First Haircut

I decided that it was time for Claire to have her first haircut. It has been so hot here and her hair has been growing so fast and I thought it would be good to shorten it up a bit. My sister is an amateur barber ( she cuts my dad's and Lucas' hair) so we asked if she would cut Claire's hair and of course she said yes. So we were armed with a new Veggietales DVD and a bag full of DumDums. She did great and my sister did a great job too. Even Frank's parents got to watch on the web cam and I think they really enjoyed sharing that experience. So now she looks like a big girl and she is constantly saying "sucker?" just to see if we'll give in and hand over the DumDums.


















Quick Visit with Sean and Sarah



Aunt Sarah and Uncle Sean flew back from Rhode Island last week and they planned it so that there layover in Charlotte would be a few hours long. So Claire and I went to the airport and scooped them up for a quick bite to eat. We were a little early for lunch so we stopped and played outside the fountain at the Southpark Mall and then we went to Brixx at Foxcroft. Sean has never had Brixx before and it's one of our favorite places so we thought he would enjoy it. It was brief but we loved seeing them. Claire especially loved seeing Sean. Now we have to look at his pictures everyday on Facebook so Claire can get her fix. I don't think Sarah likes to look at him as much as Claire does. Crazy huh?

Ballet


Claire loves to watch Sesame Street and last week there was a whole show on Ballet. There was one segment where all the characters were wearing tutus, so I ran upstairs and got the one that she wore for her birthday. She was thrilled!! So anyway I took lots of pics and video and I tried to pick the best ones to put on here. Who knows maybe she'll like ballet when she's a little older. (It might help her to slow down and focus a little bit.)

Mario Kart Wii!


Claire loves to "play" Mario Kart with her daddy. Check out this pic!
