This weekend we went to Columbus to celebrate Great-Grandpa Shepherd's 80th birthday (Ben's Grandpa). All of his children, their spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were there to help him celebrate! It had been a long time since the WHOLE family was together and it was the first time for a lot of Ben's family to see Claire! We had a wonderful time! Thanks to Grammy for all the time & energy organizing this special event!

Uncle Brad made the long drive from Atlanta to be with us for the birthday celebration.
The hotel had an indoor pool and it was Claire's first time swimming! She loved it! She already has an excellent swimming kick and definitely has the McDowell love for swimming in her! I can't wait to teach her how to swim! Maybe she'll be like her Mommy and join the swim team when she is older!

Michele, how do you put so many pictures in one post. Picasa only lets me do 4. Anyway, I like the last picture of you guys in the pool. It is so cute how Claire has her hand on your face. She loves her mommy!
Very nice family pictures, Michele. What a great family experience for Ben's grandpa's 80th birthday celebration! Sue really "pulled it off". Darling picture of all three of you in the pool. Claire and Caroline had their first swimming pool experiences this week and both found it to be lots of fun!

We will have to get all the babies for a swimming play date this summer!
What a cute picture of the three of you in the pool! It's so neat that Caroline and Claire both just experienced their first time swimming! What are the chances? This summer will be so much fun!
