Healing

We had a good week of rest following Valerie's surgery. Valerie had a doctor's appointment today, and all of her tests showed she is making good progress...she even got the ok to carry Claire again (there was a concern about her passing out before)...very exciting! We just returned from our first dinner out since Valerie's surgery, and all went well.

Claire is clearly growing. Her newborn outfits are beginning to get too small for her...mostly too short, but not too small around. Perhaps she will turn out to be long and lean? She continues to eat like a champ on a very regular basis.

And now for the fun part...a couple of photos from this week. First is a picture of Claire and Valerie reading the day before Valerie's surgery. Then we managed to capture a shot of Claire with a smile...and finally, Claire with Walter (he doesn't seem quite as big, right?).
