The Harris Family: February 2009

Ok- I know its been almost 2 months since my last post...I know I am a bad blogger!!

Anyway...lots has happened since my last post!

First off- Christmas was SO MUCH FUN! SK really got into the whole Santa thing this year. We had our Elf on the Shelf out (his/her name became Zoe this year)and she really loved finding it each morning. Robert is great at hiding the Elf since he can reach higher places than I can. Miss. Hadley could have cared less about the Christmas happenings, but SK wanted to make sure Santa brought her stuff too, so of course Santa went all out for both girls (thanks Santa!) Christmas Eve we went to our new church here in Marietta and fell in love with their Christmas Eve service. They do a nativity using the kids from the church- SK was an angel. Sweet, Sweet service! After church on Christmas Eve we went home to open one gift, after that it was night night time (Santa needs some time to get things ready). Christmas morning was CRAZY, but fun! After breakfast we loaded up and headed to Dalton. We celebrated with my family then and the Harris clan on the Sunday after (we like to extend the holiday for as long as possible). SK got all she asked for, some highlights were her "exercise bike", camera, art easel and Bitty Baby. Poor Hadley got a Bumbo Seat and some other assorted things just so SK wouldn't worry too much about her not getting anything. Christmas was wonderful!!

Since then we have been crazy with life as usual, rang in the New Year with friends and really "got this party started" thanks to Will. SK got back in the swing of things at school and Mommy was ready for school to start too! Had SK's teacher conference a week or so ago, the teacher assures me that while SK may not be the most academic child in the class, she is for sure one of the most fun! She is the life of the party/class! I just hope she gets some of Robert's personality/booksmarts too! Swimming lessons have started back and SK is in the same class as Davis and Alexis- if that doesn't spell trouble I don't know what does! They are all doing great- Davis is a natural fish and they girls are natural girls (going through the motions till they can get to the side of the pool to talk). SK also switched back to our old Ballet school in Smyrna, she was so excited to be back with her old friends from Smyrna and is really enjoying ballet much more- thanks Miss. Kate!! Grammy has been a regular visitor/babysitter to allow Robert and I to have some grown up time. We started a monthly "supper club" with 3 other couples and kicked it off with dinner at Houston's- it was a blast and we look forward to many more!! Hadley had her 4 month doc visit and was a whopping 14lbs 3.2 oz, 25 1/2 inches- just like her big sis was at 4 months- its crazy how close in size they are ( they are twins just 3 year apart). She still has her big blue eyes and they seem to be staying that way for now. She is the sweetest baby ever- so happy and easy going. We have been so blessed!

We have lots of exciting things ahead of us this Spring...Hadley's Baptism, Amber's TN Girls Weekend in Feb and a Disney Cruise in March.

Here are some pics...
