Alec’s First Day of School

Alec started going to school one day a week. He was excited the first day. Not as much the second.

He was all ready to go. I hope they teach him how to hold his sign for next year. :)

Claire thought she needed her sheet from the day before to be in the pictures.

100_0775

So sweet

100_0776

and cute.

We didn’t take the camera when we picked him up that day. Probably a good thing. He was happy to see us and a little teary. Poor guy.

Claire is a Kindergartener

And she is ready to learn!

100_0756

Maybe in kindergarten they’ll teach her to look at the camera.

Alec thought he needed to be in the pictures too.

100_0751

Remember, she is still just five.

100_0753

Of course the best pic is blurry.

100_0754

Everyone is excited!

100_0758

Going into class.

100_0760

Alec took Claire’s chair like he was supposed to be there.

100_0762

Hugs and Kisses.

100_0763

One last look.

100_0764

Finished with the first day!

100_0766

Someone was very glad to see her (besides Mommy & Daddy).

Fully Dressed

One of Mommy’s favorite movies as a kid was “Annie”. And one of the songs “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile” is true for both Claire and Alec. But for Alec, it seems you are never fully dressed until the meal you are eating is all over you too.

Robin Hood & Maid Marian

Uncle Lance and Auntie Beth got to hop across the pond for vacation and brought back some fun things for the Claire and Alec.

100_0730

Maid Marian liked her flowers, purse and sword.

100_0732

Robin Hood wasn’t very “merry”.

100_0737

Claire like the swords a lot.

100_0738

Robin Hood preferred his thumb.

100_0739

The best pic I could get of the two of them.

100_0740

But I had to show the one that showed the boots. They made the outfit.

Thank you, Auntie Lance and Uncle Beth! You’ll have to come and be their band of Merry Man and Woman.

Birthday Celebrating Continued

Claire was a very loved girlie on her birthday. Here are some shots of her opening her presents. We didn’t get them all but we got quite a few!

Happy Birthday, Claire!
