"Come live with me and be my love,/ And we will all the pleasures prove,/ That valleys, groves, hills and fields,/ Woods or steepy mountains yields." --Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

A Sad Goodbye

After a luxurious, month-long visit with Nate's mom (Nema), we had to say goodbye yesterday when she flew home to Massachusetts. We all loved having her just down the road--Claire had lots of great activities with her; we had some wonderful shared meals at local restaurants; and Nate and I had some extra couple time. Claire's still asking me if Nema is going to pick her up and telling me she misses her! Here area few scenes from the past month's activities.
Dancing to some country music at the Wild West Winterfest.
Claire walked around the Winterfest for awhile like this...just knowing she's too cute for words.
Nema and Claire had a weekly outing and Art Class at the Bozeman Children's Museum.
Claire also got to try her hand at a ballet class for toddlers. She loved it, and I think I'll try to get her into some summer sessions, though I know nothing about ballet (Help, Tia!).

Last Sunday we took a family walk down the road from our house. With the mild temps of the last month, we're in high mud season. Despite this, Claire insists on wearing a "beautiful dress" for the hike.
Nema herself! We miss you!!
