You Can Learn A Lot Of Things From the Flowers

We learned the hard way the other day that most bulb flowers are poisonous. We have been really free about letting Claire explore the world around her and thought nothing of letting her taste this daffodil - WHOOPS! She had a VERY upset tummy that kept the whole family up most of the night. So parents/grandparents, be aware of this!

Boy, Mommy sure does look tired! Colson is on Claire's right and Soozie on her left. This was an early morning picture. Mommy has been exhausted lately due to some very unexpected wakefulness from Claire (one night she managed to wake 14 times!) and due to a Vitamin D deficiency which has caused her to feel unusually exhausted. The deficiency is being taken care of and Claire has MOSTLY gone back to her 11 hour schedule - thank goodness!I liked the little look on her face in this picture. She even wears food cute!

Seriously, does anyone out there know of a more tolerant cat than this one?

Start the Day with Some Play

Ever just have a picture you like for no real reason, you just like it. This is one of those for me. :)

Spring Time, Swing Time

If you look closely, you will see Geoff up in the oak tree in our backyard. On Saturday, he climbed up the tire swing to replace the rope and to hang rope for Claire's swing. Soozie is delighted for the moment to have the tire swing and it's old rope on the ground to play with. I'm just looking forward to getting Claire outside in her swing on one of these upcoming gorgeous spring days. (And yes, that is one ENORMOUS oak tree and Geoff is one AMAZING climber).
