I really sick.

Man, I just lost the entire thing I wrote about Jack. eeehhhhhhh (whining). I can't write a whole thing about Claire and then not write one about Pipper. Darn... ok then... where was I...

Little man is still obsessed with baseball. We aren't officially ready to call him a southpaw yet. But if he is still cramming his glove on the wrong hand and throwing lefty. We may need to special order a glove for him from the man in the red suit.

Jack has been sick all weekend. He reminds us every 30-odd seconds that "I really sick [insert parent name]." I'm just taking a break until it is my turn in the trenches.

School is going really well for him and so is his speech therapy. His teacher is slowly going from "Mrs Leak" to her actualy name, Mrs. Fleak. We had to focus on "F" words last week. Yep, we both reacted like juveniles to that as well and got a little giggle out of it. Tired, must go. Enjoy his first day of school pictures, the only thing larger than his backpack is his head.

Claire- brought to you by Oreo

Took the kids to a ball game, Claire's first. She was really just into her
adoring fans and the Food. She is our little eater, whereas Jack continues to see exactly how little he can eat and continue his rapid growth.

It has been quite a while since I updated the blog,before I know it the dizzying spiral towards the holidays will begin and I will be seriously behind. Claire is a busy, busy girl. She loves her "woobie", her "Nanny" (Nana Brinda), the puppies, and tormenting her brother. If he is doing something she wants to try it, if he is eating something she wants half, if he is sitting somewhere then he'd better move over.

When we went up north to sift through decades of life at Jeremy's family home, preparing to put it on the market, we came across Jeremy's beloved (albeit CREEPY) monkey "George" that he loved as a child. Like father like daughter.

The two are no longer content to share an arm chair, so Claire has her own now. We let them sit at their little bistro table and watch cartoons in the morning over breakfast- Smurfs being their favorite.

She is saying more and more every day. She can hardly say anything and she already is one of the funniest people I know, better buckle up I suppose.

Claire discovered the Oreo cookie last week and my oh my does she love it!! She is an "opener". She opens the cookie and licks off the frosting, then finishes off the cookie. These being the orange frosted ones for Halloween.
