The Puddle Jumper
After a nice warm March rain, Clare got to put on her boots and go stompin'. Sometimes, it's the little things.....

La Fheile Padraig (Happy St Patrick's Day in Irish)
We started celebrating St Patrick's Day on Saturday, March 14th by going to O'Malley's to hear live, traditional Irish music. Clare liked the songs from her "homeland".
Captured her enjoying herself.
Having a snuggle with daddy (I think someone's a little tired).
Tuesday, March 17th on our way to the Dogtown Parade with our friend Alex. (Dogtown=Irish section of STL where thousands of people go on St Patty's Day.)
Okay, so probably not a good pic to have your kid holding a bottle of whiskey, but they didn't know what it was and had fun pretending to be leprechauns.
Thousands upon thousands of people. The parade go-ers were 5 rows deep.
Striking a pose to sport her Irish garb.
There's our beautiful Irish lass.
Later that day......to the Royale (our favorite neighborhood hang-out) to hear more Irish music. Apparently, the harpist is in the top 5 of Irish harpists in the world.
Both of us enjoying the day and the festivities.

Bowling's Right Up her Alley!
This morning, Clare saw a commercial for bowling and decided that that's what she wanted to do since she had never been bowling before. Since it was Toby's spring break, he managed to take a little time out to go bowling with us. We went to Flamingo Bowl, which is downtown STL. This is the the average bowling alley--they serve sandwiches, appetizers, and martinis! We had a really good time and Clare loved it! She bowled a pretty good 67!
"Go ball go! Go ball go!"
Waiting to see the knock-down.
So happy!
Jumping and cheering with excitement!

Jumping and cheering with excitement!SLU Women's Basketball Game
On Weds, 2/25, we took Clare to a SLU women's basketball game at SLU's new arena. We stayed the entire game (we were surprised Clare lasted as long as she did). We had a really nice time.
Seats really close to the action!
"Defense, defense" Clare would yell no matter who had the ball!
She loves that Billiken.
Resting on her daddy's shoulder. Way past someone's bedtime. Toby usually goes to bed at 8:00. :-)

Clare's "neighbor" birthday party
This past Sunday (2/22), we had Clare's annual "neighbor" party, where we invite our close neighbors, but we're finding that our definition of "neighbor" is branching out into other parts of the city. See the video at the bottom.
A very happy guest of honor.
Dancing with Chris.
At her request, Liz made a yellow T-Rex cake with red polka dots.
Opening presents with the help of neighbor-friend Abby.
Clare entertaining our newest neighbor Elam (3mos).
