Real Men Wear Pink, Give Cheese a Chance. Library and new diapers

first off, no chicken pox! whew! she just had a weird rash that we have no idea where came from and was gone in a couple days. she is trying to get rid of a nasty cough tho! and I just realized I have not taken any pics of Claire in the past week, so I promise to get some tomorrow!

I was given a small box of diapers and clothes for Dustin and I just love this outfit! Its funny, he doesn't look anything like Claire did at this age! I also just realized that I forgot his 3 month teddy bear pic today (three months?!?!) so I'll post both of theirs tomorrow.



Jen gave me a t-shirt years ago that I just couldn't get skinny enough to wear. But I kept it because I loved the embroidery! lol so now, I can enjoy it!


yes I have been making Dustin's diapers. I found a great new pattern from Mosiac Moon and I've made a ton already, including some gifts! here is another from the front and a cute smile!


We have been having a busy couple of weeks, even without the chicken pox scare. Claire is taking a class in drama through the San Diego Junior Theater and LOVING it. Its a 10 week class and the parents get to watch a performance on the last day. The rest of the time tho, Dustin and I enjoy a nice brisk walk through Balboa Park. I need the exercise! lol She is also taking gymnastics and ceramics through the city, which are both 10 weeks also. We both start Daisy Girl Scouts on Monday too. lol We both are looking forward to that. Claire's friend Quora is joining with us, her mom and I are the troop moms. We have 8 girls and are excited but nervous about what we'll do with them! lol

I just realized I do have a recent pic of Claire, from a week and a half ago. We go to library storytime on Thursdays for Claire and she loves it. Well, the library started an infant storytime for "nonwalkers" on Friday mornings, so Dustin has his storytime as well. He really seems to enjoy it! he coos at the pictures and smiles during the songs. His favorite song right now is "Wheels on the Bus"! lol Not wanting to be left out (although there are computers for her to play games on) Claire decided to participate one week, with Cindy.




Ok, storytime in the morning so I have to get to bed now! lol

uh oh

Claire was fine leaving the house yesterday morning to go to her first gymnastics class. Daddy took her from class to Grandma Nancy's house to play for a bit. She came home last night with spots all over! She has a junky cough suddenly too. not much of a fever tho, but the spots LOOK like they are chicken pox! just waiting till this evening to see if they turn into blisters and have new ones pop up! fun fun!

what do you think? She has them mostly on her tummy with a few scattered around her back, legs and feet.

Family, Grandmas, Egg Dyeing and a Haircut

finally!! some new pics from me! We've had a busy couple of weeks. Claire is starting a bunch of new classes this month: Drama through the San Diego Junior Theater, Ceramics and Gymnastics through the City of El Cajon (next town over), and Girl Scouts! yep, she's a Daisy! We start next week, so sometime soon, I'll have pics of her in her uniform. We also do two library storytimes a week, one for Claire and one for Dustin! lol he loves being read to! He also loves when Sister plays with him!


Last week, we had lunch with Baubi (Ron's grandmother) and Grandma Nancy at the Jewish Senior Center. Baubi loved showing off her great grandkids! especially since they are so cute ;)



That same day, we met with our friends and had a little impromptu egg dyeing party. Yes, it was a week after Easter but we did it anyway! lol the kids had a blast! we even hid some plastic ones full of little toys for an egg hunt. This was Claire's first time dyeing eggs and she had a blast! She can't wait to do it again! I guess I have to get my act together next year!!


If you noticed in some previous pictures, Claire's hair changed during this time too. She finally let me cut it! We fight and fight about combing so this is so much easier! and she looks so cute! I put these pics (my two current favorites) this way to try to see what everyone says about Dustin looking like Ron but I just can't see it! lol I hope he does tho!! What do you think?
