Zero to Eight in 3 Minutes 23 Seconds

Miriam turned 8 this month and is getting baptized on Saturday.  For this special occasion, we've been reflecting on what an honor and a responsibility it is to raise such a wonderful little girl.  In this video, we've taken one picture from every month of her life and shown them for two seconds each.  Some months it was hard to choose, and for other months, it was hard to find any pictures since it was three computers ago.  But every time we watch it we just hold hands, smile, and wonder at how fast she is growing up.

Clarissa's One!

Q: What do you get when you cross a happy one-year-old with a box of Cheerios?
A: A CheeriOne cake!

 'Miss Clariss' contentedly ate the Cheerios off her cake and left the good stuff for the rest of us!  She also learned that a fistful of ice cream shoved in your mouth all at once can be painful.
