My Two Babies

One of the first things I said when Luke was handed to me was "He looks so much like Harper." These probably aren't the best pictures to compare, but I thought it would be fun to look at Harper and Luke right out of the "oven" (as Jeff would say). Luke's head is obviously smaller, Harper has a dome on her!

The End of The Grandparents...AHHH!

"Hello everyone"
So after weeks of grandparents, we are, as of today, by ourselves! I have a feeling a little "detoxing" will be in order for our Harper; she has been living in a world, of cartoons, toys and balloons (thanks mom, I will now be avoiding the flower section of Schnucks) and someone to say "yes" to her mom's "no." In fact, when I told her she couldn't watch anymore TV today she started crying "ganma, ganma" (we had dropped my mom off at the airport hours before). To be honest, we are all going to go through a bit of withdrawal. Between both moms we could barely take off an item of clothing before it was thrown in the wash, and my fridge, freezer and pantry is stocked with so much food, I literally will not need to go to the grocery store for weeks. Beyond all the practical things however, we will desperately miss the company, and fun times spent together over these few crazy weeks! Thank you moms and dad! We heart you!
