dakota's 2nd birthday

preparing for easter

the white dress

we were given a dress for christmas from my aunt that she had worn years ago (approx. 1943) that was made by her grandmother. here are some pictures of claudia wearing it.

fun with friends

my friend stacy has unlimited sitting fees at olan mills (and then she has some packages deals with it as well). the other afternoon when she was up from TN we thought it would be fun to have the babies get their pictures taken together. here are a few of the daphne and claudia photo shoot. they were hilarious.

this is claudia grabbing daphne's ear.

photo shoot

just testing a photo upload option here....

and it appears to have worked......

rolling over

this is one of my favorite pictures -- she seems so proud of herself and its pretty amazing i was able to catch the smile on camera.

friends

we've been able to spend some times with some friends that have kids around claudia's age. on christmas eve we spent time with the goin's. here is claudia with gwenyth who is a month younger.



we were also able to see the adiar's and spend some time with will. will is two weeks older than claudia. she really enjoys playing with the toys that are different at their house. he has given her the "eye" a few times likely wondering who is hijacking his things.

daphne came over one day as well. she is about 6 weeks younger. they look fairly content here but as the picture taking progressed the irritation of daphne became more evident.
