The Past Month

Clara's cheesy grin.

I must have cooked a good dinner!

Wearing a vintage Smurf shirt that was mine.
Jeff, Susan, and Holden visited over Labor Day for the Balloon Derby. Clara has missed Holden and was giving him a big hug.

How's This for Safety Aunt Jenny?

I got Clara a child seat for my bike this weekend. She loves it! I think Clara is going to get me in shape. We rode for 45 minutes the past two days and when we get home she gets mad when I try and take her out of the seat. Nurse Jenny reminded me of the importance of bike safety, so I purchased a helmet today. The knee and elbow pads were included. Now if Clara will wear the helmet while riding, we'll see tomorrow.

Walking Backwards

Clara walks backwards on command now. She has been able to walk backwards for a while and thinks she is big stuff and claps for herself after walking backwards.

Summertime!

Someone gave us a feed sack full of sweet corn-70 ears! Needless to say this morning was filled with shucking, boiling, and freezing corn. Clara enjoys corn on the cob and sat in her chair and ate an entire ear while I was working. I love the summer and all the fresh fruits and veggies. The other night we had BLT sandwiches, corn on the cob, watermelon, and margaritas--it doesn't get any more summer than that! (Yes that is the color of our countertops, AS SOON AS we sell our house in Liberty we are updating this kitchen!)
