Dan called me today on his way home from work. I was upstairs and didn't get to the phone fast enough. Harper answered it, talked to Dan and then brought the phone upstairs to me. She was very proud of herself.
So if you call our house and something doesn't seem quite right... it is because my secretary is taking messages for me. Good luck!
Here she is proofreading some of my work.
So Harper and Dan did a little bit of skiing at Sugarbush today. They rode the 'Welcome Mat' up to the top of the bunny hill and did a few runs. Harper seemed to like it... until she decided she wanted to go eat something. Anyway, progress was made and Dan was really pleased that he may have a legitimate ski buddy in a few years.
Here is a picture Harper drew on her chalkboard. She told me it was Pooh and Piglet. I think it's pretty good!
I was tagged by Casey and here is what I am supposed to do.
1. Go to your picture folder & select the sixth folder.
2. Select the sixth picture in the folder.
3. Tag six people....
Here is my 6th picture.
Luckily for me at the beginning of 2007 I started organizing photos by month and year so the 6th folder ended up being my 2007 July folder. (Perhaps it should be luckily for you, because this picture could have just as easily been a picture of my feet, the back of Dan's head, or the south end of a cat heading north.)
This photo is Harper eating a cupcake on the anniversary of when we met her in China. I still don't know what to call that day. Some people call it "Gotcha Day", some call it "Family Day", neither of those seems right to me. I think for us it is more like, "The Anniversary Of The Day We Met And Fell in Love With You Forever And It Changed Our Lives So We Never Get To Sleep Anymore So Sometimes It Feels Like Our Heads Are Going To Explode, But In A Good Way Day."
But I can never find a card for that and it seems hard to write on a cake...
I am going to change the rules on this a little and instead of choosing 6 people to tag, I am going to open it up to anyone who wants to add it to their blog. Have fun!
Now that Harper is three she has decided that she is in charge. Of everything. Trying to get a picture of her or a simple video message to post has been a real test of wills. At one point I was frustrated and had to walk away for a bit, you know give myself a time out and all. Then after realizing that it was much to quiet and that is always a sign of not good things, Dan and I returned to find Harper sitting on the desk (not at, on...) in front of the computer, with post-it notes stuck all over the monitor. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was, 'posting messages on the computer.' She had written gibberish (she said they were everyone's name) on most of the post-it notes with orange highlighter.
There was one note that did have a real word... Sorry Popo this one was yours. :)
Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day!
