The Sleepover

Every year my family comes up from Texas for the month of July. For the past couple years my little brothers have come and had a sleepover at my house. We (I) make cookies and we stay up late watching the Harry Potter movies. This year Clara woke up at six a.m. and came running out into the living room and woke them all up. They were very patient and sweet and watched Pooh Bear with Clara while I made us all some breakfeast. What sweet uncles!

AAAAUGGHH!!!

I was just sitting there reading a book on the back steps while Clara played in the backyard with Maggie, when I looked up and she had climbed the freakin fence! I screamed, thankfully it didn't startle her enough that she let go!

Best of Friends

Most mornings this summer, as soon as Clara wakes up she asks to go "Ousside?". Of course Maggie follows her. They often cuddle and bask in the sun while I make breakfeast. They are very cute together and I believe Maggie is probably the most patient dog EVER because Clara is still learning how to be gentle....

LAWN CARE

So I realize that it has been a really long time since our last post. I am really impressed by those of you who keep up your blogs so nicely and post every week. If my computer will cooperate tonight (which is not likely) I hope to post enough to catch up for the last couple months.

Sometime in Late May/Early June, John got out the lawn mower to give the lawn a much needed trim, Clara got so excited she started screaming and she ran and hopped on the mower. Made for some cute pictures! (I promise the motor is not running).
