Avocado Painting and Teething

Today, the ladies woke up a bit early, at around 6:15. With lots of entertaining from Mommy and Daddy, the Clara and Emma made it to 8:40 before going down for a nap. Mommy headed to the gym and the store and returned in time for lunch, where Clara experimented with Avocado painting. She and Emma are both in some teething pain as indicated by their scrunched up faces, fingers and hands in mouth, and of course, anything else available to put in their mouths to sooth their gums. Clara seems to be raising her arms in the air like she is saying "hallelujah." Mommy and Daddy think it is very funny. In the afternoon, David and Michelle came over for a BBQ. They are cooking a friend for Clara and Emma, due around Thanksgiving. Mommy was happy to lend Michelle some of her maternity clothes and books. Clara was a bit fussy in the afternoon, so Mommy and Daddy took Clara and Emma on a walk and showed David and Michelle some of Dobbs. Of course, no visit would be complete without a stop at the park to swing. After dinner, Clara and Emma went to sleep and the adults began their evening.
