Space Coast Marathon

Today Patrick completed his second marathon; that's another 26.2 miles. It was the Space Coast Marathon and he finished in under 4 hrs and 40 minutes... shaving about 20 minutes off of his time this past January.

After the race Clara enjoyed chewing on Patrick's marathon metal.

Christmas decorations

After I hit the black Friday sales on Friday, we started to decorate the house for Clara's first Christmas. We've set up the tree barricaded by two ottomans. And we've hung the stocking on our banister... since our house doesn't have a proper fireplace mantle.
So far, Clara hasn't been too bad with the new temptations; however, she couldn't stop from tasting just a few...

Clara's First Thanksgiving

Clara seemed to enjoy her first Thanksgiving. She even ate her very own turkey dinner.

Looking for a trampoline

Clara is getting very active. Tonight she realized that the shocks on her stroller would work as a makeshift trampoline. Take a look.

Shake it, Baby

Coming Through

You better watch out because Clara is coming through. She has started to push her walker all around the house. But like many of the old lady drivers of South Florida, she has some trouble steering. So for now, if you see her coming, better get out of the way :)

She has also started to "dance" which you will hear me ask her to do in the above video. She didn't this time so I don't have a good video clip of that yet, but I'll post one as soon as I can. Basically she will either bounce up and down when she hears music play, or she will shake her behind. It is adorable.
