Happy Birthday to Clare!

Clare got this new dress from Kari and Bob and the necklace from Grandma Linda. Both made her feel very special!


Clare bear is 5 today. It was a fun day.

I love how lex is growing right into all of Clare's old clothes. this was a favorite and is just so cute on Lex just as it was on Clare



Also, it was so fun to see Calvin in Oliver this weekend. He had a blast!
here are some of the little orphan kids/fagin's gang kids. some are girls but the girls wore wigs to look like boys!

Over the course of preparing for the show (especially the last couple of weeks where we were there a TON) the kids became good buddies!


taking a break in the lobby and reading the program.



The principal said no to a teacher change. so, now we're figuring out what to do next.... I did send Calvin to school Th and Fri and he did great. Maybe now that I've stirred the pot a bit the teacher and principal will be a little more careful with him....

anyway, haven't had a quiet moment in a week. I am going to relax now!
