Claire has turned into quite the crawling machine. Last week, Reagan left the door open when she went outside to play. Claire watched her from the door for a while, then decided she didn't want to miss out on the fun.
Reagan is really excited to start Mommy and Me dance class on base this week. She likes dancing, but an activity that involves special shoes-yes, please!
Both girls are also starting swimming lessons. Reagan is really excited that Baby gets to go too.
We've had a big wildfire burning about 15 miles from base. It has made for some very smokey days. This summer has actually been very calm for wildfires, some of the locals have said that it's usually smokey most of the summer.
That's smoke, not clouds outside the clinic.
Ranger found a new groomer who wants to help him work through his grooming phobia (ha ha!), we were grateful that she didn't kick him out right away. She is also a dog musher. We are looking forward to taking some mushing lessons from her in the winter. We will all get to pile into a cart, and Justin and I will get to take turns driving. I was very excited because I didn't think the girls would be able to go mushing.
We've been enjoying story time at the library on Thursdays, so much that I volunteered to be in charge of it for the year! It's been a good outlet for my teacher side. Thankfully, another mom agreed to help. She's going to be in charge of the crafts and I'll take care of the reading and games. Reagan really enjoyed the day in the picture because they had wild Alaskan blueberries and ice cream for a snack to go along with the book-two of her favorite things.
Captain Whitaker celebrated his birthday this month. Reagan talked for weeks beforehand about making daddy a cake. She was eager to help.
This was after the flour-covered clothing was removed.
It was a mess, but so hard to stop laughing. Rea didn't know what to think when flour started going everywhere!
She also thought Daddy needed balloons for his birthday.
She just knew he would love a Mickey Mouse balloon. A few seconds later:
Our weight wasn't quite heavy enough. Thankfully, Justin is quite handy-a few broom handles, a wire hanger, and some duct tape rescued the balloons.
This is as still as we could get everyone. Reagan wanted to keep blowing out the candle over and over, Claire was sure she was finally old enough for some cupcake!
Fall is quickly on its way out and winter is beginning to creep in. The leaves and the wind have both changed. We've been trying to spend as much time outside as possible before we are stuck indoors. We had an end of summer/fall block party with the neighbors last weekend.
