Daddy's Helper

We are working like crazy to transform our laundry/junk room, that has needed a makeover since we bought our house 5 years ago, into a laundry/sewing/guest room. We accomplished a lot but still have a little ways to go. Today, we moved one step closer - tile went down under the washer/dryer section. Clara was fascinated by the process and was "helping" Daddy the whole time - from cleaning the floor after we moved the washer and dryer, to measuring, to marking the hardibacker board, to drilling in the screws, she was his little shadow. When she woke up from her nap she was crushed that Daddy and his friend Scotty had put the tile down without her while she was sleeping. But she's excited, because when she saw Daddy sawing and wanted to saw too, he promised her they would build a birdhouse together in the spring and she could help saw for that. This girl loves working with her Daddy!


Tonight we had a leadership and families Christmas party at church and Clara had a blast with her friend Callan. They are only 8 days apart in age and they love to run around and be silly together. Clara really wanted to give Callan lots of hugs tonight and kept trying. Callan wasn't so sure about that but wanted to give Clara eskimo kisses, which she wasn't so sure about. It was so funny to watch them together and they had a great time. We are so excited because Callan's mommy is quitting her job at the end of this month and we are looking forward to getting together with them more during the week! We can't wait!
