We're still here...

Dad, having not seen a blog update in weeks, became worried and had to actually telephone me the other night to check in on us. Yes, we're a little more busy these days. But life is good and we're doing pretty well. Here are a few pictures from life recently. No major events, just stuff. 
Clara was the lucky first in her class to get to bring home the small toy version of her teacher's real black lab, Valley. Valley got to spend the weekend with us and Clara got to write about their adventures in Valley's journal. We know that the kindergarten's teacher's husband is a Hawkeye, so we took this photo to share with them. Valley got dressed for the Hawkeye game. 
 Somehow, when left to their own devices last weekend, the kids decided a fun activity would be to make a 'train' out of the skateboards and to scoot around on their bums. Dory and Ellie went along for the ride with personalized helmets made from 70's era mini Tupperware bowls.
 Last weekend Clara had a friend over to the house. Henry and I took the opportunity to bike to the library for a little mother-son time. He wanted a snack on the way home. After texting Pete to make sure the girls hadn't destroyed the house or eaten each other, we decided to stop at Starbucks for a cookie and a drink.
 Last Sunday was rainy all day. Frederick and I took a nice nap together. Here's the photo I texted to Pete to show him Fritz was trying to wake up. Clara didn't want to be left out.
And now we're less than a week away from Baby's first birthday! How can that be!?!?
