Catherine at Grammy & Poppy's house (June 2008)

Aaron enjoyed taking pictures on Poppy's new camera. This picture is so sweet of Catherine looking out the window.

Catherine is proud to walk in Grammy's shoes!! :)

Smelling the flowers.

Weekend at Grammy & Poppy's House! (June 2008)

Catherine enjoyed playing on the little playground with Poppy. Whenever she would go down the slide, her hair would stand straight up! :)

Catherine and Poppy

Catherine loves her Aunt Ashley!

Grammy in her natural element -- holding a baby! Claire is so happy to be in her arms!!
We're so blessed to have such a wonderful family!!!

Life with Claire (June 2008)

Claire playing with her musical toy.

Of course, Catherine wanted to join in on the fun. Wherever Claire is, you can be sure to find Catherine (unless Claire protected in her room by the baby gate at the door!)

Claire's first bath in the baby bath tub!!! Mommy has some extra help with bathtime. Catherine likes to show Claire how to splash and she always makes sure she has her rubber ducky!

One afternoon as I was nursing Claire, Catherine was playing with stickers. She proceeded to put stickers up and down Claire's arms! :) Catherine wanted to share with her. "Here you go, Claire!" she would say. :) Don't worry, I made sure I removed all of the stickers.

Catherine & Claire! June 2008

Our adorable daughters!
Catherine (almost 2 in these pictures)
Claire (one week old in these pictures)

It's a shame they can't both be happy at the same time in these pictures! :)

We're so proud of our girls -- even when they cross their eyes!! :) hee hee hee!!!

Catherine (June 2008)

Catherine loved all the personal attention she got from Grandma during her week+ visit!

Catherine LOVES the water table that Grandma and Granddaddy gave her as an early birthday present. She loves to dump water down her shirt and onto the deck and on her feet and basically anywhere! :)

Catherine running and showing off her whale pajamas. It's amazing to me how much energy she has!!!

Our little "Yoda," as Aaron calls her. After her bath, she wears her hooded towel and walks around. She looks like a mini-"Yoda!"--but much cuter, of course!

Slip-n-sliding in the backyard! (June 2008)

Aaron set up this home-made slip-n-slide in our huge backyard (the part beyond the privacy fence, for those who are familiar with our yard). He would push the kids down the slide, which was covered in water. Catherine loved it the first day they did it. She wasn't as interested the second time he set it up.

What a sweet Daddy-- giving Catherine a ride down the slide! :)

Our niece, Alex, going down the slide.

Will, our nephew, on his way down.

Sisters (June 2008)

From the moment they met, they've loved each other. Catherine couldn't be happier! Claire just hopes to survive all of Catherine's big hugs and kisses!

1st Days at Home (June 2008)

Our family -- just a few minutes after we arrived home with Claire!

Sweet baby Claire sleeping in her bed.

Catherine peeking in at Claire in her bed -- this is one of Catherine's favorite things to do first thing in the morning.

Claire wrapped up in the duck-hooded towel after her first sponge bath at home!
