On Saturday we had a picnic at the park. Kirk told me I can't call it a picnic though because we brought our grill. So I guess I'll call it a BBQ. And I must say that it was the best BBQ we've had in a while! We had fresh grilled Alaskan Salmon, strawberry spinach salad, a whole grain baguette, sushi rolls, and frozen yogurt popsicles! The popsicles were melting, so we had to eat those first instead of for desert. Luci was just fine with that!
The park we went to is one of Luci's favorites because it has a sandbox. She could play there for hours! It was like pulling teeth to get her to look up for one picture. Notice the fake "let's get this over with" smile.
We let Clara play in the sand too, and she loved it. Of course we had to stop her from eating sand every couple of seconds.
Clara learns so much by watching her sister. I'm glad Luci is a great example to her!
Their Dad is so cute, if I do say so myself!
I pushed Clara in the swing and she loved it! What a doll she is! Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks?
Here is a random picture of Luci playing in a box. Just thought it was cute!
Bean ArtLast week Luci and I decided to do some dried bean art. When we were getting the supplies out Luci saw the glitter and insisted that we use that too. Here are our final products. Can you tell which one is Luci's?
Yes, there are beans under all of the glitter!This is what Luci looked like afterwards.
Toes and Teeth
Clara loves sucking on her toes. That might change though because she just got two teeth on the bottom ! Last week Kirk was letting her chew on his finger when he noticed something sharp. Turns out she got teeth without us noticing. I felt like a bad mom. Like I missed out on a monumental time in her life (I know I'm weird that way). It does explain why she started nursing 2-3 times in the night again though . . .ugh!
TrainingA week and a half ago I went to a town by Hershey to train for my new job. Kirk came a long with the girls so I wouldn't get lost and so I could nurse Clara before and after (she doesn't take the bottle very well). While I was training, Kirk ventured off to Chocolate World with the girls. This was his first time going somewhere with the girls by himself. I have to admit that I was more nervous for him than I was to train for my new job. To my surprise, the girls were great for him, and no one seemed to notice I was gone. In fact when they came to pick me up Clara didn't even want to nurse.
Kirk is such a great Dad! Our girls are so lucky!
My Two Babies
Our friends gave us an exersaucer for Clara. She loves it a lot . . . .
. . . and so does Luci! Naughty bum!
I'm not quite sure why she likes it so much, it doesn't look very comfortable.
Well, that's all for now!

I love all of the pictures!! Seriously Clara looks so much like Luci did at that age. I am so glad I finally get to see her soon. I love that Luci likes to play in the exersaucer Nathan did the same thing when Maelie was little. Inface when Maelie out grew it I gave it away because Nathan would always climb in it and get stuck. Good times.
I think unless you had your fingers in her mouth at least once a day, there's no way you would know about her teething. Cute family, as always.
Luci's smile is so cute! What a cute fam you have. It looks like you guys have been having fun and staying busy. What's your new job? I would love to see you when you come out. We live out in Stansbury Park now; so if you have time give me a call. I know you'll probably be busy with family so if it doesn't work out....it's all good; at least we have the blogs :)
This all looks so much fun! We can't wait to see you guys. Ashlyn loves eating her toes too. It is so funny to watch how anxious she is to get them sometimes.
