Xander and Clare

Watching the Mariners spring training game in Phoenix that Michael was actually attending.

And spotting Michael in the crowd!

Upside down clothes. I don't know.

Taking a picture to send to Daddy while he was away for work.

Peeking in at Mommy from the preschool playground right before pickup.

With his pal Annabelle right before the Recess Monkey concert.

Clare looked very serious the entire time, while all the other kids danced and screamed
and laughed. She told me later she had fun.

Onstage for the last song.

 

A friend of ours who helps arrange this yearly concert let the kids
look around backstage afterward.

In the green room.


He and his friends even got their picture in the newspaper the next day!

Look at this adorable, sweet, photo of a perfect ange
before moving on to the next couple of shots...

This was Clare pretty much the entire time we were at the high school
gymnasium where Xander was having his baseball pictures taken.

It was so much fun.

Hey, it could have been worse -- we could have been outside in the cold and rain.

This is going to totally look like they're really outside, right?? Totally.

Clare was very relieved to finally be reunited with her big brother.

Growling at circle time.

Being adorable at preschool.

We've had the craziest weather lately.

Poor Miss Clare had to go to urgent care last weekend for a double ear infection.

How did he get this old already?
