Meg, Nadia, Gia, Claire, Kenna and Mitch on the train.
This was a miniature pioneer village that the kids loved! We had to drag them out of there when it was time to go.
Mitchell in heaven! He always has loved trains.
The girls on the prowl for poor, unsuspecting baby lambs.
Kenna got one long enough to grab a picture with it.
Giavana found some.
Claire on "her" pony. She didn't want me getting too close to it. :)
They had an old fashioned mid 1800's school house complete with a live teacher! She instructed the "pupils" for a time and then allowed questions. She was very formal in her speech and pretty strict. She stayed in character the entire time. The kids got a kick out of her.
This was a little photo shoot Kenna and Meg did with Claire. She was a good sport and a spirited little model. :) They had her wear their tank tops and then they gathered the excess fabric in the back with an elastic. Why didn't they have her wear her own clothes, I wondered? But then that would be too easy. Also, you gotta love Claire's bed head. I guess the girls were going for the messy runway look.
Mitch and Claire the morning of her B-day.
Claire turns 2! We had Grandma Cynthia and Grandpa come over for her party. She is soooo into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse right now. And...it's all about Minnie!
My Grandpa Furness turned 98 in June! It was so neat to be able to celebrate with him and with Aunts Mary, and Martha, and Uncles Roger and Wayne. Amber and her kids were here visiting from Georgia so we all made him a cake and had fun helping him blow out the candles!
Here are all the kids crowded around his kitchen table.
