This morning, we woke up bright and early to go downtown for the 2008 Race for the Cure. The weather was great and Claire was as happy as could be, despite missing her morning nap.
I remember doing the race last year with Rob while I was pregnant. I remember seeing all the strollers and thinking about how special it would be to do the race with Baby Barnes the next year, in honor of her Grandma Barnes!
Here we are, ready to go! Doesn't Claire look super-excited?! It was barely even sunny, but she just looked so cute in her sunglasses!
Here's a proud Daddy carrying Claire on his shoulders and walking with Uncle Matt. We missed you today Aunt Alison!
So...Race for the Cure 2009...I'm challenging all the Barnes crew to come out and walk with us! I'll even make t-shirts :-)
The summer has officially begun! OK, so I think summer actually technically begins in late June, BUT in my opinion Memorial Day weekend is when the summer season begins....and for us, that means it's "river season"! Growing up, my family would spend Memorial weekend at the "rivah" boating, fishing, swimming, and tubing. It was always our favorite weekend because the water would be cold enough that the stinging nettles weren't in yet so we could actually get in the water! Now that Rob's Dad has a river house, we have started the same tradition with our family. We headed down Saturday morning and spent the night. Claire did great! We celebrated Bob's birthday with a cookout and enjoyed some time with family and friends.
It was absolutely beautiful weather! While Daddy took his turn riding around in the boat, Claire and I sat outside for a picnic.
More prunes please!
