Random Happenings

Summer is flying by far too quickly. It's hard to believe we're approaching August already...seems like we just got home with Claire and that was back in early April! Claire started daycare a couple of weeks ago and she's doing very well. The first few days were really tough on both Claire and Mom, but now she enjoys playing with the other little ones and hanging out with her loving teachers. Her cousin, Joey, is in the same room with her and both cousin Sam and Ben are close by as well. Having familiar faces around has made her transition to daycare easier.

Here are some pics of some random recent happenings here at Pullen Central:

Claire is pulling herself up all the time now and thinks it's pretty fun to stand up in her crib!

She also loves to walk while we hold her hands (and gets quite mad when we take a break). It won't be long before she's walking on her own!

Sam recently turned 3 and we had fun at his pool party! Here he is on his cool big wheel that he got from his Mom and Dad.

Happy Birthday, Sam!

Our niece, Vivian turned 2 the same week Sam turned 3. Since she lives in Indiana, we were not able to make it to her party, but we heard she had a great time. Happy 2nd Birthday, Vivian! We can't wait to see you again!!

Claire's first ride in the burley trailer...we haven't gotten a bike helmet for her yet, so we made do with Ben's hockey helmet. Ben kept helping Claire by pushing the helmet back when it would cover her eyes. Both had a great time! Note to self....buy Claire a bike helmet!

It was a rainy Saturday at the cabin, so Ben and Sam helped Granny make a very yummy chocolate cake!

The rain finally cleared and we went for a ride on the ski boat. I loved Sam's expression in this picture...so much fun!

Ben, Claire and Dave had a great time playing with our new "ultimate sprinkler ball" (thanks, Larry, Sharon and Andrew!)

Water baby!

Fun in the tub!
