Mom and Dad
Brinkerhoff came to visit us for a couple of days on their way to Courtney's baptism in Detroit. It was simply wonderful having them here! As Claire was a little older than the last time they came to visit (for her blessing), we were able to see and do a lot more. The weather even cooperated...it was a balmy 40-50 degrees the whole time they were here!
Claire fell in love with them and was so excited to see that they were still here each time she woke up from a nap or a night.
Now it's hilarious to see her
Skype with them and know who they are...she can't figure out why they're in the computer :) Please come again Grandma and Grandpa!

A really hard puzzle that I had nothing to do with. No picture to tell where pieces were. Just patterns. Well done Mom and Brian...(Grandpa helped a little too :)

Claire got to open her birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa early. It was perfect...a music set with 5 "
instruments". So cool! Thank you!

Family picture in the giant chair at
Mader's. Thanks for the dinner Mom and Dad!

Claire likes German restaurants.

Little girl in a really big chair :)

Grandma and Grandpa in front of the wall of toilets in
Kohler...a really fun place to visit.

Claire loved the stuffed animals at a really cool toy store we visited. So soft!


Our little princess.

Again...just so soft!

Fun bean bag chair that cracked Claire up.

I loved this little "
Rody"...bouncy, plastic, and grows with the kid (as you can inflate it more as they grow). I've been looking at it online ever since. Claire may end up with one someday...

Grandpa and Claire at the Domes. Obviously in deep conversation :)

Oh...that's what they were talking about!

Grandpa, Grandma, and Claire...ready for a nap.


Two lovely ladies!
There is a giant blue ball on the roof of the Desert Dome. Claire was absolutely fascinated.


Mommy and Claire...at the Domes again. We love this place!

Grandpa's little girl.

Or, is it Grandma's little girl?
Come again Grandma and Grandpa! We love you!

She is so sweet! I love it when grandparents come - kids just seem to know they're extra special. That's a cutie pie girl you have there and a beautiful family:)
Looks like you had so much fun! Stella has a Rody, and she really likes it.
I think Claire looks like mama Brinkerhoff. She is so cute!
Aw! Cute. I love visitors. I don't get why no one wants to come see us right now??? :)
Claire is so stinkin' cute!! Looks like you had a fun visit. I can't believe you can still carry Claire in the Bjorn!
My mom comes in 10 days. I just love having grandparents visit!!!!
She's growing up so much! I love the Rody, btw. My nephew got one for Christmas, and it was so fun watching him bounce around all day.
