This weekend the girls celebrated with their cousin Laila at her first birthday party. They always have fun playing with their cousins who are close in age! We also participated in a special walk with Aunt Mary Jane and Logan - the CROP Hunger Walk. This initiative not only supports individuals in need around the world, but also here in our community as well. Our girls are too young to really understand the importance of this philanthropic activity but over the years we hope to expose them to lots of things until they find their passions in life! Thank you to all of the families who sponsored us on our walk this year: The Hooley's, McNamara's, Brown/Reome's, and Grammie & Pa!
Claire had her one-year check-up this week and is doing great! She weighed in at 20 lbs, 9 oz, and is 29.5 inches long! Her growth is definitely different than Stella's was but both girls are so very different this is really no surprise to us!

Stella decorating a cookie @ the birthday party. I used the words 'paint with your finger' when we were doing the project and then the next day I asked her if she was going to eat her cookie and she said 'no Mom, there's paint on it!'. She reluctantly took a bite after I told her it was frosting. |

Claire slept through most of the CROP Walk but woke up at the end just in time to share a snack with all of the walkers! |
