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!!!

Tea Anyone?

Last Wednesday Ty's class has a tea party at school. I had no idea it was such a big deal, but it was. It felt like I was at a wedding reception! Anyway the purpose of it was to display their manners, which they had been working on at school. It was cute to see them all dressed up!

Let's see what else is going on?
Marley got a new used bike
We got an Xbox which we all like
We no longer have cable
Josh is installing a new window in our bathroom
We are all loving the warm weather

That's it for us, hope all is well with everyone else...Curt. :)
