Sorrento for President's Day







Andy had the day off for President's Day, so we decided to take a little day trip to Sorrento. We were taking a bit of a gamble with the weather, as it was a bit rainy when we left, but when we got there, the weather cleared and we got some good sunshine. The views from the cliffs of Sorrento overlooking the Mediterranean, Naples, and Mt. Vesuvius are breathtaking and the water extremely clear and amazing shade of green.



We had a great time exploring the town and we had a very good pizza lunch. There were very few people out and about as it is not anywhere near peak tourist season, which was really nice. We'll definitely visit again!

Shoes!!


Claire continues to develop her passion for shoes. She seems most passionate about Mommy and Daddy's shoes and she puts them on every chance she gets.

Valentine's Day Play Date




To celebrate Valentine's Day, we had a bunch of Claire's little friends over for a fun play date. We did a valentine craft, enjoyed heart-shaped sandwiches and other goodies.



The group had a very fun time and Claire was so sad to see all her friends go. Hopefully we'll have them all over again soon!

A Budding Artist


We got Claire an easel from Ikea and used it to paint for the first time today. She had such a great time with her brushes and paint. It looks like we've got a budding artist on our hands. If you would like to commission a work, let me know, and I'll discuss it with the artist.
