New pictures

If you can't tell that Claire is getting older from her pictures you can certainly tell by the greatly reduced number of pictures that we take. I guess we are giving our camera a break until May. Here are a few recent pictures:

Somehow we caught Claire actually smiling rather than giving us her "camera smile" for this one. Here she models the hot color combinations you will be seeing on the runways this spring.

This is what can happen to glass when temperatures outside are colder than -30F and there is at least a 90F temperature differential between outside and inside. Ours was not an isolated case. Our window guy said he's gotten several other calls where the same thing happened. We're just thankful that only the inner pane of glass cracked.

Claire is blessed or cursed with her dad's dry skin. Sometimes she combats this with Vaseline, as she does here, with great gobs on her cheeks and chins.
