Fall Songs and Stories Video

We had a very good Thanksgiving up north in the snow with Will's family! Unfortunately, we forgot to take any pictures. To make up for poor blog posting and no Thanksgiving pictures, we have a rare video to bring you. Claire (and Lise) do all sorts of fun songs and poems they learn at Amy's house (day care). We've been trying for weeks to get Claire to do them for the camera, but she usually clams up as soon as she sees it. For whatever reason, Sunday night she was all for singing and talking for the camera and she kept thinking of more and more songs/stories she wanted to do while I took video of her (and then she wanted to watch it after that.) So here is a video of some of her favorite fall songs/stories! Enjoy - because chances are good you'll never see these in person - she's too shy! (sorry about the sound quality)

4 years old!

Claire is now 4 years old! (on Nov. 3) Time flies when you're having fun; I can't believe it's been that long since we brought her home (it's been nearly as long since we updated the blog - sorry about that!)

Here are some pictures (thanks to Pop) of the birthday girl about to eat her requested blueberry cake, and of her and Lise before the present opening began.


Hopefully some more recent pictures will be posted sometime before... next year.
