New Years in Orem :)

New Year's Day after church. Happy 2012!


Claire in her Sunday dress with static electricity hair!


Jack and his playmate, Parley. Parley's a good sport even when he is upside down:)


Meet Mr. Bo-Jangles. He's hard to catch, but doesn't seem to mind sitting on Claire's lap in the high chair:)

Jack loves the train set. We spent a lot of time coupling cars and sending them around the track and through the tunnel!


Parley is so patient with being picked up and hauled around - not a finicky cat at all!



Jack is usually in a good mood, even in his car seat. Claire helps to entertain him.



See that look? "Who me?" We just finished a game of hop down the stairs.



Claire dressed up like Snow White. She has quite a few costumes and has fun dressing up. She is learning to count higher numbers as you can see on the wall. Megan does pre-school with her and she is reading little words and having fun.

It was a fun vacation week for me. I stopped thinking about all my duties back in Galesburg and just enjoyed Megan & Brian's company and playing with Claire and Jack.

OK, so back to work tomorrow:(
Hey, I'm half finished with the year:)
