Clare Bear @ 5

Although Clare's birthday snuck up on me for several reasons:
1- party is planned for NEXT Saturday
2- we had a super bowl party and were slow to move this morning
3- we kinda celebrated with the Neimans last week

It's still awesome to sit back and think about my Bear and how much she has grown and changed in the past 5 years. From being the first and the girl that looks more like her daddy sometimes, it's hard not to be in love with her just about all the time. I'm going to look for some of my favorite Clare pictures tonight and try to get them up here, I really loved seeing the ones Meg picked out.
She's becoming such a grown-up, brave, kind little girl... thinking about all of the things that are in store for her is almost too much sometimes.
