Its hard to believe, but Claire is 7 months old!


She can sit up all by herself


The lamby always ends up in interesting positions when Claire sleeps.

Claire loves to spend time outside. She got to hang out in the backyard while Mom and Dad planted flowers this weekend.

Can you find the garden gnome??

Claire loves bedtime! She likes to cuddle with her lamby and read stories.

Claire is eating all kinds of new things! Carrots, peas, prunes, squash and sweet potatoes. She took her time getting started but, so far she hasn't met a food she doesn't like!

I (Megan) met up with good friends for a Drake Univ. Reunion in Des Moines, Iowa. We had a great time visiting the old hangouts. Claire and Aaron stayed with Grandma and Grandpa and I got two whole nights of uninterrupted sleep!

It was a wonderful first Mother's Day. We spent it with my parents at the "Shepard's Harvest Festival". It was a day of all things yarn related- sheep, llamas, alpacas, goats rabbits, and lots of yarn. It filled our knitting fix. Here are some of the wooly friends we met.

She thinks he's pretty neat!
Here they are deep in
conversation.

Its hard to believe... I (Megan) am actually doing something with the blog! We have some catching up to do...

Happy spring! Why don't we ever think of cleaning the gutters until the first big rain of the season??
