Sand

Clara hates the sand. She refuses to put her feet down when we walk on
the beach.

Beach!!!

On the road

Last night we drove from Austin to baton rouge - a little more than
halfway. We pulled into a hotel around 230 am. All the kids woke up
for a little while but settled back in to sleep pretty quickly...
Except Clara. She was wide awake well after 3. Out of desperation we
turned on the tv. One hundred channels and my darling little girl
wanted to watch Ultimate Fighter.

Are we there yet?

We have been in the car for 15 minutes and Aidan just asked if we are
still in Texas. Gonna be a looooong trip.

Halloween 2009

Clara went as a pink pirate... complete with black eye left over from her birthday party the previous weekend.

Clara had a headband with her costume that we had to put on and/or rearrange on her head dozens of times before starting out for trick or treating... by we, i mean me and dad. We were having creative differences about the way to wear the headband :)
