So Long, June!

In June...

We gave up the search for rental houses and decided to renew our lease for another year.

We updated the family altar and hung a frame ledge in the dining room.

We celebrated the first anniversary of Claire's baptism.

I reached the halfway-through-pregnancy mark.

We tried to find out if Claire was going to have a brother or sister, but the new baby was very uncooperative.

I wrote about what Claire is like at fifteen months old.

My mom and little brother, Scott, visited from Shanghai for two weeks! The first weekend they were here, we went to Snoqualmie Falls and Pike Place Market.

On our second attempt, we found out that Claire was going to have a little sister!

We decided to name her Margaret Joyce and call her Maggie for short.

The second weekend my mom and brother were here, we went to the Chihuly Museum.

They also watched Claire overnight while we stayed in a hotel.

I did a little round-up of all the holiday cards I made with Claire's hand and foot prints throughout the year.

We finished building our desk!
