Lots of Pictures!

We've had a busy few weeks and here are a few pictures to go along with our adventures.

Here's Ryan and I at the LA Galaxy/Vancouver Whitecaps exhibition soccer game. We had tons of fun. It rained a little bit but it only added to the experience. Everytime Beckham even touched the ball the crowd went crazy but the other players were just as exciting to watch. Vancouver won 2-1!

The girls and I had fun with our friend Shauna at Rebekah Hinman's 1st birthday party! The indoor playground was super fun (even though Maddie had a few trips and bumps). Claire's toys were a hit with the other kids.

We had a fun day at the waterpark with the fam. It was one of our first big day trips with Claire's feeding tube and it was so nice. We didn't have to worry about rushing home to feed her lunch - we all just ate while lounging on the fake sand beach in the deck chairs.

Claire's new swimsuit! She looked so grown up and she loved every minute of being in the water.

I just really liked this smiley picture of Claire. She just lights up the room with her smiles and giggles.

We bought a bike trailer for the girls so we can all enjoy rides together. We were worried about how they would be in such close proximity but they were very nice to each other. No injuries or crying and they seemed to really like it. Now we can go on lots of trips together!

Here's some pictures of Claire's organized room. There are a few things to mention - the lump along her bed is a custom made bed bumper that my mom made for her birthday so she wouldn't roll out of bed.

We have tried to surround her with textured surfaces and lights so her room can kind of be a retreat for her. With the help of Val we are building up a bunch of toys that light up so we can create a sensory corner for her. She really enjoys relaxing in her room.

With these hot days, Madeline has enjoyed being in her birthday suit a lot. Here is a picture of her protesting my photographing her in the buff.

However, my mom bought a portable air conditioner for the girls so we have been enjoying the cool air in our normally boiling apartment. It has been a gift from the heavens!

We're looking forward to lots of busy weeks ahead!
