Granny Wilson visit

Granny Wilson just came to visit us for a long weekend and boy did we have a good time with her! We went to the playground and rode the train, Harper got her first haircut, Daddy finished her sandbox so we got to play in it, we had an "almost" Birthday celebration and Granny got to experience a crazy toddler playdate first hand! Harper loves her personal playmate...she better watch out for Gibson though, I think when he gets old enough they might be fighting for Granny's attention...but we all know she has enough love to go around, we love you Granny!

1st day of school

On January 5th Harper had her first day of preschool! She will be attending a 2 day s week program from 9-1:30. Harper's teacher's are Miss Kari and Miss Gweneth and they are lovely people. She has 9 classmates and they are all feisty little 2 year olds! Harper will be reading, doing projects, having music time, playing outside, planting a garden...she is going to have so much fun! The teacher's are already calling her Miss Independent (in a good way)...that's my daughter! :) We are looking forward to watching her grow through this program.

New Years Eve 2011

We spent New Years Eve at The Robinson's. The Robinson's are a family of 5 that includes 3 young boys. Harper likes hanging out with "the boys" like she is one of them...she follows them around and wants to do what they are doing, it's really cute to watch. Harper wasn't so sure about the noisy fireworks that the neighbors set off all night so we spent a lot of time inside...but she did enjoy the quiet sparklers! Happy New Year!

Christmas 2011 highlights...

So sorry for the delay on this post, I just don't know where the time goes. We spent the holidays in Austin this year, I am not going to lie, it was nice to be able to stay home and not have to travel with 2 young kids. Grandma & Grandpa Lucas came for a quick visit right before Christmas and we had a lot fun hanging out and watching Harper open gifts. Harper, Grandma and I also had fun decorating Christmas cookies. On Christmas Eve we went to a friend's house for dinner and spent the evening playing with the kiddos, enjoying good food and drinks and enjoying each other's company. Christmas day was perfect. We spent the entire day in our pj's, we cooked a nice dinner, we watched Harper happily spend all morning open her presents at a leisurely pace, it really couldn't have been any better. We really enjoyed the Christmas season this year, Harper had fun learning about Santa and his reindeer, probably sang Rudolph and Jingle Bells a bazillion times and loved seeing all the houses decorated for Christmas! We hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas, we sure did.

Harper vs. Gibson @ 5 months

5 months old

Our little stinker appears to be teething already (although the teeth aren't even close to cutting through yet), he is getting more content in the exercauser and on the playmat (mommy is very thankful for that), he loves watching his sister eat and play and he appears to be starting to sleep through the night (let's hope this continues). Happy 5 months G-man!

Pictures...

Until I find the time to blog about Christmas I will provide some cute pics of the kiddos to keep you happy until then! :-)
