Easter



We had a fun 1st Easter with Claire. Well, Chad was working, so I had fun with her! :) I took a bunch of pictures of her in her Easter dress. I just took them in our backyard since it was so nice outside. Chad, Claire and I went to our church's Easter production Friday night since that was the only time Chad could go. I missed a lot of it since I had to go out into the hall with Claire. I should have taken her to her class, but I didn't do it. We are thankful for Jesus and that he died for us to give us life. Happy Easter!

St. Patrick's Day


Chad and I had our very first date on St. Patrick's Day 9 years ago!! I can't believe we have been together for almost a decade. Crazy! I had found a little bib while I was still pregnant that says "Baby's First St. Patrick's Day" and thought it was very fitting.

I Love It!!





I love springtime because there are so many new things around. I love the warmer spring weather (some days are already hot), the green sprouting up everywhere when our trees get new leaves, and the fun atmosphere it creates. I love going for walks and just being outside. It is fun now because Claire is big enough to ride in her stroller without the car seat, so we can finally go for walks! She is growing so much and has such a FUN personality! Chad and I just love watching her smile and realize things she likes. We notice she really likes to sit up and feel like a big girl. She loves her bananas and apples. She loves to talk...sometimes it sounds like "dadada" but I don't think she knows she is getting Daddy's name in there. I have tried to get "mama" out, but it hasn't worked yet.
I am also really excited for summer! I can't wait for school to be out and I can spend my days with Claire. It will be fun to go to the pool, the park, maybe even camping. She already has 2 swimming suits ready to go.
Oh yes, and shopping is a whole new adventure with a little girl. I enjoy finding things for myself, but I think I like it more when we buy things for her! I get excited for her to wear her new outfits!
My mom came down for spring break, so here are some recent pics and from when Mom/Grandma was here.
