This past week, we spent some time in Oregon and Washington with Steve’s family.
First stop – Aunt Lori’s house!
Aunt Lori and Uncle Clay gave Claire the book I’m A Big Sister. Here Aunt Lori is reading it to her.
Next stop: Grandma Robin and Grandpa D’Wayne’s house
We walked over to see their neighbor, Joe, and his dogs’ new puppies. They were only a week old when these pictures were taken. Claire was totally in love!

Claire found a pair of Aunt Nicole’s high heels and decided to take them for a spin.

Next we headed to Gramps’ beach house.
