we're off.

At 4 weeks of age, Clara decided to head 6 hours north for a week.  My mom, Clara, and I left on Saturday to come to Palouse, Washington to stay with Ben and Emily for a week while Steve and Teenie went to California for work and play.  We got here Saturday afternoon and Steve and Teenie promptly left to go to what Teenie calls "farmer prom" at Steve's fraternity.  Mom, Emily, the babes and I decided it would be easy enough to go out for dinner and then go buy groceries for the week.  It ended up being a complete fiasco!  I won't share details, but it left us with little confidence in ourselves to care for two children under the age of 1 for a week (and it left us laughing like crazy for most of the night!).

Here is Clara on the road.  She woke up at the halfway point in Riggins to eat and be changed, and slept for the rest of the trip.  She is already a pro at roadtripping!

 This is what she has been doing since we got here.  She's a good baby!

 Here we are today!  After our shenanigans last night, we vowed not to leave the house or get out of our jammies for the entire day today.  It has been fun!
