Clara at play

Nothing terribly new to report which, for me, is a relief. After the severe weather, the colds, the flu, teething, sleep problems, the "same-old same-old" is a welcome respite from the near-constant "new/different". Mostly, we've been enjoying lots of play. Clara really likes playing with her Little People doll house, putting orange juice lids into a yogurt container for which Greg cut a slit, and climbing into her toy box where she reigns as Queen of the Toys. She also chases Milosz around the house, dragging her stuffed animals (cat, monkey, bird, rabbit, moose--whichever's handy) behind her. When Milosz is worn out, Clara likes to nuzzle heads, or we practice petting him. He is remarkably good with her

We are looking forward to our upcoming visit to Michigan where we will be celebrating Clara's 1st birthday and Sarah's 30th. Kids today--they grow up way too fast!
