Ben Lomond Fun

We've been busy this summer! Clara's getting bigger by the second, it seems, and we're enjoying watching her personality grow. This post features some of our activities in Ben Lomond. Be sure to scroll down to see pictures of our time in Richland and images from Drew's birthday.


Clara and I make cookies...

and enjoy them!

We love tea parties...

and painting our nails.

(do you see any family resemblance?)

Clara talks on her phone...

and helps Daddy set up Baby Sister's crib.

Aunteenie came to visit bringing lots of laughter...

and Daddy and Mama are pretty funny too.

Finally, we can't get over this last picture. Clara looks to be about 20 years old.

Richland 2010

In June Clara and I headed up to Richland while Drew spent the week at a conference near Boston. Clara and I had a wonderful time with Bam, Nona, Paddy, Uncle Sean, Aunt Jessica, Cousin Ian, and Ciara as evidenced by the photos below.




Cousin Ian; he's a rock star.

2nd cousin, Rowan. She and Clara are 5 months apart in age.

Clara making dinner.

On a walk with my cousin, Ciara.

Showing off the cherries from Paddy's garden.

Clara on Nona's rocking horse.

Rowan and Clara give me a big hug. This photo makes me even more excited to have a 2nd girl.

All three kiddos head to my lap.

Paddy carrying Clara... upside-down.

Making pizza with Bam.

Happy Birthday!

Today we celebrate Drew.
He's 29.
He's awesome.



Happy Birthday!

We love you!
