We're working on my second week of summer vacation and finding a nice groove. Of course after the first day or two of vacation I feel compelled to make a long "To Do" list or I'd feel at a loss (not sure whether to blame a hyperactive Protestant Work Ethic, Calvinism, or being Type A). I am learning, thanks to Claire, to be okay with a more relaxed schedule. We are taking walks in the morning, scheduling more play dates and outings with my mom's group, reading, AND I still am accomplishing some of the items off my list. We are still having fairly cold weather (45 degrees at around noon today!), so not much in the way of mountain activities, but I've finally planted my annuals and a few vegetable plants (two of six already have become victims of the wind--I'll be happy if we end up with one edible basil leaf at this rate). Claire still isn't walking, but I put her down in the store the other day and several people remarked, "Man, she's fast!" She usually does her high speed crawl while making a kind of droning noise too--at least I know where to follow her! In this picture she's hanging out in the Ergo Baby Carrier. This goes everywhere with us and I recommend it highly to any active parents who hate hauling a stroller around! You can also see some of her developing curls in the longer hair behind her head.
