Catching Up and Hooray for Dads

Although we have been busy trying to wrap things up here (Drew with his Ph.D., me with finals and teaching summer school), we've had some fun over the last couple months. We'll be playing catch-up with the blog for the next little while. So enjoy these shots with explanation below.



May found us in Cincinnati for my cousin's wedding. (Congratulations Stacy and Shawn!) Clara got to swim in the hotel pool.




Aunteenie is a baby swimming pro! She teaches at H2Oh Baby in Atlanta and Clara had so much fun learning to jump into the pool when I counted to 3.




Clara was the flower girl in the wedding. Here she is in her pretty dress, made by her Nona.




The wedding party.


Clara, Stacy, Shawn, and Evan.


Dad hangs with Clara while she eats a snack pre-wedding. (We didn't want to dirty her dress.)


Mama and Clara share a little chat while Aunteenie looks on.




Daddy and Clara rock out at the reception.
By the way, Happy Father's Day, Drew!
or, as I taught Clara to say, Happy Daddy's Day!
Side note: Drew is an incredible father (is anyone really surprised?). I am so lucky to have him as a partner on this amazing journey and Clara is blessed to have him as her daddy.




My dad, Clara's Paddy, gave Clara a toy chainsaw for Christmas. Yes, you read that correctly.
Although the chainsaw is great fun, currently the safety goggles are a favorite.



Clara says "Safety first!"
Happy Father's Day Daddy, Paddy, and Papa.

Heather, you do not know what a joy it is to watch you, Drew and Clara progress through this blog. Not only is Drew an amazing father, but you are an amazing mother. I will try to remember to scan the pics of you as our flower girl. You were as precious as Clara!
