Less than 12 hours now.....

Yes, in less than 12 hours SK will no longer be an only child! Just one last post before Hadley arrives in the morning (scheduled for 7:15 AM- we have to be at the hospitat at 4:45 am-can we say EARLY!!). Grammy is here to be with SK while we are off at the hospital, so today we took Grammy all around to show her what to do- SK is very excited to have Grammy here at her house for a few days- its a big treat! I'll post as soon as I can with pictures of the newest Harris Girl! Until then, keep us in your prayers!

Here are a couple of pictures of SK from last night when she took her clothes off and put them on Sadie and one when she put her laundry bag over her head... my CRAZY kid!!



Bottom in a bag!

Counting down the days...

Its been a while since I last posted, our week was packed full of fun. Last week was SK's last week as an only child and I promised her it was going to be FUN! The week began with a friend's "Royal Breakfast" birthday party complete with Cinderella!! All the kids had a blast but the girls loved Cinderella the most! SK and her best buddy Alexis were dressed alike in their Cinderella night gowns (all kids were asked to wear their PJ's) and they loved every second of the fun! Sk thought she would get to eat with Cinderella the next day too, like it was going to be a new "regular" thing we did- she was a bit disappointed when I told her no, that this was a special day. On Sunday we celebrated Robert's Mom's and Dad's birthdays with a cookout at our house. Sarah Kate always gets excited when Bob Bob, Nana and Aunt Becca come to visit. Bob Bob taught her how to use his camera and how to smash her face into the window (thanks Bob Bob). On Monday SK had her first ballet class of the year. She is in a new school this year with all new ballet friends. She loves her new teacher, Ms. Irene and Mommy loves that I get to watch on a TV in the lobby. She can hardly wait to go back this week! The rest of the week was spent going to school, getting some new shoes and picking out a special present for Baby Hadley. I let SK pick out a "lovie" for Hadley, she picked a lamb lovie and she said we could call it "Bunny". The funny thing about this is, SK has one like it that is a bunny and she calls it "Lamby"- too cute huh?

We are counting the days (2) and trying to get ourselves ready for Miss. Hadley to make her arrival on Tuesday. I will try to post some pictures if I can from the hospital, but not sure if I'll be able to, so check in just in case. Its crazy to think that in a couple of days we'll have two sweet girls- God is Good!! Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers during this time- we are so excited!!

Here are some pics of the week...

A purple flower on my cheek!

Time to say bye bye!

Beauty School Dropout!

Well its a good thing SK doesn't have the world's best hair yet! The other day she and Jack (new friend at school) decided to play Beauty Shop while their teacher wasn't looking. Her teacher was so worried I'd be mad and I just laughed! Its not too bad actually- if you didn't know it you would think it was part of the "new growth" she has growing in. SK has been "hair challenged" since birth, so this is not a big deal. Here are some pics of the front part that got cut, there are other pieces cut, but its hard to see by picture.

Tomorrow we have a Royal Breakfast to attend- SK's friend is having a breakfast birthday party. She is so excited to get to wear her Princess Nightgown- so stay tuned for new pics soon!


I think the bruise on the forehead is worst than the haircut!

Silly girl!

The whole purpose of this blog is to keep folks posted on our daily lives, so I thought I'd share some recent "funnies" of Sarah Kate. She keeps us laughing and is enjoying her last days as an only child (less than 2 weeks now- but who's counting??).


Each night at bath she turns the bath water a new color- thanks to the bath fizzies- this night it was her favorite color PURPLE!





Last night I went to my monthly "Shoppe Lady" dinner- this is a dinner I go to each month with 3 friends who all worked with me at the Shoppe of Vinings. We are pretty faithful about this dinner and been getting together for over 3 years. The other ladies were so sweet and brought gifts for Baby Hadley and for Big Sis Sarah Kate. When I got home Daddy was still trying to get SK to sleep when she saw the presents and HAD to open them right THEN- so here she is in her bed and PJ's opening presents- it was such a thrill for her to break the rules of bedtime!!


Her new "mean" face...


Silly Princess


Wearing a crown is hard work!


Oh yeah- almost forgot the real funny of the day...Someone decided to cut her hair at school today- I was thinking it wasn't too bad till I really saw how much was gone during her bath. Lets just say we have some new bangs for the Fall season! Pictures to follow...

The New House

Lots of folks have said they wanted to see the new house and wanted me to send pictures out, so here they are. We are finally getting settled in a bit- still nothing on the walls, for some reason this is something I always struggle with and will eventually do ONE DAY. There isn't a picture of Hadley's room because its STILL not ready {I know the clock is ticking (very fast these days)}, but I will get it done before she arrives and if not- then she'll never know. Her bed is up and ready, we have clothes washed for her and diapers and wipes- what more do I really need!?! Anyway, take a look inside the new house and come see it in person soon! We'd love to have the company!!

School Finally Starts!

With 3 weeks and counting till Hadley's arrival Sarah Kate's preschool started this week and not a moment too soon for me! She is in a new school here in Marietta, we were very lucky to get the last spot in the 4 day a week, 3 year old class at the First Presbyterian Church on the Square. This is the same class as SK's buddy Charlie Swanson, now she will at least know one kid in the school. We met the new teachers on Tuesday and had orientation, then school officially started on Wednesday. SK ran right in like she had always gone there- what was I worried about?? She has surprised me with each "change" and I only wish Mommy could adjust to change so well!! She has wonderful teachers this year and I can't wait to watch her learn! Here are some shots of the orientation and the first day- not too many because she was having too much fun for me to take pictures.

Orientation Day was a Rainy One...
