Definitely Dave's

child. I am not claiming her today :)

Kidney beans... up the nose. Of course, I had to take a picture first, then we talked about not sticking things up our nose. But check out those pigtails!

Making Cookies

We made chocolate cookies the other day. I found a new recipe online that was supposed to be chewy soft cookies. Key word is "supposed", they turned out like hockey pucks. Claire likes to help in the kitchen and getting quite good at cracking eggs, adding ingredients and stirring. Oh and taste testing too :)

Snow day and silly faces

We had a rare snowfall in March so played outside for a hour or so rather clean the house before our showing that was scheduled for later that day. My thought was that if we waited and cleaned first the snow would be all gone. It put me a bit behind scheduled and had our day all out of whack but it was fun. 

Claire specifically asked me to take her picture while she made funny faces. Pure goofiness!

Peddle, Peddle, Peddle

Claire has showed little interest over the last two years in learning how to peddle her tricycle. She preferred to have one of us push her. We have tried teaching her how to peddle but the concept of pushing first with the right foot, then the left, seemed to hard and often pushed with both feet at the same time instead. A few weeks ago it clicked and Claire was riding all on her own. Now on to steering :)

Check out that grin. 

For Sale

Our home is for sale. Know anyone looking at buying a house in the country? We've been talking about downsizing for some time, mainly so that I can be home with Claire. It is sad to think that this home that we built will no longer be ours but in the long run it is for the best.
