Easter


claire found her basket.



one lucky kiddo!


we are working on smiling on command. now we'll move to differentiating cheesy from pretty. my work is never done.



claire received her first Easter basket this morning. growing up, the easter bunny always hid our baskets, so i decided to keep the tradition going. although claire didn't quite get the idea until her basket was found, i imagine she will feel the same anticipation and excitement as i felt as young child. we don't give claire candy often. in fact, next to never, so we were especially happy when the easter bunny took our wishes into consideration. claire was brought a basket full of elmo toys. she was happy. another tradition i am continuing is the annual hunt for the easter dress. my sisters and i got a new easter dress each year. we found claire's dress at target of all places. love that store! she looked adorable and was a highlight at church. the rest of our day was spent relaxing as a family. we went to church and came home to dine on green beans, ham and scalloped potatoes. yummy! we had planned on doing an easter egg hunt, but it was too cold outside (40's!!) and quite frankly, chris and i were too tired. it was a nice, relaxing easter.

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
