Look Grandpa

At the Butterfly exhibit at Como park - July 2009

Claire and her cousin Madison after a yummy dinner at the galaxy drive
in. Note the family resemblance.

Super Jump

I do not know what a super jump has to do with curing cancer, but
Alley and Claire were glad there was one at the grand opening of the
cancer center.

Finding peace

Claire was having a hard time finding serinity in the new garden at
the cancer center

Alley is her name

Claire seems to say a new word everyday. She has expanded her colors from just yellow - to orange, brown, and pink - red, green, and blue are a little tough for some reason. When she sees something that she knows the name of - she seems to want to show off and yells it.

When you ask her for her name she consistently replies - "Alley". She responds to her name - but apparently can't say it yet and/or identifies herself as part of Alley. She still copies everything that Alley does.

We are looking forward to her 2nd birthday in August - as we are renting a lake cabin for a week. I know she will love the water and digging in the sand.
