I have previously mentioned Miss Claire here. Claire was born just 2 days before Jaden in the same hospital although her mom and I were due 3 weeks apart (Claire came a week and a half late, and Jaden came a week and a half early).
Here they are meeting for the first time on December 13, 2003. Claire is in the bassinet and Jaden is being held by his Nana.

Babies at the lake house (7 mo.).

At an early age they enjoyed long walks by the beach (9 mo.).

They were quite the team players (14 mo.).

What a sweetheart:)

Claire and her parents moved to Boston when Jaden and Claire were 19 mo. and JJ missed his little buddy. Fortunately they came back to Seattle for some visits. Here they are running around our house in December of 2005 right after they turned 2.

We took a trip out to Boston to visit them in April of '06. Jenny and Claire and Jaden and I getting ready to take the T.

Enjoying playing on the Make Way for Ducklings statues.


They got to do an Easter egg hunt in Harvard (where Claire's daddy Matt attended law school).

The dapper couple on Easter.


Another Easter egg hunt.

We rented a house on Cape Cod, here they are running on the beach.

Their first brush with the law and their daddies were with them! We got kicked out of this lighthouse because apparently it is "coast guard property". Whatever.

They even enjoyed shopping together.

Playing some Elephun in our playroom.


We hope you had a wonderful 5th birthday sweet girl (and your present's in the mail--sorry it's late:).

A special message for Claire:
