Washington Day 1 pics

These aren’t all that exciting, but here are the first day pictures. We had a wonderful meal last night at McCormick and Schmick’s with some of the folks from the Fresno Council of Government. It’s a really fun group, and I think they’ll make this a very enjoyable and productive trip.

Today (Sunday), we have an almost entirely free day to do sightseeing. Should be fun!

New Liam/Clara pictures

Clara is now three weeks old. She opens her eyes a lot more these days and holds her head up well. Liam is adjusting well to having a little sister, and loves to say hi to Clara. He sometimes calls her ‘pretty girl’, which he learned from Daddy. He likes to hold her hand.

Liam’s favorite activities:

  • Playing the drums (He calls himself ‘nummer boy’)
  • Entertaining people. He’ll do anything for a laugh.
  • Riding his new scooter. He’s not very fast yet, and we’re thankful for that.
  • Playing with little people (whom he calls baby people).

Clara’s favorite activities:

  • Pooping
  • Grunting
  • Eating
  • Sleeping
  • Pooping (yes, she does it so much that it deserves both spots on this list)
  • Laying on her tummy

Clara’s One-Week Pictures

Clara is opening her eyes a little more these days. We took today (mostly) off work to spend time together as a family. We did, however, spend a little time in the studio making Clara’s one-week portraits. I’m happy to report that she, like her brother before her, does very well in front of the camera. Enjoy her first official portraits!
With love and pride,
Andrew + Lisa

Clara Marie: the Saga Continues

OK, friends, I’ve bowed to the pressure from all sides to keep posting pictures of my lovely daughter on the blog. If you want me to keep them coming, leave comments to let me know that. If I don’t hear from you, I’ll go back to posting about razors. Enjoy!

Clara pictures 2 – Update!

Here are a few more pictures of little Clara Marie! Many people have asked to see Liam and Clara together, and as they’re two of the brightest lights in my world, I’m happy to comply. Thank you all so much for your expressions of love, support and help. Pies are never turned down! Enjoy the photos!
