Let the weekend begin!

What a great summer shot. Harper's hair is still so sparse that when she gets hot her hair almost instantly become completely soaked with sweat. You know, sort of the way a balding man's head might look after an afternoon of golfing. Luckily, vanity doesn't exisit at her age and we would still think she was beautiful if her hair were made of trash.

Fourth of July

How do you start your 4th of July off right? With Group Baby Yoga. How do you start off a 4th of July Blog on July 23rd? By saying sorry. We're a little behind around here.

Hope all's well.

Northerly vacation

As I mentioned before, we headed North to Warren, Rhode Island and Boston, Mass to visit with some of our favorite folks in the world. We've all known each other for a very long time and enjoy staying up way too late, talking about old times and wondering how in the world it's possible that we're responsible for adding six little humans to the world. So, our vacations are a bit different than they used to be. Fewer bars, more zoos you get the picture. Here are some highlights. Thank you to the Pipers, Schofields and Morgans for reminding us why it doesn't get any better than y'all.

Harper and George discussing whether or not this zoo was a good representation of the elephant's natural habitat. Millie (left) just being precious which is exactly how she is about 95% of the time.

Harper enjoying a train ride. Something that she has asked to do every single day since we rode on this one.

BP serenading us.
Asher and Harper playing dress-up. I promise this wasn't as disturbing as it looks here.


Safety first, Millie.


We even carved out some time for fishing.


Asher showing me why we have to get a scooter.

Doyle and Harper enjoying some waffles that he prepared for her. Well, I think Sam actually prepared them but Doyle talked about making them for her quite a lot. Very sweet.

Me feeling like I need a vacation from my vacation.

Man, we already miss you guys so much.

The kids got a point...

I recently had to take something away from Harper because it was made of glass and she was acting as if she was going to throw it. I said, "Harper, please give that to me it's not for babies."

She then said as dead-pan as humanly possible, "Mommy, I not a baby I Harper."
