Another Visit to VW

Chris and Clara went to the Cole Brother's Circus and then stopped by the office to check out the new cars and visit Max. Clara started with the New Beetle Convertible. She soon moved on to the hottest sports cars - the Audi R8 (featured in the movie Ironman) and a lamborghini. She already looks so comfortable behind the wheel!

Mother's Day 2009

We celebrated Mother's Day in New Jersey with a wonderful breakfast and then a superb afternoon picnic at the Bisignano's beautiful home. Clara loved the large grassy area for playing "Gingerman Tag," the waterfall and outdoor seating was so nice, and she even dipped her toes in the cold lake water. We could not have asked for better weather, but maybe a little less pollen!

An afternoon for T-ball

Clara had fun playing t-ball with her new set from grandmom and grandpop while we were in NJ for Mother's Day weekend.

Planting and Park Fun with Grandmom

Chris took Clara to NJ for a visit while Mommy helped Grandma Pretz host Katie's Bridal SHower

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter morning at home before heading to Mass and joining the family for brunch. The Easter bunny brought Clara a play-doh set, the Hi-Ho Cherry-o game, and a hello Kitty clipboard for her drawing. The most fun was the egg hunt in Grandma's front yard. Clara was so excited to find each one. When she thought she had found them all, she said "I need more." She would gasp in delight and run over to the next egg she spotted. We enjoyed the weekend so much! Jessie joined us for Sunday brunch; and Joanie was home and got engaged to Cecil Johnson on Monday night! Uncle Mark was Clara's buddy for the weekend and kept her delightfully entertained.
