Random Photo Catchup

Rarely a day goes by when we don't take a picture of Harper! (What can we say, we think our little piglet is pretty cute). Since one of the purposes of this blog is to serve as a "baby book," I wanted to include as many of these pictures as possible. Here is a little random photo update.

Baby Swap! Hanging out with Avary and Jon Knokey

Playing with "my first purse" from Grandma Reeves

Hesburgh making sure he got his share of floor playtime

Playtime

Contorting herself out of her bumbo - she refuses to sit straight in it (even with the tray on)

Rolling around on the exam table at her 4 month checkup

Two patients - Daddy traveled the night of Harper's first shots and Mommy's first root canal - Hesburgh took care of us both

Trying on my winter hat

Lounging on the bed (resting my feet on Hesburgh)

Prepared for a run (there aren't many more outdoor run days left)

Check out my leg warmers!

"I've had enough".... this is what mommy found when she got out of the shower! Can't leave this little one alone too long!

Walking Hesburgh on his 4th birthday

Mommy calls this "I don't need no stinking naps".... Harper refuses to give in to a nap schedule (or any sort of significant crib nap) - so she crashes in random places

Look at these cool toes!

Hesburgh getting some loving from Grandma Reeves

Day one in my new Pooh bouncer! (After it took mommy and daddy forever to put it together!)



Fall Fun!

Fall is my favorite season and we are definitely making the most of it this year. So far we have traveled to Oil City for the Baptism, traveled to ND for a game, celebrated Harper's first Halloween and had a visit from Grandma Reeves!

We had a great time during our trip to ND. Harper and mommy met the Drelick grandparents in South Bend on Wednesday night and then Daddy met them there on Friday night after work. It was great to see them and enjoy a nice Notre Dame weekend. Harper even attended her first game (like her mom, she is getting started early with the ND love!). Below are a few pictures from the trip and game.

"Easing into our morning" at the hotel

Strolling around campus

Playing with gramps in LaFortune (student center)

Meeting the Leprechaun in the Monogram Room pre-game

Yay! Touchdown Irish!

This football game stuff is tiring! Sleeping at Halftime!

Family shot (even though you can't tell we are at the game!)



The Monday after we returned to the Twin Cities was Halloween! Although Harper couldn't enjoy the candy (and miraculously mom and dad were able to stay away from it) she did get in the spirit. She dressed in her costume for playgroup and then visited the neighbors house before coming home to give out candy. She was a pink bunny (to match her favorite buddy, her pink bunny).

On our way to stroller strides in our pumpkin suit

Halloween Playgroup is exhausting!

Harper the Pink Bunny with two of her favorites - Daddy and her own pink bunny

Happy Halloween!

All smiles (even though we later discovered her hat was on backwards)

Ok, get me out of this thing! Getting ready for bed with Hesburgh and Daddy!

Things don't slow down for us at all now that it is November. Over the next two months we are only home for 2-3 weekends. We will soon visit Boston for the annual Tuck friends Pre-Thanksgiving, visit Knightstown for Thanksgiving and the 70th Birthday celebration, visit Chicago for the Drelick girls holiday shopping/visiting weekend, visit Oil City (and maybe Knightstown) for Christmas and make Harper's first trip to Disney World for marathon weekend! Needless to say, it will be a busy time but we are looking forward to experiencing everything with Harper!
