Sunday

We've been pretty busy lately.
Spent a few days in East Texas.
Brought a Uhaul back.
Friends came up from Austin.
We had a lot of fun.
Harper's newborn pictures were too fun watching Kristen take them.
This weekend was filled of laziness, eating entirely too much and cleaning.
We have stuff put everywhere due to lack of room.













It is Thanksgiving week.

HG is out of school.

We're staying in town.

Play dates, doctor appointments, lots of food, downloading a ton of pictures and family time.

Aunt Collins and Poppy are coming on Thursday.

HG is beyond excited for that.

Christmas shopping is the mind.

3 weeks until a vacation.



Have a great week!

Passed out during tummy time.


Sweet little thing.




Makes you want to scream huh?

Made me drink a shiner bock.




Watching football with dad.


Spent last Saturday at storage and looking at houses in Keller.

The wind made it so cold.

Thank goodness for plently of warm clothes in storage.


Lunch at Babe's.

HG's favorite place ever.



Taking a picture in these chairs are always a must.



Might need a pair for our trip next month.

The girls have them so why not us.



Someone snagged my phone and took all kinds of pictures of her favorite things.


Such a ham.





Napping.


We've had a busy week.

Lots of good things going on right now.

HG had fever for two days.

Harper puked all over me, the bed and herself.

I think she was storing it in her fingers and toes it was so much.

That called for 4 am showers.

House shopping is always so fun.

New neighbors.

New neighbors who didn't pay a pet deposit for their two dogs.

Dinner date with the husband and Harper.

Family dinner date.

Fall clothing out.

Or most of it.

Some Christmas stuff so far.

HG's Christmas shopping is done.

Harper started on Levisin drops.

We're headed to East Texas Sunday.

Today is my Grandfather's birthday.

He is also a Veteran.

Tomorrow we have a birthday party.

33 days until we head on family vacation.






Halloween

We had a nice and some what low key Halloween this year.
Decided on going in Irving since it was close to Aspen Creek.
We started at the in laws and friends came over.
After visiting, trick or treating and some snacks, we headed to dinner.
Turned out to be a lovely evening.

Feels like fall

Things are going smothly around here with the girls.
HG had a rough day at soccer.
We left and said we'd give it a try again next week.
Apple pies and cheeseburgers made us both feel better.

My friend Toni came to meet Harper this morning.
She is seriously the nicest person I've ever know.
We've known each other forever.
She has two precious twin girls.

Jenna and Jax came yesterday.
HG was so excited to have someone over to play.
Jax is too cute and always so good when he is over.
I was happy to have some adult time with Miss Jenna.
She has adorable and cute boys but I'm sure she enjoyed holding a princess.
There is just something about newborns.

Speaking of newborns.
I forgot how much the poop.
Holy cow.
I forgot the breast fed poop.
wow.
All my cloth diapers are just chillin'.
I'm hoping she can fit into some of the new born prefold soon.

HG had a busy day today.
School. Mrs. Carols. Soccer. Burgers. Play doh. NO bath, we both passed out by 7 in my bed.
A water bottle and 2 milk boxes right before we crawled in bed was sure to leave my sheets wet.
Clean sheets, full of pee.

I've said this many times but I keep reminding myself how Blessed I am with my girls.
I want to scream it from the roof tops.
God knew what he was doing when he added Harper to our family.
Next week, last year (if that makes sense) I had my HSG.
I had weekly blood work.
I cried every cycle, usually mid cycle because I knew if I ovulated or not.
I had just about given up all hope.
I knew the date we would start talking IUI's and IVF's.
It scared me.
Many families don't believe in the fertility treatments.
Not sure I was willing to go through all of it emotionally.
Then my body started doing what it was supposed to thanks a miracle drug.
Then my SIL and I found out we were expecting days apart.
My niece was born on my due date in September.
My body just wasn't ready and strong enough.
Every time I look at Harper, I am so thankful for her.
It reminds me of the losses, the struggles and the happiness all at one time.
I wonder if those babies would have looked like Harper or HG.
But one thing is I will never forget how amazing it is creating life.
How lucky we are that we are blessed with children.
Healthy children.
I've cried so many happy tears for Harper.
Oh so many.
I look at Harper differently.
Like she is more fragile.
Like she might disappear if I stop looking.
I have had nightmares and just stay awake the rest of the night watching her.
She is a true miracle.
Oh goodness, I love looking at her and I am forever thankful of my little miracle.

I am forever thankful that God chose to give HG a baby sister, her dream come true.



HG's first boy crush.
Riler.
His name is so special around our house.
He just happens to be her friend Kalli's big brother.
First little girl crushes are too cute.











HG has the cutest and sweetest class.



The other moms are pretty great too!





What Halloween and a brownie will do to you.





Gross.



Snow Angels on the dirty floor.



Makes me throw up a little in my mouth but I threw her in bed and bathed her in the morning.



Ha, yes I washed the sheets too.




Everyone knows how we love our dessert around here.



Play hard, eat well.





Enjoys Harper's little headbands.



That are entirely too small for HG's head.








She is really into Zebra.



Mia is giving her big girl zebra bedding for her new room.



Not sure if I am ready for the zebra, I love her little pink, greens and whites.
