Welcome to The Claes Family's World Wide Web!
OPEN FOR BUSINESS APRIL 18, 2007. Now that we are Claes Family of 4, we thought it best to consolidate the photo offerings into one easy to access page. We bring you "claes.html" for your enjoyment. This is where marlee.html and harper.html now live. So, Marlee is 3 years old as of 4/21/07 and Harper was born on 4/18/07. The sisters are the daughters of Sean and Jodie Claes in Kyle, Texas.
If interested in some past... the events that led up to Marlee's birth are here, and Harper's pre-birth blog can be found here.
