Harper's Happenings!

So, it has been awhile since I posted about Harper and her crazy, super funny shananigans. A story from a few weeks back...

On Christmas night my dad was driving us home and we were talking about their cat, Vegas. Vegas had just come home from being gone about 4 weeks. We don't know where she went, but probably imagine that she hopped int he back of someone's trailer and got hauled a ways down the road. Anyways...as we were talking, Harper chimed in and started telling what she thought happened to Vegas. She explained how she was probably taken far away, locked in a barn and then...she said, "I'm guessin' she just SLY-FOXED her way out the barn door and that's how she got away!" Sly-foxed???? We all burst in laughter...she is a walking thesauraus.

Harper returned to school on Monday and was ecstatic. She actually laid in bed for over 3 hours on Sunday night before she finally fell asleep. She was so excited to wear her "big girl" outfit to show her friends and teachers.


And...well...school didn't last long. We were out today because of the FRIGID temps...and some of the schools were without electricity. So we all got to stay home today. It was fun, but I think we were all getting used to being back to a normal routine. Oh well, maybe tomorrow?

Tonight, while I was cooking dinner, Harper was playing in her playroom. Richard walked in there to get her for supper and stumpled upon a FABULOUS tea party she had set up for us. It was even complete with place cards. It was too cute to resist, so we just ate our supper in there. So fun!!!

8 Months Young

I say 8 months YOUNG becuase I can't use the word OLD...Owen is just growing up way too fast. As I always say..."Where does the time go?"

{1 in 5 of the Puffs makes it in!}

Owen hit the 8 month mark last week and he is doing fantastic. He had a yucky sinus infection at the beginning of the break...but has recovered nicely. When we took him to the doc awhile back, he weighed in at 15 lbs., 1 oz. WooHooo! We are so excited for him. He has been eating so good and seems to have a hollow leg at times. Just this week he cut his first tooth. It is on the bottom and is still a tiny sliver...but are waiting for it to pop up. He is still working on his professional crawling abilities, but has the ARMY crawl down! His main interests these days are his sister's toys, the dogs, and PUFFS! "Happy 8th Month Birthday" as Harper says!

{Santa brought this shirt for Owen...it is just like the silly shirts his Daddy wears! It says..."Future Math Major...I stick to the formula." Love it!}

The Last Hoorah!!!

We had our final Christmas Celebration yesterday at my Dad's parents house...the farm. We were bummed becuase it was WAY too cold for us to venture outside this time...but we still had tons of fun! Harper played tons of fun games with my cousins and they had her giggling until she was soar. Owen had a good time seeing everyone and an even better time opening presents. I think he finally has gotten the hang of it! Now we will just have to wait until his b-day in April to see if he remembers how! Yesterday was a great end to a WONDERFUL Christmas Season!

Goodbye 2009! Hello 2010!!!
