Reverse Trick or Treat 2009

Following a few failed attempts at a class photo,

Claire's Montessori class headed over to the

W&L Commons to hand out candy to the students.

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

To Get to the Candy!

As you may remember from last year,

one of our favorite Lexington traditions is the

Downtown Trick-or-Treating.

Claire had a great time sporting

her new "bird hat" and seeing all her friends in costume!

More good press for our sweet, small town.

Thanks, Melissa!

Today our friend Melissa (aka Ben's Mom) kept Claire

for a while so David and I could go to a meeting.

She was incredibly gracious, even though I almost made

her late for work. Sorry, Melissa!

Anyway, here are a few photos

I took at the end of their play date...

Happy Birthday, Uncle Geoff!

Hope you have a hopping good birthday!

P.S. Remember that time you and

Daddy took us to the Safari Park?

Let's do that again soon!

Love,

Claire

Hoos the Cutest

I couldn't resist sharing these photos of

Claire as we were getting ready for school this morning.

Notice she will not separate from her new

whistle (a gift from a school birthday party).

More Fun at School...

Oysterfest 2009

Claire and I headed to Alexandria this weekend

to celebrate Melissa and Geoff's

second annual Oyster Roast.

Yummy!

Unfortunately David couldn't join us since he was

tied up with VMI Parent's Weekend. :(

Despite some rainy weather (and David's absence),

a good time was had by all.

Congrats to Melissa for pulling

off another fabulous party!

Claire especially loved sniffing the sunflowers...

sampling the yummy cheese platter

admiring Cousin T's Wellies

swinging with Pop Pop John...

and Re Nee

watching some football with new friends

sharing cousin T's chair

playing dress up with Pop Pop John

and best of all...

playing Superhero with the soon-to-be birthday boy!

I can't believe how much they have both grown

since last year's Oyster Roast!
