God doesn't make junk

Every night Mark and I say affirmations with Claire after her prayers and we tell her that God has a very special plan for her life. The other night after her bath Claire looked at me and said "Mommy, I am pretty, I am beautiful, and God made me perfect. And I am healthy because God doesn't make junk" Such a proud mommy moment, that just melted my heart :)





I can not believe that my little girl will be 3 in a month!

Manitou Incline and The Olympics!

Every year I really look forward to April because that's when we have Seminar in Colorado Springs. About 1000 of us meet at the bottom of the Manitou Incline at 5am to climb the mountain. The last 2 times I only made it up half way, but not this year! I made it to the top in a little under an hour and back down in 45 minutes! Pretty Awesome! This was the first year that Mark was able to do it as well.


We also got to visit the Olympic Training Center! I am proud to say that I have been hand selected with a few others to be one of the official Wellness Doctors for 5 of our USA Olympic teams: USA Judo, USA Wrestling, USA Weightlifting, USA Volleyball, and USA Martial Arts. I will be traveling with them to the 2012 Olympic games in London next summer!!!!! So exciting!!!

Going to seminar is like a mini vacation. Here are some of my sweet friends...the other doctors I am in training with while in Florida.



While we were in CO, Claire was having a blast of her own. Her Nonnie and Tini took her swimming, to the beach and the zoo. From the looks of it they had a great time!


Now off to our next adventure. We will be in San Antonio next week for our site selection trip, where we will be narrowing down our choices of office space with a Realtor! Please send prayers our way that we will find the perfect place!

I put Claire down for a nap in our bed, then went in to check on her sleeping. Only she wasn't sleeping...she was in the shower playing with "cream cheese." (aka shaving cream) So cute...

Turn my power on mommy!

Naples, FL

After spending a wonderful Christmas in Texas, we immediately picked up and moved to our new "home" in Naples. The day we left Charlotte it was snowing. 2 days later we were in Florida watching people playing on the beach in bikinis :) So far we really like our new home. The weather is great and there are palm trees everywhere. We left one beautiful city for another!







Claire has also started a new pre-school 3 days a week while Mark is training in the office. We asked her if she knew her teacher's name, to which she responded " yes, it's Mrs. Wolf". When we asked her if she knew her other teachers name, she informed us that is was "the other wolf" Pretty cute :)

Family Christmas Date--- Asheville, NC 2010

Being that Claire is an only child and grand child, she is really blessed with gifts at Christmas time. We thought it would be fun to have a Family Christmas Date rather than spend money on toys that she doesn't need. Not to mention we have been in North Carolina for almost 8 months now and still have not seen the sights, so we wanted to check out Asheville, NC before we left.

Asheville is about 2 hours north of Charlotte and is a charming little mountain town. Apparently everyone there is really health conscious as there are health food stores and restaurants everywhere! We were so jealous. In a town of 70,000 people there are like 4 health food supermarkets!

The first day we took Claire on the Rocky Mountain Railroad "Polar Express" tour, for a trip to the North Pole. Claire absolutely LOVES trains so we knew this would be her favorite part of the trip.















The next day we went to the Biltmore Estate which is a huge castle that George Vanderbilt built in the 1800's. We heard that it was amazing to see at Christmas time, with lots of stuff to do. Claire wasn't too crazy about the tour of the house, but she had a blast at the barn and petting zoo. Mommy had a blast at the Winery Tasting and Tour :)








Now off to our next adventure in Florida. Can't wait to post pictures of the beach and Disney World this coming year!
