Fall Fun, Thanksgiving, and Holiday card photo shoot


Harper and Leah~Pizza Night!

Notice the spot under his left eye...
After using one of those long Bic lighters to light the candle of our pumpkin,
Silas pulled the lighter to his face and singed the virgin skin under his eye.
 My Mother of the Year award is being engraved.
Their first bath time together
It actually rains in So Cal-Harper was so excited to use her umbrella
Her favorite toy; a box car 
Together again, and liking it!


We for got the month 7 picture-poor 2nd child, but here's happy 8 months!

Harper loves (and I mean LOVES) "doing workout"-2 minute wall sit anyone
Nanna and Nanno came for Thanksgiving week.  Harper loved sharing her room and extended bed with Nanna and both kids loved the extra attention.

Outside the Long Beach ice sculptures near the Queen Mary
On the Queen Mary
Our trip to Catalina Island, tooling around in our golf carts
Nanna & Nanno were cold 
Harper took this pictures-convenient how Silas didn't make the cut ;)
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas-I wish I could have gotten a picture of Harper's expression when she woke up from her nap to find this wreath..."Oh. My. Gosh!" was her exclamation, but the face was priceless.

Harper's first hair cut...not super pleased during...
...but a happy camper after.
We have a stand-er, crawler, mover, and shaker
Just the beginning
We got our Elf on the Shelf this year.  He brought a special North Pole breakfast of hot chocolate and iced donuts.  We decided to call him Clementine after almost naming him "No" (Harper's favorite word lately).
Harper & Silas also got their own tree in their room (our old tree since we got a real one this year).

And we're done!
Mommy got a new sports bra and running shoes-don't they look great!


Merry Christmas to all!  We feel so lucky!

A mermaid and a lobster~Halloween 2012

Family pumpkin carving.
This was the first of 3-pumpkins rot a lot faster in the CA sun.



Togetherness is working more and more each day :)

Harper loves working out with my Beach Fit Moms class.
She was ecstatic to get a chance on the rower! Look at her go!
