Mima Visits Texas

Shelly came out for a Fall Visit this past week. She was here for Claire's second Halloween and got into the spirit of the holiday with a fabulous she-devil costume. Since I was terribly out-numbered and the Gator game was televised (but poor FSU did not get coverage!), Claire got dressed up in her UF cheerleading outfit-- don't worry, my fellow FSU alumni-- she has a Nole one too. (Gotta love grandmas... Mom and Shelly were both out shopping, different times, different days, and picked out for Claire their own child's alma mater-- same sizes, too!) We did some shopping, went out for lunch, and had a nice time playing around the house. Shelly was here for the Election Party and got to see Scott's solo in the Requiem concert at church last night. "Scott did a wonderful job!" says the proud wife. I did video-tape it, so hopefully I will soon learn how to download digital footage.

Claire has really been on the go! She loves playing in her new sandbox, in which she was making cakes with her mima. She has also started to climb on things-- chairs, Reese, the dishwasher. I am on my toes now more than ever!
