Claire has now been a part of our family for over 2 months. She went to the doctor's on Monday for her first round of vaccinations, and she was weighed and measured. She is now 24 1/4 inches long (she is in the 99th percentile for height) and weighed 1o lbs. 11 ounces. She seems to be doing very well, and we continue to be amazed at all she is able to do. Over the past several weeks, we have had the good fortune of spending a lot of time with family. It started with Ryan's 3rd birthday party. Happy Birthday Ryan! Then we attended Hunter's 6th birthday/Ethan's 2nd birthday party at Uncle Bruce and Aunt Vera's. Last weekend we headed north to Fort Wayne to celebrate Aunt Sheri's birthday and spend some time with Brandon who is home temporarily from Iraq. It was a busy weekend, and Dan even managed to tie for 2nd place in a poker tournament hosted in Brandon's honor. The next couple weekends promise to busy with family as well, and this week we are going to make a trip to Chicago. Dan is attending a workshop, while Claire, my mom, and I will be hitting all the shops on the magnificent mile. I can't wait.
