Why Claire?

Several people have asked why we picked the name Claire? Well, it met my criteria of being 1) short 2) devoid of many/any "s" sounds and 3) doesn't end with an "ee" sound. It also met Molly's criteria of 1) hasn't had a student with the name (or at least a student she didn't like) 2) couldn't also be a common boy's name. Plus, we both liked the fact that it has a French origin, meaning "clear" or "famous".

We also realized that Paige's dad's name was Claire, so it is nice to have that family connection.

A few more visitors this evening... Molly's colleagues and friends Sara, her daughter Colette, and Kim:





And our precious getting a nap in...
