"Barbie Rapunzel" & Baby Claire

Saturday was a day to celebrate babies! We attended a baby shower BBQ for our friends, Andy and Maggie Holloway, at the very cool Gas Works Park in Seattle.
A few months ago when Maggie told Emma she was going to have a baby girl, Emma thought she should name her, Barbie Rapunzel. I'm not sure that name has made their short list, but we are having fun calling Baby Holloway that for now.
Gas Works Park was the old Seattle Gas Light Company and many of the old pieces of machinery are still there. Camden and Emma had a great time exploring. I was lucky enough to grab an adorable picture of them with the Space Needle in the background.
Just a few more weeks and then we'll get to meet "Barbie Rapunzel" in person. :)












At our next stop, we got to meet one month old Claire Du. We became friends with Claire's parents, Bo and Hung, when Chris and Bo worked together in the Community Activities Division of MWR in Japan. Since Emma's best buddy's name is Claire, she has affectionately named Claire Du, Baby Claire. She was all talk about wanting to hold Claire before we arrived, but when she saw just how tiny Baby Claire was, she got a little shy. :) Camden's eyes were as big as saucers while I was holding her. He just didn't know what to think of her. We couldn't be happier for Bo and Hung-what a precious addition to their family!
