Meeting Clare

If you've visited my website, you'll have read about my great-niece Clare. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to finally meet her when I visited New England. I spent a delightful day with the newest member of our family. And I have to tell you, she is absolutely adorable. Her brother Jamie is wonderful as well. I had so much fun getting to know them. Clare was very "talkative" that day and we all enjoyed hearing her new sounds. Having only seen pictures of Clare, it was fun to finally hold her and see the beautiful expressions on her face. She is so aware of all that is going on around her and watches everyone intently. Jamie is full of fun and is so smart. My niece Teresa and her husband Shawn are awesome parents. I really appreciate that I was able to spend time with all of them.
