Dan's Graduation - University of Phoenix

Dan graduated on September 27th! I am so proud of him! Graduation was at the Amway Arena in Orlando.

Claire turns "2"

Gran & Pops gave Claire a beautiful princess lamp for her birthday - she says goodnight to her princesses every night.

Hard to believe we have a 2 year old! We opted not to have a big party this year but rather spend the day at Sea World. We had a ball! We had donuts for breakfast, cake for lunch and cupcakes for dinner – life is good.

Claire is growing up so quickly!! She has a really great imagination…she loves playing store with her cash register and even pretends she’s getting married or “marweed.” We are having so much fun.
Swim lessons are going really well. She is a natural swimmer like her daddy and just loves being in the water.

Baby Daniel is growing and this pregnancy seems to be flying by! We are 25 weeks now and I’m beginning to think he’s trying to come out early as he is constantly kicking!

Claire and Emily

Claire & her cousin Emily discovered how to open the lotion! Need we say more....

No Longer Sleeping in a Crib

Claire finally has a big girl bed. What better way to break in a new bed than by jumping on it.

Claire Learns to Swim

We have enrolled Claire into the Safe Start swimming class. She has only been to 3 sessions and is already swimming under water.

The first time Claire saw Mickey Mouse! I really had no idea she even knew who "he" was.

Sea World

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day at the beach this year! No sunburns or jellyfish stings - which makes it a successful trip.

BIG Day at Disney

Claire's first trip to Disney was exciting...of course, more exciting for mommy & daddy!

Maw and Papa came for dinner

We had a wonderful dinner with Maw and Papa tonight. Papa brought firewood for daddy

A day at the zoo

Claire had her first visit to the zoo! She particularly loved the elephants!

Claire was supposed to be taking a nap! I walked into her room and this is what I found!!

A Colley Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas! Claire is still calling for Santa! No, she did not get a green machine for Christmas...this was her cousin Carson's.
