First Basketball Game

This past Saturday Claire attended her first basketball game! Texas Tech Red Raiders (mom's alum) played the Texas A&M Aggies (dad's alum). We went to the game with Cookie and Papa and had a great time. It was hard to decide what Claire would wear since her parents supported opposing teams, so, Claire sported a neutral pink. The Aggies beat the Red Raiders 79-73, but we enjoyed the game and look forward to going to many more games!

Claire's First Valentine's

Claire celebrated her first Valentines with her Mommy and Daddy. We had a relaxing day that involved playing, napping and of course, a little shopping!

Birthday Celebration!

Claire celebrated her great-grandmother's 86th birthday this past weekend. We had lots of fun! We shopped, napped and ate (strawberry shortcake, YUM!!) with Grandmother while she was here. We are thankful for Grandmother and her good health. We are so glad for the opportunity for both Claire and her great-grandmother to get to know each other!

How time flies!!

Wow, how time flies. Claire turned 8 months old yesterday and Beau and I remain amazed at how quickly the last 8 months have passed. She is such a blessing and reminds us daily of God's love and grace for us. She is so much fun and has discovered how loud she can really get. When she gets excited she shrieks very loudly to let everyone around her know that she is super excited. It is especially interesting when she does this in restaurants or stores!!

These pics are of Claire hanging out at the house with mommy, just having fun. She loved sitting in the box and probably would have sat there longer if I had let her. When she started trying to eat the flap of the box, I thought it was time to get out! We are ready to start February and are excited for Claire's first Valentine's Day.
