Mac and Cheese


She likes it so much she rubbed the plate against her face and got it in her nose. A girl's got to have her mac and cheese, a vegetable in the south.

Strawberry yogurt




Clarke is a good eater. I was worried I would have to make congee, a rice/broth porridge, which she ate at almost every meal in China. At first she would only eat bland foods when we came home, but now she will try almost anything. Here she is enjoying strawberry yogurt. At night when I put lotion on her after her bath, she thinks the pink lotion is yogurt and tries to eat it too!

Will is really all about his little sister. He truly likes to help. Here are a couple of pics where Will is feeding her breakfast. Check out his bedhead.

Clarke goes to the pool


She loves the water. She likes to put her whole face in. I love this close up picture with her serious face.

School for Will starts next week. I'll have to start getting up even earlier now to gets us all out the door and Will to school on time.
