Claire Goes To Cotillion.....

 Well, we enrolled Claire in this year's Cotillion for 6th graders, and though she was super apprehensive at first, has come out all smiles!  It's 5 weeks and on the final week Lance and I get to attend the dance and dinner with her and all the other students...Should be a blast! We hope this helps her come out of her little shell a bit!!

More to come soon!!!!

Discovering Discovery Park of America!

 Well, I drove Claire and her friend Aniston to Union City Wednesday for a day trip to Union City and the girls had a blast! It was a chilly sunny day, and they just went and went through that museum!  They just soaked it all up! Loved spending the day with these 2 sweet girls!!

Wicked Fun with the Family!!!

We went to Wicked and were fortunate enough to get a backstage tour by Glenda (aka Ginna Claire, who is cousins with our friends the Websters). Claire hanging with Oz and Glenda!

 Yes, I did drag Lance and Jesse to the theater...

Jesse gets a prom date......

Well, Jesse asked his new girlfriend Emily to the prom yesterday,and she of course said yes.  But his creativity cracks me up.  So after her tennis practice at SBA Monday, he walks up to the court with this shirt and sign and asked.  I thought the entire tennis theme was a hoot.  Apparently Lance didn't find it nearly as amusing as Jesse and I did!

Happy 11th Adoption Day Claire!!

Well, Monday we celebrated Claire's 11th Adoption Day!  We thank God every day for bringing this amazing blessing into our lives.  Who knew we'd have a little introverted, cheerleading, golf playing, craft loving, fashionista!!!! But boy we are glad we do!  Because the day fell on a Monday, which happen to be stuffed with homework and studying, we celebrated a little over the weekend, and with her favorite meals on Monday and she brought in warm Krispy Creme to her Religion Class.  Hard to believe it's been 11 years. We love you so much Claire Song!!!!
