Nine Months







New year's day marked nine months of fun with Clara. Our little girl officially has two teeth (bottom) with two more working on making their grand appearance (top). She is on the verge of crawling, rolling and tummy scooting to get around. Ben is having fun showing Clara how to play with her Christmas toys and named her doll Baby Sister, so I guess Santa did bring him another baby sister after all...

We started 2009 with some very special people, Phil and Kaitlin, who traveled all the way from Idaho to meet Ben and Clara. It was a week filled with many emotions, all of us felt the absence of baby Grace, but it was also a week filled with love and play. Clara basked in the attention from Aunt Kaitlin, it was the start of an incredible bond they will always share. Together, we began this new year with hope and excitement for a season of sunshine after so much rain.

Shine, shine away.
