I apologize for my recent blog neglect. We've had a busy few weeks!
My dad visited Florida and had some one-on-one time in "Clareville" (his name for the grandbaby-induced bliss that he experiences with Clare). They read LOTS of books.
Clare helped Grandpa read the paper...
...and he taught her not to touch the sports page
until he had finished it.
They rode the carousel.
They ate pie.
And they PLAYED, PLAYED, PLAYED!!!
Grandpa took Clare to the park for HOURS every day.
Literally HOURS!!!
My dad also treated us to some fun meals, date nights,
and ice cream galore!
(Anyone who knows my dad or me knows what's wrong with the picture below.)
My mom joined the fun a week after my dad,
and then Clare had 2 BFF's.
We had Thanksgiving dinner a few days early, and we celebrated with "Grandpa and Grandma" Treinen.
When they were here, Clare had 4 BFF's.
We are blessed to have such amazing family.
I had a REALLY hard time when they left, and Clare literally walked around the house looking for her buddies. The distance is hard, but we know that we will see them again soon.

What? You mean your dad doesn't like vegetables?! Looks like you guys had lots of fun- Clareville, that cracks me up. I can see how it would be hard after they left! You will be in Michigan soon enough though.
What a fun time is was with such a great family.
Can I be Clare's BNF? Best Ninnie Forever?
Awesome blog!! Your family is so wonderful and it's great to see how much you cherish them. It's hard being far away but it almost makes time together sweeter because it's extra special. : )
