Coincidence?

So you may or may not have noticed our new blog background. I had decided it was time for a change. While perusing the plethora of available backgrounds this one caught my eye (if you know anything about my history with red and white polka dots this will not surprise you.) However, imagine my delight when I saw that the name of the background was Clara! Coincidence, I think not.

Oh, and I will blog for real once my computer decides to start letting me upload photos again...darn technology!

Holiday Adventures

We went to Nate's company Christmas party. It was a casino theme so we got to show off our mad poker and craps skills.

We spent Christmas in Boise. This is a shot of all the Great-grannkids on the Nelson side, and nobody's crying...it's a miracle!

Nate's favorite gift...the drill was a close second

Princess Ella with her matching baby...I can't wait until Clara's that age! (please ignore the fat cow in the background...)

4 generations!

4 generations again!

Clara's favorite spot. We thought this was a funny shot because she is clearly too big for the sink. She didn't complain, just curled right up and got cozy.

Clara had her 4 month check-up yesterday. She measured in at 15 lbs. 12.5 oz., 27 inches long, adn 17.25 inches around the head. That's the 90th, upper 97th, and upper 97th percentiles respectively. The doctor said she's right on track with her milestones. We think she will roll over any day now. Some of her favorite things at this stage are laughing at daddy, chewing her fingers, holding and shaking her rattle, switching said rattle to the other hand, pulling her shirt or dress up over her face, playing peek a boo. It's amazing how fast she is learning and growing!
