AS I think back on the last 6 months, the most overwhelming thing I feel is grateful, because she is a pure joy to have as a daughter. Truly.
Check out this video of her with her Dad the other night. She's SUCH a happy girl.
I'm blessed to have her. Our family is blessed to have her.
In other news, Lester and I went to Parent Night at the boys' new pre-school (which starts in just 11 days!!)
Among other things, we learned that the school does not want the children using backpacks, but instead wants them to use tote bags, which they provide.
So those adorable little zebra and elephant backpacks I bought? Useless.
See what happens when I stop procrastinating for one second?!
So, now I need to buy lunch bags, instead of backpacks, to keep their snacks in. I started looking last night and it's hard to find what I want. Which is:
- Relatively inexpensive
- Insulated
- Easy to open
- Easy to clean
- Small enough to fit in a tote bag
- Big enough to hold snacks and a thermos
- Kid-cute, but not covered in cartoon characters
I haven't found all that in one spot just yet. But I'll keep looking.
Also, please know that I am focusing on these seemingly-inconsequential things to keep from thinking about the fact that my babies are going to SCHOOL. In 11 days!

Happy 6 months Clair! Love her!
I've been using this lunch bag for Naomi for the past year and a half. It's not exactly kiddo-themed, but it's nice and I use it sometimes for myself. Just throw it in the wash when it gets gross and it fits a ton of stuff, in fact you could probably get away with one for both of them. http://www.amazon.com/BUILT-Gourmet-Getaway-Lunch-Tote/dp/B001P5GJJU/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_c
Happy Birtday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Clair, happy birthday to you.
As you read this think of Jace and I singing cause that's what we were doing as I typed it.
