Claudia is starting to do some chores and help out. She likes to set the table and help us organize stuff. This also means we have to discipline her some more as she discovers that it is not OK to play with electricity or other cool things.

Claudia had a fun Memorial Day. She went to the Southbury parade and enjoyed waving at all the marchers.

We also went to Kettletown for a picnic which we have been doing 2-3 times per week. We had fun picking flowers, playing with Abby, and swimming in the river. Click on the flickr link for more photos.

Get a Voki now!

Claudia went to a reception at the library last night. She looked very cute and was a big hit. But then she got kind of cranky and we had to go home. She didn't feel well overnight either.

Her cousin Jack came over to play and go for a long walk. We think Jack likes not being the youngest anymore. Tonight we all go to hear cousin Monique sing at her concert.

Almost forgot this one. Classic. Claudia is in there somewhere.

Remember, you can click on the flickr link on the right (the thing that flashes) and look at additional photos.

Claudia took Mommy and Grandma Keating out for brunch on Mother's Day and they had lots of fun. Claudia ate lots of cake (there was a whole room for desserts). We then went to Lake Quassapaug and bought our first season pass. All the beach, rides, parking, and fun we can handle! Claudia took some rides all by herself.

By the way, I beat her in the Jurrasic Park game.

Go team! Claudia is an excellent walker.

Grandma Schneider arrived from Pennsylvania last night and had dinner with Claudia. We also had visits from Judy Lewis and Gene Banks who brought a nice teddy bear that got a nice big hug from Claudia.

Claudia also came to the track meet on Friday and was watched over by her friends Kara and Melita (and many others). She got a little tired but all in all she did very well, of course.

Claudia can't wait to visit her godmothers in Boston next month. Big fun!

Claudia voted today! She is also starting to work on her garden.
