Meeting Madeline

We were able to see Paul & Edith over the holidays. Paul has been one of Seth's best friends over the years. They went to high school together and he was Seth's best man in our wedding. The girls are about a week apart. How cute are the girls & their proud Papa's!

Christmas Day

On Christmas day we drove up to Ballston Spa to visit Seth's parents. We had a great mini-vacation. Movies, monopoly, out to a movie, and out to lunch in Saratoga. My brother, John, was visiting with us and it was great to catch up and relax. We watched our 1st movie out since having Clare, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was nice to make it out and the movie was very touching. I'm still trying to post some of these great pictures from the holidays.

3 month Doctor visit

Clare had her 3 month Doctor visit last week. She's doing really well. Her weight was 14.4 lb (90-95%) and length 25 inches (95-97%). She's liking her fingers (looking at them & sucking them) and has started to reach for things more. She's getting stronger with tummy time. It's amazing how fast she's growing. She had her first few giggles the past few weeks!

Holiday Party

Seth & I made it out together for the first time since Clare has arrived. Family fiends, Dave & Penny, came over to babysit Clare for the evening. Meeting Dave & Penny when we first moved out here made me feel so much more at home. Dave grew up in my hometown, in Washington state, and has continued to be a friend of the family for many years. What a small world! We were out for about 3 hours for Seth's work holiday party. It was nice to go out on a date but I was happy to get home to Clare.
