Thanks for stopping by and peering into our fun little life.

Lucky for us, Miss Clara loves to sleep. This girl can, and has, slept pretty much everywhere. This week, she has slept through the night three times! That’s great timing with Lauren already back at work part-time and going full-time in June. Thanks, Clara!

We have started to experiment with girly headwear around here. As you can see, we’ve mattered both the flower (which also can double as an eyepatch after a particularly active playtime!), and what Zac has dubbed the “Aunt Jemima,” a style homemade by yours truly.

It’s a chilly, rainy day in Tulsa - Perfect for a nap time cuddle with my darling girl. I’m trying to soak up these sweet baby moments since she is growing so fast!

Clara loves Saturday morning playtime with her dad! She even giggled a little bit, for the first time!

This weekend wasn’t without its low points for Zac. Zac sprained his ankle pretty badly on Saturday morning while finishing up some yard work (see nasty photo of his hobbit foot above). This resulted in his having to hobble through the wedding festivities with a cane. But on the bright side, it gave Zac an excuse for extra cuddle time on the couch with Clara (see photo, taken just after the injury), and we learned that a cane is a super-stylish accessory and Zac can rock it with the best of ‘em. He actually got compliments on it! Go figure.
We also learned that the University of Arkansas is apparently not Clara’s favorite. Sorry Zac. (Michigan, on the other hand, received high marks as she rolled over for the first time while wearing her U of M jersey… Rice and OU have yet to be tested.)

Since Baba was in town for Ayschia’s wedding, we had the joy of having four generations of Annes (Barbara, Nancy, Lauren, and Clara) together on Mother’s Day weekend. It was so special. Baba and Mom both gave me the same Mother’s Day card, even though they shopped for them separately in different states! I guess great minds think alike, because it was the perfect card. I love you, Baba and Mom, and I’m so thankful for the example of motherhood that you have set for me!

Great-grandma Baba came for a visit today and we made a birthday cake for Nana. Right before she arrived at the house, I realized that we only had one egg, but the recipe called for three. We decided that I would run up the street to get some eggs and Baba would stay home with Clara, who was wide awake and happily swinging. As I was walking out the door, Baba pulled a chair up in front of Clara and said, “Alright, I’m gonna talk and you’re gonna listen.” When I returned a few minutes later, Baba was still talking and Clara was still listening! I guess Zac’s prayer that Clara would be an obedient child has been answered!
