Remember strep throat....

...you know it.  The itchy, on-fire throat thing you get as a kid.  Well, apparently, grown ups can still get it...who knew!?  I have strep throat....eww gross, right!  So, mommy has been sidelined to the couch most of the day since I've been sick since Sat without a break.

We spent the weekend at Jeff and Mona's...the picture of Claire show her love affair with Tigger (whom she is determined to catch one day) and her love for teething cookies...mmm, messy!  She's babbling constantly in this cute little high-pitched tone all the time now!  The flower pictures highlight our ready-to-bloom peony in the backyard and the gorgeous Burning Bush that we haven't killed yet!  Hooray!

I might update with more pictures later...as our peanut will  be 11 MONTHS OLD TOMORROW!!!  Only one month from being a whole year old!  Holy cow!  Maybe I'll catch some bath pictures tonight!
