Margot and "Fea Bea"

Here's a picture of Margot and her new ugly doll, Fea Bea. They're big buddies. It's hard to tell in this picture, but they both have two teeth. Yes, Margot already has two teeth! In summary: Hair - zero. Teeth - two.

Walking for a Cure

This past week Harper and I (Dad here) went downtown to take part in the Light the Night Walk, a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It's more than a little moving to see so many people come together to support those whose lives have been touched by blood cancers. Supporters walked with red balloons, survivors walked with white ones and those walking in someone's memory carried a balloon of gold. It was a sad and inspirational sea of balloons bouncing along downtown Nashville and in the mix of all those gold and white, to have little Harper Mae with me anchoring one of the red ones was a touching experience and one that made me grateful beyond words.

(She also carried a bag of Lays and a dirty piece of toy jewelry she found on the ground, but hey, she's three and it was nearly 8 pm...you've gotta keep em interested somehow.)

Anyway, I loved that she came out and took part even if she wasn't altogether sure what it was for. Here's to Harper and a long life of being there for others.

In other news, we accidentally washed Margot last week and didn't realize until we dumped out the laundry basket.
