Today is Harper's Birthday!

Today Harper is 4! I can't believe it! Here are pictures of her first three... I *hope* to get one of number 4 later today. Happy Birthday, Harper! We love you for always and forever.

An Early Birthday with Nai Nai and Poppy!

Last weekend, Nai Nai and Poppy came to visit and celebrate Harper's early birthday. It was a little cold, but we did the sun did come out and we attempted the corn maze again. We even managed to find all the check points. (Dan was most pleased about that.)
We had a great time! Thanks, Nai Nai and Poppy!

Corn Maze

We visited the corn maze in Weybridge again this year. It was a lot of fun and we hope to do it again before the snow flies!

Balloon Festival

First let me start off by saying Blogger is really irritating me right now! I can't seem to move my pictures into the order I would like so I am giving up.

That being said, these pictures were taken back in August at the Balloon Festival held at the Shelburne Museum. It was a beautifully colorful day.

(My apologies for being so far behind! I do have more pictures coming soon!)

The First Day of School!

Harper has successfully completed her first day of school!
She was excited to go this morning, not so excited to see me leave, according to one of her teachers she went between stubborn and shy all day (I am SO not surprised), and then when I picked her up she told me all kinds of crazy stories.
Right now she just can't stop taking so she doesn't seem traumatized... as to what really happened?
I have no idea.
Maybe I'll find out tomorrow. :)

VACATION!!!

Last week we were in Rockport, Massachusetts on vacation with Nai Nai and Poppy. We had an excellent time and Rockport is such a beautiful place.
The first day we were there was a little wet due to Tropical Storm Danny. (Dan was annoyed yet somehow proud of all the rain since he had a storm named after him. The rest of us were just... annoyed.)

The second day we took the train into Boston for the day and went to the aquarium. Then we spent some time in Quincy Market and just walked around while we waited for our return train. Harper met her new friend, Mogwallace (she named him herself) at the aquarium. She insisted to Dan that Mogwallace wanted to meet her other 'friends' so he had to come home with us. We also enjoyed ice cream and Harper was fascinated with a 'moving' statue. (If you gave him a dollar he would give you a scroll with your fortune on it.)

The rest of our stay was spent at the beach. The majority of the time we plunked ourselves down at Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester which was SO beautiful and we did spend a day at Wingaersheek Beach, also in Gloucester which was also a lot of fun. Harper loved playing in the sand and surf. So much so, that she fell asleep while eating dinner one night.

Good times.
