I'm a slacker, house update

Okay I know. I've been slacking on posting these things on my blog. I've had to make 3 posts tonight to catch up on all the things I was planning on putting on here. I don't have an excuse. I haven't been overly busy or anything. I just haven't wanted to sit down and blog. I think with this post I will be all caught up on pics I took to post on here.

Our House is looking more and more like a house. I am so excited to have it be finished and to have our own home again. I think it will be like christmas getting all our stuff out of storage. We'll have forgotten what it all looked like. They put the insulation in our home this last week and should start sheet rocking this week. We talked to our realtor last week and they are estimating about 6 more weeks till we are finished. Keep your fingers crossed.

4th of July

We had a great 4th. We went swimming with my family. (Claire thinks she is a fish) Then we had a BBQ. We wanted Claire to go to the fireworks with us. Since it is way past her bedtime we made her nap late and stay up for them. She was mesmerized by them. She kept saying "WOW WOW WOW" and "Whats that?" During the finale she was a little nervous. She sunk into Mark's lap and grabbed his arm. She looked a little frightened. I guess it was just too much noise. It was a fun evening. Today was a little difficult, because Claire was grumpy from lack of sleep. Here is a pic of Claire in her 4th of July jammies I sewed for her. She was playing with the Glow bracelets Grandma and Grandpa Robins got for her. She loved those. I think she stole all the other babies braclets, because we ended up with a lot more than the 12 that came in her package.

Just like Dada

Claire is becoming more and more of a Daddy's girl. She just loves her Dada. First thing she asks in the morning is "Where Dada?" I tell her he is at work, but this is just not a good enough answer. I spend the rest of the day explaining that Dada is at work and will be home soon. From the moment he walks in the door she wants to go everywhere he goes and do everything he does. Mark has been playing his trumpet a lot lately. Something Claire loves. The second she hears the trumpet she is drawn to it, like a moth to light. She just can't stay away. She'll then proceed to hover around Mark. Pulling down his sheet music, dancing to the tunes, and grabbing at his pant leg. All in an effort to be allowed to blow into the trumpet. She doesn't make any sound, but she thinks it is the coolest thing ever. Well in an attempt to allow Mark to play uninterrupted we bought her a Kazoo. She thinks it is awesome. When Mark starts playing his trumpet, she will go get her "baby trumpet" and play as well. Then she will proceed to squeal and stomp her feet in delight. I hope some day she loves me as much as she loves Dada.
