Melt my heart

Last night Harper and I were hanging on the couch, eating graham crackers and singing songs when all the sudden she leans over, smooches me on the mouth, says "mwah" followed directly by "wuv you." I almost cried it was so sweet. I wuv you too pumpkin head.

Ah Ceam

If you haven't yet eaten at Jason's Deli I would highly reccomend it. They have delicious, nutricious food. Plus, you get free soft serve ice cream. You can see how happy this makes our little pumpkin head.

After she eats we get to hear "All Done. Ah Cream!"

Mommy Broke

This is one of our favorite bed time stories.

As soon as we got it home from the library, Harper wanted to dig right into the story causing the rip you can see in the poor blue dust bunny.

As a dutiful mom, I exclaimed "Oh No. It broke. That was an accident. Mommy will fix it."

Now every night when we read it we get this commentary from Harper...

"Oh No! Broke. Mommy Broke"

Great...way to place the blame on me pumpkin head.

New Ink

With the good advice of my readers I decided to go with the pumpkin blossom tattoo. It only took and hour and a half, which surprised me. I got it between my shoulder blades and it looks really sweet.

Weekend of firsts

As Harper continues to grow into a little girl we are enjoying more firsts. This weekend we had her hair cut for the first time. She ate her first French fry (she always refused them before). She tromped through the snow for the first time. And she joined us at the table like a big girl. All in one weekend. Time is definitely flying by too fast.

I got yelled at...

by several people for slacking at the blog updates. Sorry. Well, not really. I've been reading a lot lately which I have totally enjoyed, so my kindle has become my electronic device of choice. The fact that I can check out books for free from the library has kept me and my wallet well stocked.

An unexpected snow day afforded me a free Friday to hang with Harper. We played a lot, visited daddy at work, went to the library and had mexican for dinner. So for all of you who only check this page for Harper pics (mom) here's a fix for ya.

We need your vote

Joe and I decided not to really get anything for each other for Christmas. We had adopted a family and put the money toward that instead. So come Christmas morning, we found that we had each purchased the other a pretty lame gift. Of course then the argument ensued of who's gift was in fact the lamest. This is where you come in. Please vote on which gift you think is the lamest... Measuring cups vs. reversible belt. The winner will have bragging rights for a week.

P.S. Chris, you need to vote.
