Harper wanted in on the action

Aunt Mandi was really sweet and planned a birthday party for Judah on the night of her wedding rehearsal. He had a Thomas themed table and cake (which he loved) and got to open his presents. He had so much fun.
I always thought that we had gotten so "lucky" avoiding the terrible twos but they waited to show up right when Judah turned three. He has quite the sassy mouth (like his mother) and is definitely into some boundary pushing. He has more energy than anyone I know and the only time that his mouth is not moving is when he is asleep. He has questions about everything and is very into making up stories right now (mostly involving guns and snakes after I told him a story about my dad. Yikes!)

Wedding fun

Happy Harper

My sister-in-law, Mandi, got married in mid-December. I was a bridesmaid, JM performed part of the ceremony, and Harper and Judah were honorary ring-bearer and flower girl. I ended up singing a duet with JM during the ceremony after Julie was attacked by a stomach bug and couldn't come :-(. The kids looked so cute in the wedding finery that Aunt Mandi got them. My mom also came down and helped with the kids so I wouldn't have to miss any of the fun. Thanks, Mom! We had a great time and the wedding was wonderful!

Missing Judah (back to the future)

Silly boy!

Work on puzzles

Judah has been visiting his grandparents in Alabama - it has been two weeks since John Mark saw Judah and nine days since I saw him. We have decided that is way too long! Aunt Mandi and Uncle Chris are delivering him back to us today - we are so excited!

We spent the first part of our Christmas celebrations in Silverhill celebrating Mandi's wedding. Judah thought it was great to get presents all month long.

Breakfast with Santa

Turn up your Christmas music because I am finally getting around to updating the blog! That's right, folks, early December pictures here. Please excuse my tardiness by feasting your eyes on the cutest kids around (forgive my bias).

More pics of Harper

I wanted to finally post the stats from Harper's nine-month check-up (back in January). I know I missed the Christmas pics, but they are coming. They have adjusted her Prevacid (again) and she is back to sleeping and we are very grateful!
