Happy Birthday Coach!!!

Well, we survived the first week of Spencer's first clinical! The Coach was off on assignment this past week and so Claire and I had a girls' week. We found lots of things to do...

We went to the library and Claire got to check out her first library book!

Of course, she proceeded to eat it, but I hope that this is just the beginning of lots and lots of library trips. Maybe someday she'll actually like to read the books and look at the pictures instead of chewing them.

We practiced the piano...

We also got things ready for Spencer's birthday, April 30 - which was also the day he got to come home from his clinical. We wrapped his present...

And made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing (mmmmm.....)

And then we just waited...

"Come on already, Daddy! I'm tired of waiting!!!"


And here is Claire's face when she saw her Daddy walk through the door...Priceless.



Here is Claire helping Spencer open his birthday present...


He got a slackline! I'm sure he'll have it mastered in no time!

I'll put up more pictures of the weekend soon. For now, "happy birthday", "welcome home", and "we'll miss you again this week", Coach!!! We love you!!!
