Tonight we tried out one of the new smoothie recipes we tasted at the Vitamix demonstration at the Fair - a green smoothie with grapes, banana, lime, orange, and spinach.  It was delicious - you don't even taste the spinach, so it's a great way to get in some extra veggies.

Will looked so cute stretching on his tip toes to play with the kitchen.  I was so glad I already had the camera out and had taken a few pictures since a few moments later Claire came over and did this:

I feel like it's such a great expression of their relationship - I've gotten a little choked up a couple of times when I look at this photo.  We are so blessed!

Mom, Dad, and Aunt Nancy were here this past weekend, and we put Dad to work building a couple of stepstools for Claire's bathroom (one for the sink and one for the toilet).  Today the paint was done drying so we moved them into her bathroom.  She was so excited to test them out - no more stretching to reach the toothpaste!

We saw a cat in our yard this morning, and I sent Claire to take care of it.  She stands on the edge of the patio and yells "Go away old cat!  Go away!  Go away!"  Really scary.  :)

I made a smoothie with strawberries, raspberries, and spinach (and other stuff). It was the worst brownish/red color, but it tasted so good. Adele drank it and said, "Mmmm, chocolate!" It's my little secret.

I also love the picture of Claire hugging Will. They love each other so much--each of them lights up when the other comes into a room.
Regarding the cat--when we were there the week before, she asked it very politely to get out of her yard, please. "PEEZE, get out of my yard."
