Reptile and Amphibian Day

Today we went to reptile and amphibian day with our friends Westin and Quinn. We had a lot of fun. We got to see baby sea turtles, iguanas, frogs, salamanders and snakes! All of Claire's friends can walk and she still wants to crawl!

Mr. Dane was comparing the weight of Quinn and Claire. Quinn is a year and Claire is only 10 months old but they weight the same.

Quinn was looking at the frogs!

Emily, Claire, Westin and Ms. Sandy were looking at the baby sea turtle.

Claire touched her first snake.  The first one she touched was a tiny one and she kinda pinched it.  This one is a little bigger!

Emily got her face painted like a rainbow butterfly.

We had so much fun with our friends today!



Quick Road Trip to Savannah

We took a quick road trip to Savannah with Jeremy. Jeremy had an account to visit so the girls and I tagged along. It was quite an adventure! When we got to Savannah we settled in and then left our hotel to go to dinner. We were walking to the downtown area and when we arrived it started pouring! We were soaked. A very nice couple gave us their umbrella. The next day Claire, Emily and I took a tour of the Juliette Gordon Low house. Juliette was the founder of the girl scouts. It was a very interesting tour. The tour guide made it very fun for Emily.

After the tour we met daddy and went to lunch and toured the River Street area. Then we drove home.  On the way home we stopped at an IHOP for dinner and our waitress was new on the job.  She spilt milk on Jeremy right away and then when she brought his coffee we discovered that it was not coffee but syrup.  She filled the entire carafe full of syrup! 

Claire is 9 months old!

On February 4th Claire turned 9 months! Time has flown by. She was 21 lbs 5 ounces and 29 1/2 inches long. She is crawling everywhere. She loves to smile and wave at people. We think she said dadda this week and really meant it. She's been saying it awhile when daddy is nowhere around but she woke up on Friday morning and she said it to him! She has a serious side, she likes to study everything. Sometimes she is not so sure about things, she never cries just looks real serious. She loves to laugh, Emily can get her laughing pretty good. She is starting to become a more consistent sleeper at night. We usually get about 5 days where she will sleep though the night and thenshe is up in the middle of the night??? She has her two bottom teeth in. We thought a few weeks ago that her two top ones were going to pop through but they stil haven't.

Daisy Body Talk

Today I went to Daisy Body Talk. I learned about being healthy. You should exercise an hour every single day. I learned that you should not just yank a loose tooth out because it might break off the roots. I was picked to be Captain Clean Teeth. I had to pick people to do activities.

Lost a Tooth!

A few weeks ago Emily finally lost her first tooth. It had been loose since well before Christmas. It finally was wiggly enough. She did not want us to touch it. Daddy said, "let me look." He took a tissue and yanked it out. It happened so fast! She was so excited. She put the tooth under her pillow that night and the tooth fairy left her a big bonus for it being her first tooth ($10.00)! She is very excited because today the tooth next to the big hole is now loose.

Happy New Year!!

Our new years resolution is to keep the blog going and update it more frequently, more than once a year! Our holidays were pretty uneventful. Sickness hit it us at Christmas and didn't leave the house until after the new year. Thankfully now I think that everyone is back to normal. Emily is growing up. She is in first grade! This fall she started taking dance, a jazz and hip hop class. This week she started a musical theater class, they are going to be doing a production of Camp Rock 2.


Claire is getting so big! She has been waving to us for the last month. Her first tooth popped in this week. She is walking tables and trying hard to stand up on her own. She is such a sweet little girl. Jeremy started a new job in August as a outside sales engineer. He is on the road quite a bit and that has taken some getting used to for our family. His job is taking off and he is getting busier. It is exciting to see him being successful in this new adventure in his career. I am still teaching at the same school that I started at when we moved down here 3 1/2 years ago. I can't believe that it has been that long! For Jeremy it is 4 years this month! I teach 4th grade now and I am the leader of Emily's Girl Scout Daisy Troop. It is a lot of work but so much fun! Our family is very busy but we enjoy it(most the time!).
