those post-nap smiles

For a lot of little reasons, and one very big reason, this week was a crazy one! One of those weeks where it's like "everything is totally normal, just stickin' to the 'ole status quo around here" and then all of a sudden, it's like "nothing is normal, and it's scary, and it's stressful, and what is even happening??" and then it's like "it's 60 degrees" and by the end of the week "it's snowing!" and when it goes from 60 degrees to snowing, you never know what you're in for.

Okay, but all joking aside, this week has been crazy for lots of reasons that don't have to do with the weather at all. But we're on the other side of it, and my weekend was much much better than the five days preceding it. Plus, things are looking much brighter from here on out.

And I finally documented how cute little miss Claire is when she wakes up from naptime. I've never seen a little person get so excited! Her legs start kicking a million miles an hour, and her mouth opens wide, and she gives you the cutest squeal to let you know she's there. This girl, I'm tellin' ya. It just keeps getting better.
