Egg Hunt...kind of

Here is a little video of Harper "hunting" eggs at the park. It was freezing, so along with her dress she also has on leggings, socks and tennis shoes and a hat, none of which match. However, I feel this is a good representation of Harper and all her glory!

Easter

Easter. The event started the day before when we attended the church run Community Egg Hunt in Tower Grove Park (A park near our house.) It had rained the entire day before, and despite the sun on this day, the park was wet and muddy. It took Harp all of two minutes to fall and get dirty, and it was at that point (i have to admit) I turned to Jeff and said "this may not be worth it." However, we stayed. I don't know how to explain Harper in open space, it's like a caged animal being released into the wild. She runs. And runs. And runs some more. With no purpose of where she is going. And like I said previously, it was wet and muddy, so much of Harper's running also turned to Harper falling. She didn't seem to care (our little linebacker doesn't cry much) so we got over it also. She didn't really care about the eggs until Jeff showed her that there was some sort of prize in them (Her favorite were the fruit snacks, the runner up were the stickers).

Easter Sunday. After church, a nap for Harper and some cooking, we headed over to Nick and Kim's for a great meal and company. Without family nearby it is always great to have good friends to share a holiday with and the Kuntz' are those people! After we ate we walked over to the park so Harp could play and we could have a little make-shift egg hunt. We filled the eggs with Cheerios, graham crackers, and chocolate chips. (The Chocolate was her fav!)


Harper's Easter Basket filled with books, stickers, soap in the shape of a duck (she is obsessed with ducks!) some eggs, and a little duck that quacks when you press on it. Harper's present to Dada; a new tie and a colored picture of her and baby brother (if they were bunnies). I may have helped a little. Harper getting into her basket.

Her lamb ears. We found these at Hobby Lobby. After we (yes, we) shopped in them; I couldn't help but buy them for her.

Our Silly Little Girl

Just a quick little video of Harper being silly, like usual. 

Hangin' Out With Harp

Harp and I have great mornings together. We eat breakfast, watch a little Backyardigans, read some books, and do some morning chores. Being 6 weeks away from giving birth to baby #2 (YIKES!) I try to spend as much time having fun with her as possible. These are a couple random pictures of one such morning. The girl won't sit still, so it's hard to get a good pic!

Harp got these scrubs from my Dad and Allie (Papa and Nana), although she looks terribly cute in them, her dad might have some reservations about this being her future! (Med School is hard.) 
Intensely coloring and "stickering." (Her newest hobby)
Harp and Mama.
The finished project. 

Bathing Beauty

Our Beautiful little Peanut doing one of her favorite things: taking a bath! (And yes, our bathroom is pink!)

We have known for a long time that Harper is a little jokester. She loves getting a laugh or a rise out of us (hmmm...who is that like? "cough, cough.. Jeff") She has even gone so far as to make herself throw up, because she thought it was funny that I didn't want her to shove her hand down her throat (natural consequence I guess). In this video Harper is at it again; sticking her face in the water over and over, and once again natural consequences prevail. 

Don't worry Grandparents, no grandchild was harmed during this filming!
