Here is Baby Clare!



Hi! My name is Clare Noelani.


I was born on February 18, 2008 at 10:47pm. I was 7lbs 11oz and 21 inches long.

My entrance was quick and uneventful. Mommy's labor was smooth and "easy." I am a very good little baby and I like to "kick it" - as my Uncle Paul would say.

Abby's Birthday Party...

Today was my birthday party. Mommy found it very challenging to get pictures of me opening up my presents because all the kids were crowding around. I want to thank Austin, Jacob, Garrett, Landon, Olivia, Sara, Maria and of course Michael for coming to my birthday and making my party extra special!

Garrett really liked the elephant hat I got...hee hee!

Once upon a time...11 years ago...

on February 8, 1997, a girl walked into a party in Flanner Hall at Notre Dame. Immediately she noticed a boy with an amazing smile. She really didn't want to meet anyone that night and sat herself on the couch. The boy noticed the girl sitting there and got a little offended that she was at his party and not having a good time. So he made it his mission that night to make her laugh...and the rest, as they say, is history....This is the first picture taken of Mommy (18) and Daddy (19). It was taken in late February 1997, before the Saint Mary's College All School Formal. Mommy had originally been set up on a blind date with another boy. She was able to set that boy up with her roommate (thanks Elisha!) and asked Daddy to go to the dance with her.


Oh...and yes...mommy had blond hair.

Happy Birthday Abby & Papa!

Abby and Papa turned 3 and 64 (respecively). We had a fun birthday dinner for both of them at Grandma and Papa's house. Abby really REALLY liked her doll house from Mommy and Daddy (thanks Melissa for all the doll house advice!).

Birthday Girl!
