Claire may not forgive us, butt...

Here's Claire's!!!

Claire is always a little skeptical about the temperature of the water when she takes a bath. But papa always seems to get it just right. Claire just loves bathtime and she loves her birthday suit. Check out those rolls!
Papa and Claire go for a walk in the wagon back at the apple orchard.
The aunts are in town. It was so nice of them to come all the way out to Charlottesville to see us. Alyson and Cydnee spoiled Claire like any good aunt would when there is only one niece on that side of the family. Just one niece? Claire needs some cousins.
That's a fun one.
Mama and Claire took a ride in the wagon. Aren't they so beautiful? They sure had a good time. Luckily they didn't fall over.
Papa broke the bank. He has been threatening to get a digital SLR for a long time. He finally got one. We have been working on learning the ins and outs of the camera and we are still working on some of the downloading stuff. Anyways, we hope to have some images from the new camera up and running in no time.

Papa is in action with his new camera. Watch out Claire, Papa is coming to get you.

Lately at the Dahle house, it seems like we have been living in bizarro - world. It is like mama and papa have almost switched places. Some examples: Hill is now the budget guru (although her math at times needs some checking), and Nate keeps looking for ways to blow the bank (as evidenced by the camera). Nate now picks up his clothes, and Hill leaves her clothes all over the bedroom. Hill hasn't locked the keys in the car since we were engaged, Nate locked the key in the car last night (luckily the seller of the car saved us), and he keeps losing stuff. When we climb into bed, Hill wants to go to sleep immediately and Nate keeps her up with all types of random questions. Anyways, come to Charlottesville and check out the new bizzaro - world whenever you get a chance.

I'm so glad you got some pictures of our trip up, we were feeling a little left out!
Glad to see the camera came, that wasn't too long.

Whoa, a Canon! I've been looking at the Nikon D40, so you'll have to tell me how you like the Canon. From what I've seen, they were pricier but my regular film SLR is a Canon and I really like it.
As for the link to the story from our blog... there isn't a story just the video which was honestly pretty crappy, but at least it confirms what I assumed was true.

Watch out Nate & Hill, bizzaro-world somehow happens to all of us and seems to get worse the longer your married. Can't wait to see you all...Especially Claire.
By the way...I don't think she's old enough to be standing yet...is are you guys trying to make this kid an over-achiever?

OK...so I need to look at what I type before I post...In case you wondered, I do know it should have been (you're married) and also that (is are you guys) doesn't make sense.

Love, love, love those rolls! She is adorable! That camera looks pretty serious. Maybe we'll have to invite you over to take our family Christmas card photo. As for your bizarro-world, take heart, Hill, Mark keeps me up with random thoughts and questions all the time.
