Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens

Today we went to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens and played in their children's area. It was the first time that we had visited and it was great. I was glad I had my camera because we got some pretty good shots of Eve, Mae and Harper. For whatever reason I couldn't get the edited versions of these pictures to upload so these are just the pictures as I took them.

Virginia Beach

This past weekend our homegroup from church went to Virginia beach. We had a great time relaxing with our friends and eating way too much. Here's a cute picture of Harper and Hatch. I tried to do a little photo shoot of Harper, but Harper refused to cooperate. I only got one decent picture.

Chicago

Sadly, we don't have many pictures from our trip to Chicago this past weekend. It was cold and rainy, and since Harper and I spent most of our days shopping while Chris was at his conference, there wasn't a whole lot to take pictures of. We did get this funny picture of Harper eating Chicago style pizza. It seems like every meal she puts her hands in her hair (which makes me crazy) but this meal was particularly messy. No, that's not blood on her head, it's tomato:) Sometimes it's really hard not to laugh at your child when they are being bad.

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. The Kennedys came over on Saturday to hunt eggs which was a blast. On Sunday afternoon, we went over the the Walkers for a fabulous Easter Dinner. Here are some pictures from both.

BeeBee and Granddaddy

Last week my parents were in Richmond and that means LOTS of pictures. I tend to forget to take my camera places, but when my parents are here they remind me. I guess purple must be Harper's favorite color, because she didn't even notice ALL the yellow flowers around her. She only wanted to play with the little purple ones.

Bruster's Ice Cream is Harper's new favorite place. Her favorite part is the cone which makes for some MESSY eating! We have to remind her to take a bite of the ice cream every now and then before it falls in her lap. That too is a messy endeavor since by that time there is a huge whole in the bottom of the cone.
BeeBee and Granddaddy gave Harper a stroller for her babies and she loves it. She likes being a little mommy.
These pictures are from her gymnastics class. Some of you have wondered what a 15 month old does at gymnastics, so here are some pictures. I would like to note that Harper's figure doesn't lend itself to tucked in shirts very well, but they work best for gymnastics. Mom can't stand it, but otherwise her shirt ends up around her head.

Bubble Bath

Chris always puts LOTS of bubble in Harper's bath, and tonight she looked like Santa with white hair and a beard. Here's a video clip, "ho ho ho" and all.

Has it been a whole month?

Sorry that I let a whole month slip by without posting. I get really upset when I keep checking the blogs I check and there haven't been any postings. Here are some pictures of Miss Priss from February.
