claire loves her Auntie Megan and her cousin Chloe - they have a lot of fun together!
Uncle Jerry knows how to have fun too!!
Claire loves her some AVOCADOS!!
We got to help Jena take the twins to the doctor. They were so cute and we had a great time! The kids were fascinated with the fish tank.
My kiddos were experimenting with making fire! They were having so much fun - I felt bad telling them its illegal to make an open fire in city limits.
Babysitting River and Evi is always a good time! They are growing so fast and so sweet!! They are crawling everywhere and oh so happy!
I got to take a last minute trip to California to visit my cousins Mark and Sandra, Aunt Jane, and Uncle Morgan. Usually they live in Albuquerque, but they were in Cali at Stanford University for a study (Mark is very ill). So, I jumped on the train and headed south. This was my first time on a train and I liked it. It would have been better with a partner, but I survived. I learned a lot about public transit too - which was a new adventure for me. I enjoyed the feeling of having to get somewhere you've never been using modes of transportation I've never used. I got a little nervous because San Francisco is so big - but I was successful and it felt great to learn something new! In one weekend I rode the train, the bus, and the BART (like our MAX). I spent most of my time just sitting and talking with Mark whenever he was awake. I loved every minute. I really enjoyed seeing my Aunt and Uncle too that I miss so dearly since they have moved. My soul was filled to the brim and I am so grateful for my mom and Halsy that filled in and made it poccible.
The last day we were there Morgan and Jane took me sight seeing in San Fran! We saw the Painted Ladies from Full House, crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, ate dinner at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co on Pier 39! We had such a great time!!
Halsy and I went to a Poetry and Beverage Party! We had never been to one before, but best believe we will go again. It was so much fun and we laughed a lot. This was my original poem and it won the 1st prize of $10 to Cold Stone!! Halsy got 4th place - not bad! We stayed to play games after and got to bed late - so worth it. The kids slept at my parents house so we could stay out late :)
And to finish it off - Claire's sweet dance moves!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving - can't wait for the yummy food, games, turkey naps, and time with family!
