Ma, Bob, Carol & Play Doh!

Last weekend, Ma & Bob (Robert's grandparents) came down for the weekend from Arlington, and Aunt Carol was able to come from Corpus for a visit.

Ma and Bob arrived Friday evening, and Ma surprised Claire with some homemade play doh. She couldn't wait to get started!

We managed to hold her off until the next morning, and she loved rolling it out with Ma and making shapes with the cookie cutters.

We met Carol for lunch and some frozen yogurt, and spent the rest of the day at the house. Claire struggled to go down for a nap (too much excitement!), but finally rested for awhile and then got in some good cuddle time with Aunt Carol after she got up. Aunt Carol and Uncle Jeremy are expecting a baby girl, due mid-January. Carol and I had a good time talking about baby stuff and sharing our pregnancy experiences - I love that Baby L2 and Grace will be so close in age!

After church on Sunday, we took a few family photos and relaxed before Carol had to head back to Corpus.

Bob got a couple of photos of Claire and I with some of our regular rituals:

Reading the weekend paper while Mommy enjoys a little coffee (Claire likes to show me the toys and cars that she wants - lots of pointing and "Mine? For me? Mine!")

The daily hair battle

We all had a great time, and Claire especially loved being the center of attention all weekend. We let her enjoy it - she won't be the baby of the family for much longer!
