Running Behind

Okay it's the story of my life, I am running behind on my weekly posts. :) Anyway not too much going on. Last weekend we went to Connor Beard's baseball game. He did great, at least 2 big hits and great defense, and they won...way to go Mets. Saturday Ty had a game (beat the only team that has beaten them so far), we got rabies shots for the animals, and then dinner at Boccacia with the McGowans. Sunday after church we got two dwarf frogs for the kids so they would quit asking about getting a snake. They are enjoying the frogs but already asking for the snake again. No pics this week, I was too lazy to take pictures and my camera needed to be charged. I will take some this weekend though. Should be a fun week, hope yours is too!

Stop and Smell the Orchids

This past Thursday my parents came down to watch Ty play baseball. It was nice to catch up with them and also take them to Signal Mountain nursery and Lines Orchids. We had never been in Lines before (I pass it all the time since I live about 3 miles from it) but it was so nice to go in to their greenhouses and see so many pretty orchids. Although orchids do not have much of a smell (like my title suggests), this was a nice reminder to slow down and absorb all of our blessings.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

This past weekend was really nice. We started it off with Pie Slinger's pizza at home (yummy) on Friday night, then Josh's parents came to visit on Saturday and see Ty's game (they won and Marley had a bloody nose), then Pastaria for lunch, and on Sunday we went to a Lookouts game.

Spring Break

One of our friends looks at our blog and is disappointed that I do not update it regularly. He has suggested that I update it every Monday, so we will see how that goes.

Last week was Spring Break. We went to the Creative Discovery Museum on Saturday, then to Muscle Shoals on Monday and Tuesday with Josh (the weather was nice and we could use the cool pool), then to the Chattanooga Zoo, Wednesday we had friends/neighbors over for Easter activities, Thursday to Atlanta to visit the Masters, go to Stone Mountain, go to the Atlanta Zoo, back home on Saturday for the Easter egg hunt at Alexian, and then we went to church on Sunday. Ty has gotten use to doing something big everyday and I think he is going to be let down when summer break comes. :)

Thanks to the Masters for hosting us! We had a great time visiting with you all and thanks for taking us to Stone Mountain, it was great! Now what will the next Harper adventure be? Stay tuned until next Monday for the weekly update!! :)

Powerman Alabama

This past weekend we went to Birmingham, AL for Marley, Ty and Josh to do the Powerman Duatalon (run, bike, run). Marley had fun, but finished last. She was more concerned about what she was wearing than where she placed. Ty went next and he did really well and was in to it. Then we went to the Lego store and then back to the hotel for swimming. The next day Josh had his race and he did great. I am so proud of all 3 of them!

Visiting with Nana & Papa!

Last Sunday, Nana and Papa came to visit us. They read with the kiddos and took them to Walmart to buy Ty some baseball stuff and of couse Marley got something too. :) Thanks Nana and Papa for coming to visit with us and for Ty's baseball stuff!!

Sweet Times Being a Mom

One of the things I LOVE about being a mom is the snuggle times with the little ones. As they get older there is less snuggle time and you have to take it whenever you can get it. One of the best times is right after a nap when they are still tired and cold. Here I am with my Mezzy Moe snuggle bug, I hope I never ever forget times like these!!!
