Another month gone by...

I remember when we first had Claire, everyone told us to enjoy her while she is little because they grow up so fast. Part of me couldn't wait til she was done with breastfeeding and diapers. Now she's in school, excelling in everything. And Laura (not that we should compare them) is probably ahead of where Claire was  when Claire was her age. They bring us such joy.

Lynn is in Texas for 5 days, leaving me to run the household with help from my trusty assistants, Luzma and Magen. Unfortunately Marlene, the house cleaner, is coming on Monday, so I need to tidy up the house on Sunday. If there is one area the girls do not excel in, it is in picking up after themselves. This was inherited from both Lynn and me.

So with another month done, Claire earned all green dots (for good behavior) at school and we took her to Dairy Queen again. Claire's teacher called us at home last week to tell us that Claire is an absolute angel and all of the teachers just adore her. We will buy Laura a 100 acre equestrian farm replete with horses when she gets all green dots for the month. How can someone so cute and adorable spend so much time in time-out?

A couple of weekends ago, we spent two days in the North Georgia mountains (hills) with the Docka's. We went apple picking, fishing, had a camp fire, made smores, went to a pumpkin patch and took a hay ride. We were exhausted on Sunday afternoon. You can see some photos of our adventures here.

in the meantime, here is a video of Claire singing tonight. You may need to turn up the volume a little.
