The Scroggs' Wedding Weekend (July 23rd)

Claire eating her veggies and enjoying a break at the Paw Paw Patch in Birmingham - her first trip there. This was the first place Geoff and I ate alone together - I won't call it a date, but it was sort of a date, about 9 years ago... 

Evie enjoying a change of scenery, well, at least a brief move from the back seat to the front seat during a break. 

The best parts of the travelling were when the back seat looked like this... 

And like this.

The weather was not agreeable. Here we are waiting out a storm in a Cracker Barrel parking lot somewhere around Huntsville I think. Thank goodness for the portable DVD player leant to us by my sister. 

Sleeping sisters. Night one we all FOUR ended up in a double bed. These two managed to sleep - Geoff and I did not.

A wedding day photo - we all wore purple for Crystal :)

Claire entertaining us by trying to fit her sock on her head 

And enjoying the part of her icee that didn't end up in her seat. Thank goodness for stain treater!

July 15 - 21

Playing with Daddy 

Claire recently got obsessed with the idea of flying. She will stand on her toes and reach her arms straight up and like superman and say, "Dare sigh" (Claire fly). So fun.

Sweet baby face 

Cousin Charlotte is quite a bit taller than Claire - her dress for Crystal's wedding most definitely had to be hemmed!

July 8 -14

Early morning with Daddy 

Crazy Cracker - a nickname that I think I stole from my brother-in-law Jason and has stuck on Claire for some time 

Showing a bit of dramatic flair here 

Sitting pretty 

She loves to eat

July 1 - 7

You can't really tell, but she's blowing raspberries. Claire didn't do that much that I can remember, but Evelynn sure likes to do it. 

Already self-diagnosing (LOL) 

My little singer 

Claire says "boom boom boom boom" to indicate she can hear her heart - of course, sometimes she does this when the stethoscope is on her knee, but she gets the idea anyway... 

I liked this little look 

She LOVES saltines 

Reading with Daddy - an all time favorite thing of Claire's 

Graham Crackers are the treat of choice these days 

Sailor girl for the 4th 

Driving Miss Baby 

Pigtails, please, mommy 

Sweet baby face 

Dogs being afraid of the fireworks 

After the constant previews for the Winnie the Pooh movie, Claire became crazy about Pooh again. I told her Nani and Pop would take her to see it and was daily reminded, "Pop see Pooh. Nani see Pooh." They took her in Nashville and she loved it. She is still talking about it!

Best Photoshoot Ever

Sometimes it's hard to decide which picture to keep...
