Someone is exhausted from digging & beachcombing

Happy Fourth

We got to spend the weekend at the beach. Casey insisted that he be
buried, repeatedly, in the sand.

Happy Fourth

Claire enjoyed her first visit, though she didn't like the wind so much.

We went to see a real live race car at Home Depot on Saturday. Casey was less excited than expected, & Claire was not excited at all. She slept through most of the event until the band of motorcyclists road past, which startled her so much that had she not been strapped in, she mayhave fallen out of the stroller. We were also treated to a demonstration by the fire department--they were taking apart a car to show how they would remove a dashboard to rescue a trapped passenger. I felt ill & did not enjoy that part of the visit. Then he played in his slide pool and inspected the ground for bugs.

Yesterday we ran some errands. I had Casey, Matt had Claire. When we heard a baby crying, Casey was very concerned & said, "Mom, I think that's my baby. We have to find Claire." Then Casey & Matt helped Papa do some work to get ready for his new shed. Casey dug with a little shovel while wearing his Sponge Bob gardening gloves (he likes to help me garden & I finally found kid sized gardening gloves).

I took Casey to school this morning. He had no interest at all in staying home with us today , and barely said goodbye to me when he got into his classroom. He did kiss Claire goodbye though. Then Claire & I went to see Dr. Sue. The girl got her first shots & is doing fabulously.

When she was born she weighed 7lbs 15 oz. Last month she was 10 lbs 5oz. Any guesses how much she weighed today?
