Updated Beach Trip

What should every doctor prescribe for new parents? You guessed it...a trip to the beach. On Wednesday, we left Knoxville headed to Panama City. I was really nervous about flying with Claire, but she was such a trooper. She didn't mind the flights at all.

Claire had a lot of "firsts" while we were on vacation.

1. She flew on an airplane.

2. She went swimming. (and LOVED it!!)

3. She stuck her feet in the ocean. (she wasn't fond of the sand, but she loved to nap under the umbrella on the beach)

Our trip was so relaxing! We rode on a golf cart every day to the beach or the pool. Claire played and napped with Papa, Mimi, and Aunt Amanda. We ate lots of yummy seafood and "grill master Harry" cooked us a delicious dinner one night. So to sum it all up...we had a BLAST!!

Please pray for my dad, Claire's Papa Mark. He started having chest pains early this morning and is at Germantown Methodist. We wish we could be there with him!

Claire's Big Week

Press Play to watch Claire in action.

This is Claire's second day of rolling over. (from her back to her tummy) Now that she has gotten the hang of it, she wants to roll over all the time.

We had a great time this past weekend with the family. Easter was a very special day. We were so glad so much of our family showed their love and support by attending Claire's baptism. Stay tuned for pictures from the beach!

New pictures

The pictures Shandy took this past week are up at www.claired.shutterfly.com. We will be heading to Collierville on Friday for Easter weekend. We can't wait to see our family!! Also, Claire will be baptized on Easter Sunday by her Papa. We hope everyone has a great week!

A Much Needed Update

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. We stay so busy with little Claire and work.
We had a great weekend with Amanda. Since Papa Mark was in town for the race, he stopped by as well. We just love visiting with family!
Thanks Amanda for coming to visit and for watching Claire for a few hours so Mommy and Daddy could go out with friends. We had a wonderful night catching up.
Last week Claire had her first illness, the nasty stomach bug. Luckily I was able to stay home with her. Dr. Lin advised us to give her a small amount of Pedialyte so she would stay well hydrated. She loved it!!
Claire is full of laughter these days. Nothing makes me smile bigger than hearing her cute little laugh.
Shandy is taking more pictures today, so check back soon to see the cutest little girl.
