Snow in SC!

January 20, 2009: Claire's First Snow
It only lasted 1 day, but we were able to enjoy it because school was closed!

Our Snow Angel

Our second anniversary trip to Charleston!

Labor Day weekend marked our 2nd anniversary. We took a trip to Charleston, SC
with our baby girl, Claire. We had a fantastic time. The weather was beautiful and it was so nice to take our first trip as a family to a place that we love dearly. Usually our dining experiences would be one of the highlights of our trip. Not this time. We had several not-so-good dining experiences, but that didn't overshadow the excitement we felt about being there and enjoying each other.

Claire's already a sun-lover:)

Claire was such a trooper as we walked all over downtown Charleston.

This picture is inside our favorite candy store.

Oyster shells line the way to one of our favorite local spots: Bowan's Island Seafood

It looks like a shack on the water, but the food is delicious.

We tried to eat our dinner on the dock but the mosquitos feasted on us first!

Claire's personality really seemed to emerge this weekend.

We had a lot of fun snapping pictures of our sweet little smiling princess:)

Claire loves being naked!

Claire is 6 weeks old!

The past 6 weeks have been an adventure! Claire has been busy!
1. She got her 1 month shot and she was a trooper! She let out one WAAAHHH and that was it!
2. She has grown more than 2 lbs. since birth.
3. She had some relfux trouble and had to be put on rice cereal and given Axid to help her. She is doing well now.
4. Claire has slept "through the night" (translation: last feeding at 10 and sleeps through the night until 5 two nights and 6 last night!)
5. She went to church for her first Sunday service today.
We are in love with our little angel! We've been tremendously blessed!

Claire's Birthday: July 14, 2008

Claire Marie Moore was born on Monday, July 14 at 4:26 pm. She weighed 6 lbs. and 8 oz. and was 20 inches long. My labor and delivery went very well. I could not have asked for a better nursing staff and doctor to take care of me! It was an excellent experience overall and best of all, we were able to bring the sweetest little girl in the world home with us on Wednesday! We are so happy to be home and are enjoying getting to know this little person that we have fallen so in love with in such a few days!

Thank you all for the emails, phone calls, and visits. We feel very loved and appreciate your excitement and encouragement for us as we begin a new adventure in our lives!

Overwhelmed and excited mom!

Extremely proud daddy!

Crazy (and wonderful) Nurse Joan. She helped me dialate from 6 to 10 in a matter of minutes because of a laughing fit! She was awesome!
