Apparently, this was a Patrick/Claire week.

Day 2 of riding and already a pro.
And, yes, that is a fancy dress - actually her flower girl dress from my sister’s wedding 2 years a go.

I got a new phone 2 weeks ago, so I thought I’d try out the camera. All of these were taken w/ my new iPhone camera.

Can you tell this kid LOVES penguins? What kind of a mom would I be if I didn’t force the kid to pet the damn penguin? That’s right, a pushover. No way, kid. You WILL PET THE DAMN PENGUIN.

SMILES!

Two other things to note: my smile for the camera, and the poor penguin wrangler’s face.

Classics.

Mmmmmm…

Big ups to Lotus for running every Sunday. Shower Show her some lovin and stop by her place. If you haven’t already, crawl out from under your blog rock and go.

This picture of Anna gave me chills when I saw it scroll by on my computer. Today seemed like a breakthrough day for her. She’s recently been diagnosed-ish with anxiety and will soon begin receiving therapy.

But today at her 4yo birthday party, she was the happiest, friendliest, and most outgoing I’ve EVER seen her. It was a solid 1.5 hours of extreme happiness - Patrick thought her head was going to explode. This picture captures the epitome of how she felt today.

Sorry for the small un-doctored pics this week. Frickity fricking file I uploaded them from was the wrong pic file, and I’m not about to re-upload them. Suck it.
