Happy in the new house

One Year Photo

This was our favorite pose of Claire's one year photos. She wasn't up for standing much, but loved feeling the velvet which made for a cute photo.

Christmas Nimbus

Christmas Nimbus, a sweet 15 year old cat, came with our new house. The previous owner of 318 Jackson didn't think Nimbus could manage a move to Massacheusettes, so we are happy to be his new family. He has really warmed up to us and likes to curl up in Claire's stroller when he gets the chance. Claire loooooooooves Nimbus.

Bath Time and Playing at the Park

Claire and Alexandra take a bath together after playing in the backyard yesterday.

Claire loves to swing.

Grannie and Grandpa

One last photo with Grannie and Grandpa before before they left for Washington last week.

Happy Easter!

We exchanged Easter baskets after breakfast yesterday and Claire opened some presents left by Grannie and Grandpa including some adorable hats, a rotary telephone, and a cute dress in the photos taken after church. We walked to church, but Claire was pretty tired and hungry after the service, so she wouldn't smile for the camera.

Claire tried on her hats throughout the day, but she can be pretty quick to take them off.
Claire's Easter basket looks like a stuffed bunny, so she hugged it and gave it kisses just like the rest of her stuffed animals.

Enjoying our New Home

Grannie Beth and Grandpa Brian just left for the airport a few minutes ago. We really enjoyed their visit and appreciated their help in getting us settled into our new house. Below, Claire is relaxing on our porch swing with Grannie.
Some family photos near the tulips in the back yard. Getting Claire to look towards the camera is not always easy.
