She didn't get this from me

Mommy: You have the best Daddy in the whole world, don't you?
Clara: Yeah.
Mommy: He's a lot of fun, isn't he?
Clara: Yeah, but sometimes he's old.

Update

Jason: Jason's been studying hard and doing well in school. He's adjusting well to the school routine. We are working in the "older kids" nursery at church and had our first day yesterday. We're excited about it...but hopefully it will get easier! He's playing flag football with some guys from church and took a head to the chin last week, but he loves it.

Kristen: I am really enjoying it here. The girls in our ward our so sweet and make me feel so welcome and included. They're wonderful. I'm going to start making a twin-sized quilt for when Clara moves into a big bed. I've gotten all my sewing projects out and am getting motivated again to get my sewing machine out.

Clara: Clara loves it here, too. She loves playing with the kids in our neighborhood and on all the playsets. She always says, "There are playsets in the backyard that I LOVE!" She has decided that she will be Cinderella for Halloween--unless she'll be Tinkerbell. She points out all the leaves changing colors and loves seeing the horses near our house.

Some videos

Before church on Sunday, Clara walked into our bathroom and sang us some beautiful songs, apparently from her Curious George book. She also likes to hold a book and twirl around in circles, while singing a similar song. It makes me laugh. Enjoy!




We sang this birthday song to my dad and she's loved it ever since.




We listen to the Winnie the Pooh CD every single time we ride in the car, and she practically has it memorized. She'll randomly quote different parts of the story throughout the day. She recited the beginning of it for us the other day, and although it's a little muddled and a few words are missing, here's the beginning of the story. I have no idea what she says at the end, which is unusual.

Pooh does his exercised and works up an appetite. "Pooh reaches into his cupboard and hears a buzzing noise. And the only reason for a buzzing noise is there must be a bee. And the only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it!"
