So much has happened...

So much has changed since I have posted last! The most recent things are:

1) Claire started soccer at the YMCA
Claire loves playing soccer and is actually doing really well. She cares a lot about what she wears to soccer, but once she is there she forgets about her appearance and plays really hard. Here is a picture of her in her soccer clothes and one of her running and kicking the ball.




2) Blake had his tongue surgery and continues being a HAPPY little man.
Blake was tongue-tied so the ENT wanted him to have surgery on his tongue so he can continue progressing with his speech normally, not having to correct it later. He did awesome and came out into recovery with a big smile on his face. He is such a happy little guy!



3) Claire is learning to swim.
Last year Claire took swim lessons and did not love the water much at all. Later in the summer she would swim at our friend's pool pretty well but still did not like splashing. Now she is in a class all by herself (no mom) and she is doing awesome. We are so proud of her--this summer should be a lot of fun at the pool :)



4) Blake got his first haircut.
I have been wanting Blake's hair to be spikey like Brent's so I finally got his hair cut. Now he looks so grown up.



5) Claire had a pedicure.
Not really a pedicure, but she got her nails and toes painted :) Our friend is graduating from college this weekend, so Claire and I took her to get a pedicure and she couldn't leave without her nails painted :)





6) We went to a Cardinal's Game.
This is a fun thing we love to do as a family and we got 4 tickets so it was fun to take the kids too. They loved having room to move around.



Here are some pictures of us from the last couple months...enjoy!
