New ISU Rec Center

I am super impressed with ISU's rec center that has newly opened. Check out the photos: http://isuphoto.smugmug.com/Other/marketing/Rec-Center-Pool/9171395_7snK5#612552820_qnsud It wasn't there when I went there. BUMMER!!!

Visiting with Sharman!

On our way back from Terre Haute a week ago, Saturday, we met my friend Sharman in Brazil, IN for a little visit. Claire was such a good sport all day long! I used to work with Sharman when I was in college. I worked at the Vice President for Student Affairs Office starting my 2nd semester in college until the time I started sub. teaching 3 days a week and taking classes 2 days a week my senior year.

Claire is generally very outgoing once she warms-up to people. She even gave Sharman a good-bye kissy! :) We also visited my friend Debbi, but I forgot to bring my camera in there. Maybe Sharman and/or Deb will come visit Claire and I at our house soon! :)

Partying with Pierce!

Claire had a great time playing on Pierce's new playset that he just got!


Claire is in love with shoes, as she is with other accessories. She will demand these which she calls "yellow" or her pink croc sandals which she calls "Barbie!"

It was a little tricky, but Claire figured out how to press the pedal to make the car go. Claire is also in love with cars. I would love to snag a Power Wheel for her at a garage sale for a good deal. She would love it!

This is Pierce opening his Elmo books from Claire. As you can see, Claire is paying close attention! :)

Claire helped Pierce open a few things. This was good practice for her bday coming up in July. She also enjoyed helping him play with some of his new toys. She also ate an entire scoop of mint-chocolate chip ice cream, which was the first time she'd had that flavor. She loved it! YUMMY!

Claire and I had a good time at Pierce's party! :)
