Claire couldn't choose which toy to play with so she played with all of them. As you can tell all of her toys love playing with her. I hope that everyone who has given her a toy sees it in this picture and knows that she truly loves each and every one. Sometimes mama gets jealous and steals Claire's toys and then we have to remind mama about the 10 commandments.
Claire has had enough! With a swipe of the hand she breaks free of all of her toys. She only wants to play with Papa because she misses him during the day and she misses speaking Italian. Right now we are studying together the conditional past verb conjugations. Claire got 95% on last nights pop quiz. Those of you who have not seen Claire in person are missing out on the cutest baby in the world (Please see latest issue of BABY Magazine page 42 column 1 for reference).
Continuing a long-standing Dahle tradition... WAFFLES!!! Watch out Grandpa Norm, there is a new cook in town. Fine, we stole the recipe, but the results are the same. 9 of 10 people say that these are the best waffles that they have ever eaten. There is a discussion in the household as to whether or not we should pick up the waffler that makes 4 at a time. Imagine how much more satisfied the party guests would be.
From left to right. Amanda Mudrick, Ben Mudrick, Ryan Harris. Some good friends enjoying the waffle party. Notice the smiles. Despite having a baby, the Dahles can still throw a good party. Again, Claire wanted nothing to do with the party and she was fussy the whole time. Somehow it wasn't all about her and she wasn't happy about it. 
Our neighbor Rob from across the hall fulfills two lifelong dreams - 1-eating a fresh belgian waffle (he claims only to have eaten the eggo style), and 2- having his picture posted on a blog. Rob and his fiance' Dena (pictured later) are wonderful neighbors. They are our go to people when we need to borrow stuff. And Rob loves our cookie recipe.
Hill gets into the waffle action. She was the perfect hostess. Everyone is amazed at how quickly she is getting back to her pre-pregnancy form. She is the best mom and the best wife ever. Don't worry, she is already talking about her next birthday present. She has 358 days to dream big (and pray that we get a massive raise to cover all those dreams).
We promised to show a picture of Dena. She loves that orange juice, but truly the smile comes form the waffle that she just finished.
This just in... the 10th survey participant caved, now they are all recommending Dahle waffles. Cheryl Harris (who's husband Ryan is pictured above) shows proper technique in cutting the perfect sized piece with appropriate proportions of whipping cream, waffle, syrup, and strawberries. Nice job Cheryl.We hope you all enjoyed this post. Surprisingly we have not received multiple emails/texts/phone calls requesting an update. Maybe fan support is dying out. Not to worry, we will still post for those of you who are die-hards. Nate made a real sacrifice to get this post up tonight before he starts his week of working nights. We love you all.

I am a die-hard fan of your blog! It is the first one I check, and often the only one due to time restraints, internet outages, etc... Your pictures are great and the captions are even better.
Thank you Rebecca. I am thinking about quitting residency and becoming a professional blogger. I hear you can make big money. it could be the next big scrapbooking thing...
I'm so sad that I missed the waffle party!! Those are the best waffles and I'm stuck on the west coast with the recipe and NO waffle maker to try them!
I think you could definitely go pro in the blogging world Nate! However, the world needs as many anesthesiologists as possible in my opinion so maybe you could still be a doctor on the side.
Nate, may I help you to recall the person Hill went on & on about as she was delivering the prettiest girl in town....It was, after all, an anesthesiologist who gave her that epidural! Look how many happy women (& jealous men) you could have thinking about you.
As to your blog...It is the ONLY one I read, but I've been gone to 4 days of State PTA Training in the Mountains, and will be gone to 4 days of girls camp starting Tues. so don't be allarmed if La Nona isn't responding. Claire is (almost)all I think about.
So to end my epistle...I'm absolutely sold on the 4 well waffle idea. I've never eaten anything so heavenly!
Once again, a successful waffle party! I'm still upset that Ben made us return our waffle iron we got for our wedding. I think I will have to get the recipe and hold onto it so that I have an excuse to just buy one when I feel like a waffle. Thanks for the good times... we love you guys!
Hello from hot, hot, hot SLC. It was 105 yesterday and will reach 102 this afternoon. Your recent blog postings reflect a well adjusted, fed and happy Dahle family. We've been missing the Virginia Dahles very much and are counting down the days for our forth coming visit. It's hard to believe that we'll be there in three short weekends. Hasten the day. Claire continues to grow much too quickly excpet for the every increasing cuteness. My little June Bug have fun meeting Grandpa Carter but know that you have yet another Grandpa very anxious to give you squeezes, kisses and hugs. The blog is great. Thanks, for keeping it updated. We love and miss you all. Papa Norm
I've also been out of town and unable to access the blog. I'm glad there was a new posting up upon my return. It was the first thing I checked when I started up my computer this morning. I can vouch for those waffles too, they are delicious!
Um not to be picky or anything, but it has been quite a while since you posted anything new on the blog. You spoiled us with the first couple of weeks, now we expect new pics more often!
