Looks Like the Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

Between Claire and shopping, that is.  Compliments of Mindy's (MiMi) phone, here is a photographic record of her first trip to Nordstrom Rack...

Claire's First Haircut

Technically, this is not Claire's actual first haircut -- she's had one other quick trim.  But for purposes of this blog, let's go with it!

As you can see, she had a lot of hair to work with.

Red lollipop = no tears.  I don't have an "after" picture because I'm a terrible person, so you'll just have to believe me when I tell you the finished product was at least 90% less mullety.

...Flim Flam, Bim Bam...

Huzzah! It's football season! Which means lots of great things, not the least of which is that Claire gets to break out her sundress.

She spent a lot of her time on the dessert end of the table.

She also spent a lot of time with her new friend Sarah.

 Meanwhile, Henry wrapped himself in Mardi Gras beads and got a bird's eye view of our tailgate. Naturally.

You wouldn't know it from this picture but Henry is a screamer at football games.  He yells "DE-FENSE!" and "I-FENSE!" [sic] with equal amounts of gusto. 

On Sunday, Henry took a ride in his buddy Sanders' Jeep. Now I don't know about you, but I'm not sure if them Duke boys is gonna get outta this mess...but that's just plum the way it goes in Hazzard County.

Sunday night we were lucky enough to accidentally stumble onto this free Jimbo Mathus concert in Taylor. In related news, Claire likes to dance.
