Blatter said...: Holy cow! Claire has changed so much! Graham and I watched the movies twice and he was glued to the computer. He would talk after each one. Summer is talking great and she is so cute. I love how in most of your videos of her she tries to stick her finger on the camera. It cracks me up. SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!; January 29, 2010 at 5:41 AM
Lance and Darcie and Auzzy said...: The videos were cute. Sounded like Claire had a few fluffers in her. :) Summer is getting cuter. Gotta love her talking. Just wait until she starts talking back and being sassy. I am going to have to show Austyn when I get back to Idaho. Glad to see you guys are doing well and your maintaining your sanity.; January 29, 2010 at 11:48 AM

Summer, seeing my arm peeling from a sunburn: "Why is it doing that?" Me: "Well, when you sunburn, you just tan. But when I get sunburned, it kills my skin, and then peels off." Summer, worried: "Are you getting very, very old now?" (now in tears) "I don't want you to die!"

Looking in the dishwasher: "I thought there was a black leaf in there, but it's just a craisin!"
