Claudia had big fun in Pennsylvania. She really liked eating at Uncle Tyler's restaurant, as you can see. She ate lots of his pasta!


She also had fun going to the park. However, the park was invaded by a bunch of delinquents and Claudia kept her eye on them.
But most of all she liked playing with the horses, dogs, and the tractor! She LOVES riding in the gator. She had big fun with Grammy and Aunt Susannah and can't wait to see them again.

Today we will go to see Grandma Schneider, Aunt Susannah, Uncle Tyler and all the horses, dogs, cats, cows, etc....


But first we have to find where Mommy hid Claudia's nose. As you can see from the picture, there is no question that she took it.

We all went to the Good News Cafe in Woodbury to celebrate vacation. The restaurant is consistently voted one of the best in Connecticut.


Claudia was a very good girl. We were there for over 90 minutes and ate three courses. She ate the whole time....


She is practicing her smiley face a lot.


We also went to the dog park today and to Southford Falls. Busy day!


We spent time at Kettletown the past few days for picnics. Claudia likes it a lot. Abby does as well.


We also went to the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport for Earth Day. Claudia liked the sheep (BAA! BAA! BAA!) and the tiger the best. They also had an Earth Day concert where should could dance. She also got to show off her bear riding skills.

Claudia and I had a wonderful trip to Florida. The weather was great and the time Claudia spent with all her cousins, Aunt Patty, Uncle Marc and Grandma couldn't have been any better. I think Claudia's favorite part of the trip was the POOL! She would swim and jump from the side and loved playing with the toy turtle. She thought eating lunch poolside with her cousins was cool too. Patty and Marc showed us all the good restaurants in Sanibel.
Claudia was sad to see the Shay's leave on Monday but quickly settled into a quiet routine with Grandma and Mommy. We went for a bike ride every morning and then spent most of the day at the pool and beach. We made some nice trips to Captiva and enjoyed some really good meals. Then a bike ride in the afternoon and a beautiful sunset after dinner. We sure had lots of laughs and lots of fun.
Claudia got to see her first alligator too!!!

All the time Claudia spent barefoot really helped her walking. She now officially walks on her own but ohhhh so carefully! She still prefers holding someone's hand but she can do it! I am sure we will post a video soon.

I got a call from Florida and Kasey said that everyone got in fine. Claudia had her flight delayed so she didn't get in until 10:45. Kasey says Claudia was very polite to everyone until the last 10 minutes as they were descending. All the passengers said Claudia was a very good girl.

Claudia leaves for Florida today with Kasey. Daddy has to stay home and work.

Claudia has been cranky but she woke up from a late nap today and was ready to go. She talked on the phone with her Grandma in Pennsylvania for a good ten minutes which is a new record. We have been practicing saying Hi and Bye and Meh-Meh (grammy).

She also spent a lot of time working on her composition. Watch her face. Enjoy.
