Clare turned 3 on August 13th.
complete with Monster Toast (where you get to paint on bread before toasting it), cake (which was a bit of a fiasco), a "Cartoon Walk" through Fremont's Industrial Park (that's a story all in itself), going to the movie theater for the VERY FIRST TIME, AND getting SICK.
Eating her Monster Toast
Winnie the Pooh was one of the characters on the "Cartoon Walk."
We ended the walk in front of McDonald's,
and that is where the birthday girl decided to have lunch.
The cake, another interesting detail of the day, did not end up the way Mommy planned.
Clare decided to sample it before it was frosted.
Therefore, the 9x13 cake had to be cut down to a 8x8 revision.
She didn't mind the revision.
We decorated the cake for Clare and Lauren
who was celebrating her 18th birthday.

The day went VERY WELL...
until the sweet birthday girl got sick on the way home from the movie theater.
She proceeded to run a temp. of 102 degrees, and she threw up twice. That only slowed her down for a few minutes, and I don't think she'll remember that portion of the day.
At Clare's 3-year appointment, she impressed her doctor with her "concise and clear vocabulary" as well as her "good manners." She weighed 33.2 pounds (50th percentile), and she was 39 inches (90th percentile). That's our girl! :)
Isaac is now 9-months-old, and it's hard to believe that he's been outside the womb longer than he was inside. SLOW DOWN TIME!
He's happy-go-lucky.
He giggles at the littlest things...especially his sister.
He LOVES going for walks with Papa.
He is finally starting to swallow solid food without gagging.
He has seven teeth...with another one on the way.
He's still an army-crawler...but he's FAST and EFFICIENT!
He weighed 22.1 pounds (75th percentile),
and he was 29.5 inches (90th percentile).
That's our boy!

I feel like you need to explain more about the monster toast. What do you paint it with?
Seven teeth, wow! C. is just starting to work on number 5!
Happy birthday Claire!
What a beautiful family!! So much joy and love. I think reading your blogs should be mandatory. People would be happier :)
Look at those curls!!
You forgot to mention the part about Mommy 'ove-acting'. We still love you, Miss First Born!
Wish we could have made it out there! I cannot believe how grown up she looks with her long hair, and curled even! I love it! Your kids are beautiful and growing up so fast!
