Drew, Ashley and Jack are here visiting from Scotland. We have had a great time visiting and can't wait to see them again this week. Anna Claire and Jack haven't seen eachother since they were about 6 months old, but they became fast friends!
We had a great Father's Day this year and surprised Daddy with a few gifts and a great dinner. Anna Claire has mastered the phrase "I dove Daddy." I love Daddy too!
Anna Claire is talking constantly these days! I only catch every other word, but lately she has really started asking me for what she wants and telling me what to do. Ha. She repeats a LOT so we are constantly guarding our language. She now says "Please" and "Gank you" on a regular basis and understand the context. She is recognizing many family members and friends by name and knows the words for many household and common objects. I am amazed on a daily basis!
Here is a recent video clip of her "reading" a book and chatting. It is a bit long... sorry!
Anna Claire entertained herself with hairbows this evening and I had to grab my camera and share. Can you say BOW-HEAD? You will also notice quite a shiner in these photos. In the midst of Caitlin's rehearsal dinner last weekend, Anna Claire had a run-in with a wooden chair and the result was a bruised and swollen eye. Not a fun way to end the party! Thankfully, it doesn't seem to bother her one bit and is healing day by day, but it sure does look painful!
I think you will agree, she is still pretty cute, even with a black eye!
The past several days have been filled with fun and family! Anna Claire's new fave word is "Party." Everything related to a party is "pretty" including shoes and dresses. Ha.
Last Wednesday Uncle Chris arrived and spent the night, then Thursday we greeted Alex and Alex 2 (as AC refers to MB)at the airport and headed to Danville to celebrate Caitlin and Paco's wedding weekend. We had a great time Thursday evening at the Griffin's house, then enjoyed a beautiful bridesmaid luncheon on Friday and a fabulous rehearsal dinner at Honey and Poppy's house Friday evening. While we were in Danville Anna Claire got to visit with her Great Grandmommy and Grandaddy or as she calls him "Dad-Daddy." We had a great time visiting with friends and family from near and far. Saturday we delivered Anna Claire to her Grandmom and Aunt Kelly and she had a great time spending the night with them while Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the wedding and reception. Caitlin was a beautiful bride and we wish the happy couple all of the best!
Sunday we returned home and had a great time at Riley Kate's 1st birthday party! This evening we enjoyed visiting with the Welch fam and I snapped a few shots of Lyla and Anna Claire playing in the bath! I will post pics of the wedding festivus when I receive them... I am relying on Poppy for some shots of AC in her "pretty shoes and pretty dress." Enjoy the fun video of Ac playing with her Dad-daddy and all of the cute pics. More to come!
