Xander and Clare

Clare's favorite new trick.




Waiting patiently for Xander's school bus to round the corner
and deposit him right in front of her.


Watching...


She insisted on carrying her "purse" that day.




Xander and I went to Henry's 4th birthday party in Seattle on Saturday.


We had gorgeous weather.


Fun games, great food, and fantastic friends.
We didn't leave for home until well after dark.


See that blur there in the background? That's Xander after five scoops of ice cream.


Xander asked me to take this picture of him pretending to be Ichiro.
