Thanksgiving Update

Wow, Thanksgiving was a whirlwind of activity. Ryan and I didn't feel like we even got a chance to sit down and relax. It was filled with family, friends, food, and, of course, shopping. It was nice to get to see a lot of our family over the holiday. It had been quite awhile since we had seen some of them. We also got a little bit of Christmas shopping done. Now the rush is on until after Christmas. It seems we have every weekend until then filled with things to do with family and friends. Claire is doing great! We think she may be crawling by Christmas. She is really wanting to get mobile, but she is mostly just scooting backwards right now. She will also probably be pulling herself up pretty soon. Ryan and I think she is working on her first teeth (yes, more than one), but we will have to see. We have thought this before and nothing came of it. I also want to send a big CONGRATULATIONS out to Leigh Ann and Patrick! I just found out they are expecting! How exciting is that! They have wanted this for so long. Leigh Ann, if you are reading this, I am truely thrilled for you!! Well, happy holidays everybody! Hopefully I'll update again soon!

Remodeling the Bathroom

Ryan and I have been working on totally remodeling our bathroom for the past few weeks. We are finally done!!! It is so nice! It was a lot of work though, but it really needed it. We are hoping friends and family can come by and see it soon. You won't even recognize it! Claire is doing great still. We think she may be getting her first tooth. She is also getting closer to being mobile everyday. She scoots backwards, but hasn't gotten the hang of going forward yet. Once she does though, our doggies better watch out! She just loves them! Well, that's all for now!

Well, I know I promised more pictures soon, but there have been some hiccups in the plan. Our laptop at home quit working, so I tried to upload at work. The webmarshall at work blocked me from doing that. So, I thought I would try our desktop computer at home, but it isn't working right either. So, it may be awhile before I can post more pictures unless I find someplace to do it. Sorry about that. Claire is almost 7 months old now! At her 6 month check-up she was 16 lbs. and 25 inches long. She also had to get 6 shots :-( She didn't do too bad though. She is now rolling over in both directions, sitting up on her own, clapping her hands, and babbling! Ryan and I think she will be crawling by Christmas. We'll see. She truely brings joy to our lives!! Until next time.....
