Elsa and Claire Heinrich: April 2014
http://schmettyblog.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 01, 2014. Lee had a quilting event in Racine this evening (meaning that she had to leave really early), so I picked up Claire from school. In. The ten-minute drive from school to our house, Claire asked me three. I like how random they are. For posterity's sake, here is the list:. 1 Do you want to practice whistling with me? 2 What if you only had one finger? 3 Did you ever throw up because of your sickness? I appreciate the subtle implication that I have permanent sickness.

Elsa and Claire Heinrich: April 2013
http://schmettyblog.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 22, 2013. Claire Turns Four (Daddy Edition). Today little Claireykins turned four years old. In anticipation, Elsa and Claire made the crown in the picture above. They made it, complete with fitted headband, before we woke up on Saturday. For her birthday, Claire got to choose where we would go for dinner. She decided on Potbelly's. To change her mind, we mentioned every sit-down restaurant in a 30-mile radius (other than IHOP. What is your favorite thing about Claire? Elsa: Going to Jumpin...

Elsa and Claire Heinrich: A Mother’s Day Questionnaire for 2013
http://schmettyblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-mothers-day-questionnaire-for-2013.html
Sunday, May 12, 2013. A Mother’s Day Questionnaire for 2013. Following up on last year's Mother's Day post. Here is my interview with the girls this morning, before Mommy woke up. This year, the girls seemed sort of out of it. In any event, they sure love their Mommy. Happy Mother's Day! What is your favorite thing about Mommy? Claire: To make her a card. We had just finished making cards for Mommy.]. Bob: But I mean, what do you love most about Mommy? Claire: That I really love her. She “likes to ...

Elsa and Claire Heinrich: Mommy in Portland
http://schmettyblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/mommy-in-portland.html
Monday, February 17, 2014. Lee went to Portland last weekend for a conference. Teaching four classes. Four! Being so busy, she could not call me. So I asked her. To call me when she had no class. Haha! I stole a great. On Friday night, Elsa had a book club and a birthday party to attend. What a busy social butterfly. Claire and I went to Noodles for dinner (which Elsa does not like, so the timing was good) and Culver's for custard. Saturday morning started like any old Saturday: Elsa's tennis lesson, the.

Elsa and Claire Heinrich: August 2013
http://schmettyblog.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 25, 2013. We hung out in Michigan for a few days this summer, too! We went to Michigan Adventure again, like we did two years ago. Everybody had a blast—Claire and Mia were able to go on a lot more rides this year, and Elsa could do almost everything! I recall Claire being none too thrilled with this kiddy roller coaster last time we were here. This year, she thoroughly enjoyed it. The Frog Hopper: Always a hit. My big girl on the swings. Thanks to the Shaffers for having us once again!

Elsa and Claire Heinrich: June 2013
http://schmettyblog.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 30, 2013. New Baby Cousin Jack. Elsa and Claire got a new little cousin on June 13. Katie and Steve welcomed baby Jack almost four weeks early. (But since he weighed in at more than 7 pounds, there was speculation that her due date may have been wrong.). And I had just hosted Katie's baby shower just four days before he was born. Whew, got that in just under the wire. : ). Jack is such a sweet little guy, and the girls just loooove. Saturday, June 29, 2013. Last Day of School. To be told the...

Elsa and Claire Heinrich: September 2013
http://schmettyblog.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 09, 2013. This year was an Oktoberfest milestone for us—Claire grew out of the original little blue dirndl, which means it was officially retired to my box of "special" outgrown clothes. Elsa probably could have gotten one more year out of her green dirndl, but I found it looked a lot better on Claire than it did Elsa. So that meant it was time for a new dirndl for Elsa! We love Elsa's new dress! And look who else got his own Oktoberfest wear? Monday, September 02, 2013. Alex R., El...

Elsa and Claire Heinrich: July 2013
http://schmettyblog.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 12, 2013. We've spent plenty of time at the Elite pool this summer! The girls are both doing really well with their swimming lessons. Elsa is now in level 3 and will likely graduate to level 4 by the end of the summer. She's swimming really well on her own now—she really just needs to work on her endurance so that she can swim farther. This kid never met a camera she didn't like. Sheesh. Monday, July 01, 2013. First Place in An Art Contest. Where, as we do every year, we had chocolate-covere...
