Randomness

My wish for these two is they always stay like this with each other.  I know, it's not possible for them to never have a fight.  But when they are older I hope they can have this closeness and keep the bond they have had since the were created.  

The picture above and the one below of Claire alone where taken in our sub-basement door way.  The kids followed me down here this afternoon and were just dying to come down and play.  The sub-basement is off limits.  I have too much crap down there for them.  That is one of the reasons I was down there.  I'm working on cleaning off the unnecessary items on one of the shelves.  I have a HUGE pile to donate.  Just need to get busy doing some quick inventory to help with taxes later.  

Anyway, the kids sat on the stairs and flirted with me as they moved their way down each step.  They laughed, giggled and played for over an hour.  It was so much fun that I just had to try and capture it, even if the lighting isn't very good down there.  Doesn't this pictures show off her eyes?  All 3 of the kids have beautiful eyes, but often I don't see that reflected in the photos.  Maybe the flash helped a little with making they eyes "pop".

She look like she is up to something?  This was taken on Saturday at the 1st Birthday party of a friend's little one.  Avary had so much fun and did well even with everyone being strangers to her.
