Clare's summer in a nutshell

Clare had many adventures this summer. We started out with a trip to Savannah

We then moved into our new house (we have finally sold our old house! whew!)



Soon after that, we took a road trip to Maryland for Uncle Joe and Aunt Elizabeth's wedding. We were so lucky to get to stay on Elizabeth's parent's farm. That is where Clare fell in love with the peep peeps.




After Maryland, we drove to Chicago and then on to Wisconsin for a fun stay with Papa.


Before we departed for home, we stopped over for a brief stay back in Chicago where we explored many of our favorite places.


After we returned we had a wonderful visit from our pals Andrea, Stella and Laura.




Clare spent the remainder of the summer playing with her friend Suncana, reading, drawing and getting settled in our new house.
