More Playing in the Fountain

Mary brought her iPad along on the trip to Napa with Christel & Mattias so we snapped a few shots at the fountain at the winery (plus she took one of me knitting - my latest addiction).

Clara, Age 5

Happy Birthday Dearest Clara!

What a wonderful day you had. It was filled with family, friends, and fun. Three things that you are really good at enjoying, and making more of.

It's been another amazing year, and it's been so much fun to watching you grow and watching you grab the world around you. You continue to be filled with sparkle, and this fall you brought that sparkle with you to kindergarten. You've tackled each challenge with energy and determination, and with your trademark ability to reel in those around you and rally them to your cause.

Here's to you and here's to Clara, Age 5!

Clara and Margot

these two hug-a-bugs had a great time together. Clara was thrilled to have a kid that was (almost) as eager to hug as she is. Clara also was thrilled not to be the littlest kid around. 

We Made It!

We arrived safely and relaxed yesterday evening after a wonderful visit to Denver and a BEAUTIFUL train ride home. Thanks to Nona & Opa for the pickup!
