Not too much longer until we meet Anna Claire

Last night we ate dinner with our friends Eric & Mandy Grau. Above is a picture of Mandy & Anna Claire. She is due on April 16th but since she is already 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced, she could go any day now. Eric & Mandy, thanks for having us over for dinner last night and we can't wait to meet your new daughter!!

Girls' Weekend!!

This past weekend Amy, her daughter Macy, and Marley & I went to Dawsonville, GA to go shopping. We went down Friday and ate at the Cheesecake Factory (yummy) and then got up early and shopped ALL day Saturday. It was lots of fun, but we spent way too much money. Thanks Amy & Macy for taking us & to Josh for taking care of Ty & funding the trip! Here's Amy wheeling in our precious cargo.
The girls even had some spare time to play patty cake.
Mom are you done shopping yet?!There are more pics to the left in the photo album.

Fire Trucks & Ambulance...wheow!

On Friday morning Ty, Marley and I went to the Signal Mtn. Fire station for a tour. It was great, they let Ty climb all over the fire trucks, ambulance, and even act like he was sqirting Gavin with the hoses. This was a great outing for him since he has come to love these trucks as they fly by our home with their sirens on heading toward Alexian.
Ty was very excited to see the ambulance up close. See more pics in the newest photo album to the left.

Easter Weekend

Praise God for a risen Saviour! Our family has had a great Easter week and we hope you did also. We went to the zoo with the Beards, we've hunted eggs, cooked our first turkey, had a visit by the Easter bunny (Curt), went to a baby dedication, and much, much more. To see all our pics, go to the "Easter" album to the left.
On Saturday Ty did the Easter egg hunt at Alexian with all of our friends and neighbors. While we were there we (Ty and I) guessed on how many jelly beans were in the container and Ty ended up winning this BIG basket!!
Here is Ty & Marley in there Sunday best. We went to our church before heading to Dallas Bay to see Macy's baby dedication. Thanks to the Beard's for all the Easter goodies and lunch!











Ty and I dyed Easter eggs on Friday and I turned for half a second and he ate one of the dyeing tablets. I took a picture of what it looked like on the front end, but not on the back end, if you get my drift.
Ty has absolutley been cracking us up. Here's a picture of him a few minutes after Josh put him to sleep. He fell asleep reading his "tractor book."

Happy St. Patty's Day

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! Marley is wearing a shirt that use to be Ty's, in this picture. Not too much is going on at the Harper household. This weekend we did go to the CD Museum with the Beards, but I forgot to take my camera.
This is one of my favorites, it's a picture of Josh dancing with both the kids.
Josh went to get Ty up from a nap the other day and he found him asleep like this in his chair. :)

Tiffany & Anna Kate

Today we met Tiffany & Anna Kate at Panera. Tiffany is a friend of mine that I used to work with at TVA and she nows lives in Chicago. We met her, her beautiful little girl (that is a month older than Marley)and her sister and her son, for a late breakfast. It was nice to catch up!!

Snow on Signal

Saturday morning we got some snow and of course we had to have a little snow ball fight. After that we went to meet Anna Kate for the first time. She is as pretty as all of the pictures...I hate that I forgot my camera. And on Sunday we went to Mandy's Baby Shower. It was great and she got a lot of good stuff!
This weekend my parents brought my grandmother down here to visit with us. She had a good time, even though she was ready to leave not long after they got here (you know how older people are). And mom cooked some delicious food while they were here.
Ty has been feeling a little under the weather, so we went to BK and got him some french fries and this cool crown. Also he's the one that pulled it over his mouth, not us. :)

BIG Weekend!!

On Saturday night we had a baby shower for the Grau's. Here is a picture of us putting a new twist on an old baby shower game. :) Anyway we really enjoyed celebrating with the Grau's and thanks to everyone that came and helped out. Oh to see more pictures of the entire weekend, click on the Baby Shower link to the left.
I really liked this picture...I thought it summed up Mandy and Eric's personalitys just right (you will have to ask Mandy about the game).








Saturday after Josh's 1/2 marathon, Curt came over and visited with us and played a lot with Ty. Ty hated to see him leave, so did we.
On Friday, my friend from college, Sonja, and her two children came to visit and spend the night. We went to the Creative Discovery Museum (where Ty and I had World War III and I ended up using his stroller as a straight jacket, see photo album) and also had dinner with Mandy, Richard & Lindsey Suttles.
Weekend before last Josh, Marley & I went to a cabin in Copperhill with some friends from Atlanta. We had a great time just hanging out!
Well that was our weekend. It was a lot of fun, but we had to rest up on Sunday. The kids are doing fine. Ty is doing well although he had two major tantrums last week (sorry to all of you that witnessed them). Both tantrums were the result of not being able to share and he also tried to bite Lula...arrghh. Marley is also doing the typical baby stuff and starting to stretch her sleep out again (she decided she wanted to visit with me more at night a couple of weeks ago).
