Xander and Clare

Clare with one of her Lego creations.

While the boys traveled to Moses Lake for a baseball tournament, Clare got to dog sit for Rosco.

She also got to go to a friend's birthday party at the Sportsplex.

The one photo in Moses Lake that Michael took. :)

Clare left this card for our neighbor Josh while she dog sat -- the Squalicum High School boys baseball team came in 3rd in the entire state!

Reading in bed.

Reading near her bed.

Another weekend, another baseball tournament -- this one was in Ferndale.

Xander and his old basketball buddy from a couple seasons ago, Isaac. It's really fun to see these two playing together again.

Xander had a couple extra fans in the stands for the first game of the tournament: Josh and Bailey!

 

Watching the end of one game, waiting for their second to start.

Celebrating a big win with Isaac.

Meanwhile, Michael and Clare hiked up to Fragrance Lake.

It wasn't enough that they played baseball together all day; Xander's teammate Jake recently moved into the neighborhood and came over to shoot hoops. (Note adorable neighbor Corwin wearing a kilt!!)

Reading her first chapter book all on her own -- Judy Blume's 'Double Fudge.'

Strong girl.

Another day, another baseball jersey.

They battled hard and ended up getting second place in the Bombs Away Tournament!

Way too cool for school.

I was asked to take an official team photo at our Monroe tournament, to be used for the State Tournament.

Celebrating with some of his teammates after winning game two on Saturday.

Her very first pair of running shoes!

Are you sensing a theme?

Sunglass twins.

Getting ready for her first all-comers track meet at Civic Field.

Trying the long jump.
