24 Weeks
Okay so this post is a bit behind, but with moving, Claire's bought with HFMD and Thanksgiving I haven't been taking very many photos.

HFMD
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Its a virus. Very contagious and seen usually in small children. If you are not familiar with it let me just tell you it sucks. Claire came down with HFMD on Wednesday and we have had a rough couple days. Saying its been rough is being kind.
It started with a fever and was followed by blisters in her mouth, sores on her hands and feet and lastly a rash on her elbows and knees. She is miserable! The worst of it is that there is nothing that you can do. It just has to run its course. Mortin for the fever and pain, but thats about it.
Claire has had a hard time eating and drinking due to the blisters. In fact, she refuses to because it hurts so bad. I was very concerned about her being dehydrated, but thankfully Dave picked up some chocolate pediasure on his way home and that has been her diet for the last four days.
Lots of crying and whining with frequent pointing and grunting as a way of communicating, as she refuses to talk. The weirdest part is that she has really bad breath. Of course, we've been snuggling a lot and with pregnant ninja nose it just about does me in every time she breaths through her mouth in my direction.
The potential bright side is that like other viruses, once you have it the chances of you getting again are slim (similiar to chicken pox). Here's hoping Dave and I have already had it.

All Moved
We FINALLY closed on our home and are all moved. It took seven months, several deal killers and it was down to the wire, but we did it. It happened perfectly in God's timing. Thankfully our faith, patience and persistence paid off. Also, a big shout out to all of our friends who helped us move. We had a herd here, making it go quickly and smoothly.
Now I am off to those boxes.

Monies
Claire's school was having a penny drive to help raise money for new playground equipment. I thought it would be a good opportunity to work on sorting skills. The nickels and quarters tripped her up a little, but overall Claire did great and really enjoyed playing with the "monies".
