When Dave and I had Claire we were the first of our "couple friends" to have a baby. Everyone was fascinated with this little addition to our group and she quickly became known as "baby Claire".
Dave helped with the makeup too!

"Baby Claire" was very popular, being the only one under 20 amongst our friends. Her 1st birthday party boasted a private Kindermusik instructor and 70 of her closest friends, 8 of which were under 20!
Since then, other babies have come, families have grown, and Claire has dropped the "baby" from her name. Well, most people have dropped it. : )
Here I sit, 9 years later, reflecting on this amazing girl. There have been times over the last 9 years that I have been frustrated, worried, scared, sure that I was doing something wrong, and that my daughter would grow up crazy or something! Turns out, all I needed to do was love her, surround her with amazing people, and admit when I was wrong and try better the next time. God was taking care of her all along. There is no doubt in my mind. There is no way not to believe God is in the details in this girl because she is amazing!
Happy Birthday my sweet, sweet baby Claire ~
