Balance Practice

Claire practicing her balance at the lake

Look at me

I felt a little more comfortable having Claire in a lifejacket in the swiming pool. She thought I needed one too (it was a little small).

We met Grandpa Alley in Alexandria for a swimming weekend. Claire is pretty cute - she wants to keep "swimming" (me holding her as she paddles and kicks)- she has this nervous laugh the whole time - you are not sure if she is having the time of her life or if she is about to cry.

Sis family fun

Claire always likes bubbles and was entertained not only by her big sister- but her cousins Ashley and Kadee - Virgil's granddaughters at the annual Sis family reunion.

At the drive in

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
