Family pictures

We had family pictures taken a few weeks ago. I decided to try someone different this time, as it has been frustrating coordinating schedules with our previous photographer. I am not sure that was such a good idea. You can decided for yourself. All I know is that its a good thing Claire is cute.

Our appointment was for 11 o'clock in the morning and it was already 85 degrees. I feel sorry for the people she had scheduled at 3 pm. It was supposed to be 100 degrees that day. If you look at Claire's cheeks you tell that she was getting hot. She was being a stinker too; not wanting to smile, just giving a little grin.

Enjoy!

Claire -vs- tailgate

Last week, on the second day of our move Claire ran full speed into the corner of Dave's tailgate. I saw it happen and it still gives me the shivers to think about it. 

We were loading up the odd and ends from the garage and garden tools; the house was completely empty and we had nothing to clean or bandage it with. Thankfully our neighbors were home and were generous to help us out. A little peroxide, a little neosporin, one butterfly band-aid, one regular band-aid and a dosage of Tylenol and all was well. 



I don't have any pictures of the wound itself, so I will spare you the honor. Claire has done a great job keeping the band-aid on, letting me clean and change the band-aid periodically. It is healing nicely and hopefully wont scar too bad. In hindsight it probably needed a stitch or two. Our first bloody experience is in the books and I am looking forward to repeating it any time soon. 


UPDATE:  Here's a picture of Claire's forehead from yesterday. It looks great!
