1 year old pictures by Tiffany

Thank you so much Tiffany, I love them ALL!























Random Fall Photos

Trying to catch up, I've never felt so behind on the blog. Here are some oldie but goodies which take us to present day.

Sweet love in the am with dada.


Yet another birthday present from Dylan in my class, my students are so sweet. It was a mini farm. She loves it. I'm not sure what we're going to do with all these toys! I know what to get her for Christmas though! A box with tissue paper!!

Ivy June, Clara and Julia

It's so funny seeing her "standing around" with the kids

Crazy people. Left to right: Steven, Tiffany, Dave, Corrie, Darren, Andre, and Stacy down front

Merrissa's sweet AJ - I couldn't resist this pic, her outfit, the leaf, I want to gobble her up. The good news is I can in February when they move back to FL...on the other coast. :( But at least they'll be in the Sunshine state!

Dada, no selfies first thing in the am!

Julia, SO cute! Downtown St. Pete - I'm guessing.

Barbie's birthday bash thrown by the 5th grade team, they are so awesome!

Beach clean-up day.

Kissing cousins

Dad! I said no morning selfies!!!

Poor baby in the morning. She thinks it's funny, if you can see her smile under her hair and paci!

Julia is the one drinking from a sippy cup...WHAT?!

Monkey see, monkey do! Thanks Julia. Now the only problem is Clara will only drink from this one cup with the hard top. SO...Tiffany lent it to us, but Julia could probably use it. I've looked everywhere, they don't make this kind. We have 8 others at home she won't drink from.

She walked around with the paper all morning, then climbed up and down and up and down.

Elsa has bare buns, where's the slide?

Brandi shared this with Uncle Andre. When they were visiting Andre didn't understand how she'd be covered in food at the end of the meal. He wipes Clara's face after every bite almost. So Brandi sent us this knowing he'd love it!! We miss you and your messy face sweet girl!

Thursdays with daddy!


Off to the park! Clara had her bday party here and never got to play we were so busy and it was crazy busy that day. The train was running so there were kids galore! This was a nice quiet Thursday morning.



Brrr. Thankfully Elsa is getting some use out of this adorable snowsuit I got from Siobhan. They both look warm in that cold weather!

Clara went to Isaac's school to watch him get an award!

People must look at Tiffy like she's crazy! Thank you Aunt Tiffy!

Way to go Isaac!

Tyler protecting Clara from the ditch I believe.

Clara signing more.

Sometimes more turns into a clap.

This new word is please. Yay, I love new words! Especially manners!





Three little monkeys jumpin in the crib!




Clara and Elsa love their kitties!


Miss trouble city is headed for stairs, Aunt Tiffy has her blocked good!


I need to get a better pic but this outfit is from Lisa. It's a long sweater with leggins. I love it, I want one!

Great American Teach-in

Clara went to work with dada and he got her busy right away!

Aunt Tiffy brought the kids on Friday for a late teach-in. I know she's a darn good dental hygienist but she missed her calling as a teacher!


Pooped from all the fun. She stole the owl from our classroom, I don't think that'll be going back, she loves saying "owl" and "whooo"

Soccer with her cousins

Yet another present from Aunt Becca. It's this cool ball popper, I'll take a video and upload soon. I think Andre and I enjoy it as much as she does.

This lady loves to be stylin with her glasses. She is getting into the entertainment center and found some 3d glasses.

Being a gem and reading her book like a good girl at mommy's appointment.

This is when I know she's too grown up. I set her down for a snack and she didn't need me. Stop growing please my love!
 
Clara and I have been enjoying our Thanksgiving break together, there is nothing more special to me in the world than being with her and watching her learn new things all day. She has been enjoying having the freedom of the house. I've been cleaning and getting the house put back together after company and she loves to walk around and get into everything with me. Shalimar is by far her greatest entertainment. She has been so loving, giving me tons of kisses and hugs. When she stumbles while walking around she'll say, "oops" which sounds like "ops" I don't know why, she has the "oo" sound down. She is doing fab with no paci, except when we run errands and she wants to be on the move. We've been playing lots of music and dancing, and of course reading books! I hope this week never ends!
