Clara...what to do.

Clara baby is giving me a run for my money these days. Right now she is screaming up stairs fighting bedtime once again. But we do have our wonderful moments.

She loves to help me make dinner, cookies, or anything else and is always found sitting on the counter helping mom.

On the first day of school Clara and I headed to the beach. It was so much fun to just play in the sand with her.

If I don't get Clara in her car seat fast enough or take her out fast enough she escapes to the front seat where she pretends to drive. She loves to take out every cd, turn my windshield wipers on, turn my brights on, & put the music to the most interesting settings.

Clara is learning patience right now. I couldn't get to her fast enough to take her out of her highchair, so she decided to try herself. Needless to say, she got stuck.

Go Bills!

What a treat we had this past weekend (besides watching conference of course!). Ryan Denney, one of George's college buddies, plays for the Buffalo Bills and they were playing the Miami Dolphins. Just so happens Ryan's brother plays for the dolphins. Ryan graciously offered some tickets and passes to meet up after the game. The seats were incredible! The food not worth the money. But seeing Denney leap over an opponent and sack the quarterback made the food taste like it came from a 4 star restaurant! So great to catch up with Ryan after the game and meet his family. Too bad the Bills lost, but it made a Dolphin fan out of Alex. :)
Never serious...maybe it was the sugar rush from the cotton candy he consumed in less than a minute.

You can always count on Clara to watch some football with her daddy. They have spent many of late nights watching together.

Ryan is on the right end all ready in position to strike.

A family picture with Ryan (Sammy stayed home to play with some friends). Either he is a giant or I am a midget.
