All about Clara

I wanted a new topic to blog about so I looked at pictures on my phone. 
Lots of cute pictures of Clara. Corinne is recovering from foot surgery so she has had
the luxury of taking lots of pictures while she is home.
Now that the boys are all in school all day, Corinne and Ben I think are 
loving the quiet time at home being just three instead of seven people.
 She is playing with some toys that we bought her for Christmas last year.
This is her first time with them so she is quite enthralled.
 I love her unique mohawk.
Little fly away hair.
 I also love her little rolly polly arms.
 She looks so much like Corinne did when she was a baby.
 I love that little face.
 She is all personality.
 What is she thinking??
 So much going on in her little head.
 Here she is with all her big brothers as they leave for the 1st day of school.
 This is when Corinne was still stuck in her bed.
Clara just hung out on the bed with her. She isn't really crawling yet.
 I love her little concentrating face.
 I think both Corinne and Ben enjoy dressing her up.
 Concentrating again.
 I'm very pleased that Clara got the Daly blue eyes!!
Ben has been so great to take care of Corinne and keep the kids involved too.
He brought up Sunday lunch so everybody could be together. 
So that's my Clara highlight.
I think I'll do Graham next.

The perfect decorating theme

I have my own bathroom where I shower because I don't like the master shower set up.
I have had a couple different decoration themes over the years.
First was ocean/seashells. It was okay, but I never felt like it popped.
Right now I have a pink floral shower curtain and quite a few vintage pictures of girls/women.
The pictures are from birthday and anniversary cards that I have received over the years.
I've been happier with this theme, but the shower curtain is very flimsy so often the water leaks out of the shower stall and makes a big puddle mess.

Well, my dreams have come true. 
I found this bath set at Bed Bath & Beyond on Saturday.
I bought the shower curtain. I'm going to go back each time I get a 20% coupon and buy the rest.
The shower curtain actually has texture of netted puffs for the flowers on it.
I'm just so excited to finally find something that is exactly what I've been dreaming of.

 I'm not sure if I studied the shoes to figure out what they are for. 
 You can see that the design is textured.
Just perfect.
I took pictures of my new shower curtain this morning.
See how cute the flowers are with the netting?


 Here are all my vintage pictures.
I got this one from my Mom.
 This is a card from Fred.
 Another card from Fred.
 A card from a friend.
 Another card from Fred.
 Another card from a friend.
I love all these cards. They do capture my life.
Love my new bathroom theme. I can hardly wait to buy more of the accessories.
Then I'll just live in there.
