Claire discovered lots of fun times in Grandma's kitchen cabinets and with Grandpa on the rug! Of course, there is always fun to be had when you're the center of attention!
camp, my parents made friends with the Cuban family who own the landscaping company.
Orlando invited us to a pig roast to celebrate the birth of his new grandson, Elijah. Claire had a blast! She tried some pork, black beans, rice and yuca,
Basically, we woke up at about 5:30 am to catch our Friday morning flight and ended up finally getting to my parents' house in Florida at 3:30 am the following day. Claire slept maybe an hour and a half total the entire day. Amazingly, she was in excellent spirits the whole time. She actually thought a whole day of a room full of people excited to play with her and mommy's undivided attention was loads of fun. When we finally got home she crashed, slept hours and took a seven hours worth of naps today. I think she's slowly getting back on her schedule. Thanks so much to all the people who called to check on us! Sorry I ignored some calls and couldn't talk long. I was rationing my cell phone battery.
(My charger was in my checked luggage.)
There will be lots of photos to follow of our time in Florida. In the meantime, I leave you with some photos of my family's renovated fish camp. It's looking beautiful with all the new landscaping.
It's nearly 7:00 and they are expecting that a new plane with be at Roanoke for us to depart at 11:00. Claire has been SUCH a trooper. She's made lots of new friends. Some good news...
She's finally asleep! In the meantime, I'll leave you with a flashback photo of a much happier flight with Claire and David.
Claire loves to Skype her grandparents. She especially loves the audience when we chat with them during mealtime. Of course she's come to expect a round of applause with every bite.
