The month of May was busy and fun. Here's some pictures of the 2nd half of May. My friend,Julie , came from Augusta, GA to meet Claire and visit with us. We enjoyed playing around in Claire's room, Julie played the piano for CLaire (Julie leads the children's choir at her Church and is the pianist for their worship services), and we went to Homewood Park to swing and slide. We are on the hunt for the parks with the baby bucket swings. Julie is the type of friend that refreshes you and is rejuvenating to be around - Life-giving friend! Thanks, dear friend, for making the effort to come love on us! Claire can't wait to come to Augusta to see you - who cares about the Master's or James Brown's statue?!
Jeff returned from a week long conference in Honolulu the day before Memorial Day. We missed him greatly and he says Hawaii was NO FUN without his girls. He had few sips of pineapple juice in our honor. We missed him lots! Yes, we could have gone with him, but I was not ready to put a 9.5 month old on a 10 hour flight and yank her through a 6 hour time change to be stuck in a hotel while he was in meetings most of the days. So, after he returned and we decided to spend Memorial Day resting as he jet-lagged and make sure we did NO work and did something fun with Claire. So we did just that. We took Claire to Captured Creations to do her first art project - a collage of her hand prints. It was tons of fun and she enjoyed slapping all the paint around. Later we took her to discover a new park to us in Hoover - Georgetown Park. I joked with Jeff that we are getting to see a whole new side of our city and ourselves now that we have a child...we love it! We had no idea Hoover had so many great parks tucked away in neighborhoods. I loved seeing the Mommy or Daddy Duck with her/his baby duck - Very protective...as is any parent of their baby "duck". She also loves her duckies at bathtime :)) Finally, I included some pictures of Claire's everyday activity of exploring her world in my kitchen and her toy box. She is giving Dora the Explorer a run for her money!
