Strouse House: July 2013
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 21, 2013. Brad and I like to say that Clara has a good life. Her second birthday was no exception, Clara had a birthday-palooza. We started on her actual birthday on the 11th. We practiced singing Happy Birthday for a few weeks beforehand. Clara was excited when she actually got to fill in her name in the song on her big day. She ended her birthday outside running through the sprinkler in her clothes. I love the simple joys of being a little kid. We ended the night playing outside. Just like...

Strouse House: November 2013
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 19, 2013. Fall is the best. We love Panther football games, the weather is great and there are lots of simple fun things to do. Fall flew by this year, as we were in wedding prep mode. But, we managed to enjoy a few traditional activities. One chilly Saturday morning during Luke's nap, we helped Clara jump in the leaves in our front yard. She loved it! His cheeks get me every time. Our little Tigger and Winnie the Pooh had lots of fun on Halloween too. Clara loved to bounce in her c...

Strouse House: Luke the Toddler (15 Months)
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2014/06/luke-toddler-15-months.html
Tuesday, June 3, 2014. Luke the Toddler (15 Months). We’re having a hard time accepting that this guy isn’t “baby Luke” anymore. But, we have to admit he’s turning into more of a toddler every day. He’s walking everywhere now, and tends to run the fastest when we tell him no! He’s still a pretty good eater, but has learned to get a reaction from us by tossing his food across the room. We try and ignore the behavior in an effort to not encourage, but Clara doesn’t want to let anything R...Luke copies e...

Strouse House: Spring Break 2014
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2014/04/spring-break-2014.html
Sunday, April 27, 2014. We jumped at the chance to join the Daniels family for a beach vacation in March. While vacationing with small children is not relaxing, it was a lot of fun. Both kids did fairly well flying and staying flexible with their "schedules.". We all stayed in a house in Captiva, Florida. It's a great vacation spot for families, as everything is walkable and the beach is always close. Our little family had two bedrooms to share and it was nice to spread out a bit. We loved getting to spe...

Strouse House: October 2013
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 28, 2013. Clara has picked up the phrase "big day". Sometimes when we ask her what she did at school or daycare she'll tell us "big day guys, big day" with her very emphatic hand motions. We had a big day a couple weeks ago that was just what we needed. Luke had been sick early in the week and we were running on little sleep and very little sanity :). Luke was a trooper after a couple days of fever. We have a (maybe weird? She and dad also had some fun "hiding". Wednesday, October 16, 2013.

Strouse House: June 2013
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 23, 2013. Brad and Clara's Adventure. Before Clara turned two, Brad wanted to fly with her to visit his dad in Dallas. It worked out that both his siblings were headed down in June so they joined the trip! This is how Clara helped pack. Clara was really excited to fly! While they were there, they also visited the zoo. Clara loved seeing the animals and they had a great day exploring. She got to be really close to the lions and the giraffes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Some catching up to do.

Strouse House: December 2013
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 28, 2013. We continued our tradition of cutting down a live tree. We ventured out with my family to the tree farm and everyone came home with a winner. It was a beautiful winter morning to be outside. Clara liked learning how to make/throw snowballs with her new uncle Dan. Luke was an adorable outdoorsman. Decorating the tree was an adventure with the two kiddos. Luke LOVED the lights and Clara didn’t want him to touch anything! One of the joys of having little kids is adorable footed ...

Strouse House: Celebrating Luke
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2014/04/celebrating-luke.html
Sunday, April 13, 2014. We had a farm party to celebrate our sweet boy turning one. The theme was chosen partly because Luke loves our Little People barn and the toy animals. It was also chosen because I found some sweet farm animal plates on clearance at Hobby Lobby six months ago :). We gave the kiddos little farmer hats and bandanas so they could play in our favorite part of the decorations - the cardboard barn! Dedication to the barn on a zero degree day :). We had some farm crafts for the kiddos to ...

Strouse House: Calling All Umifriends!
http://bradandmollie.blogspot.com/2014/07/calling-all-umifriends.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2014. I'm not sure how she got hooked, but the Umizoomi friends have become Clara's favorite over the last year. We decided she need an umi-style third birthday party. When she got up from her quiet time on Saturday, she was thrilled to see that grandma had delivered the UmiCar cake and Milli and Geo cupcakes. Her actual quote was, "this is the best birthday ever! We kept the food simple with pizza, but added some shape cheese and jello to fit the theme. Clara had lots of cakes to...
