A big weekend!

We have been on the go go go for the last week so we have a lot to blog about! Claire and I are finally getting each other figured out and seem to have conquered the food situation. She is growing like a weed! On July 10th she weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces (just 2 ounces more than her birth weight a month earlier). Trever weighed her on the bathroom scale and she weighed 10 pounds! We don't take her back to the doctor for a couple of weeks but I'll be anxious to see what she weighs at her 2 month apointment.



Here is the last week or so in pictures!


Everyone told us that our romantic meal at the hospital would be the last quiet meal we had together. They were right! Somebody else seems to be hungry every time we sit down for dinner. She was really eyeing up some terriyake (sp) pork loin that "Aunt" Amy made for us.

On Friday, Trever took the day off and Claire attended her first Iroquois County Fair and her first cattle show outside of the womb. She got to meet lots of people and was a very good girl the entire day!


Friday night Trever had to go practice for "Aunt" Nicole & "Uncle" Kevin's wedding. Trever was a "bridesman" and escorted Megan the "groomsmaid" down the aisle.

Saturday we went back to the fair. We got to see Cousin Kelly and Uncle Russ ride their horses. Claire and Gammy Kuipers got their picture taken with Kelly and her horse before the race.

After the fair we hurried home and got prettied up for the wedding. Claire slept through the hairspray and perfume in the room with all the girls getting ready and woke up just in time for the wedding. Luckily she was well behaved during the ceremony.

Mr. & Mrs. Kevin & Nicole Wiltz!

After the wedding we sent Claire to Gammy & Papa Kuipers house so that we could have a little fun. Trever was having a good time with his girls...April, Nicole and Molly!

After a late late night Saturday night, Claire decided she didn't want to be a very good sleeper for us. It could have been that she slept most of the day. But we still made it up and to church. We came home and took naps before heading to LeRoy so Claire could meet her Great Aunt Carol. She made Claire a wonderful quilt that matches her room perfectly.

This week has been a little calmer during the day. The nights are keeping us on the road though. We are back in the search for a new day care provider but we will be meeting with a lady in Piper City tonight. Keep your fingers crossed that it works out!
