When I'm Six
Last night Aidan, Clara, Mom and I went swimming. Afterwards, Aidan was wrapped up in a towel and asked to sit in my lap. He and I sat by the pool rocking in a chair. I asked him, "Will you still sit in my lap when you're six?"
"No," he said. "But I'll sit next to you sometimes."
I guess my little boy is growing up but for the next seven days he’s still ok cuddling with me.

Clara makes it better
Last night I caught my fingernail on something and ripped a chunk out of it. My reaction was “OW” and Clara noticed. She reached over and grabbed my finger and kissed it for me. A kiss makes everything better. This little moment made my night.

The kids LOVE the new REI in Round Rock. They had a great time goofing off on this playscape.

Clara made herself comfortable on this stool and had fun pulling books off the shelf and putting them back.

Clara earrings.
Clara just got her ears pierced at the dr office. She's doing fine. Cried but is happy now. James will be ok. The dr said his guilt should go away after a day or two. ;)

Yummmm
Clara hasn't quite mastered licking the bowl yet but it doesn't stop her from trying. Note the oatmeal from forehead to chin. ;)

Two Snacks
Aidan just told me that because the bus was late, he needs two snacks – the bus was 10 minutes late but apparently it’s hard work waiting!
