Spring Festival

This time of year is so fun with cool weather and lots of festivals outside and free for us to enjoy!

A Texas Springtime Tradition ~ Bluebonnets

Free fun at the park

Grammy called d to meet at the park and we did!  Jared and Mason came along too for some soccer, playground time, throwing rocks and feeding the ducks.

Playtime

They really do play well together- most of the time- well when J is not sitting on her and H is not hitting him!  H likes to grab J cars.  J likes to play with H purse.  H likes to slide and J likes to lay on top of her.  H likes to go from one toy to the next and J likes to take his time with his toy of the hour.  And sometimes- on occasions, they will play with the same toy together in a loving way (not often, but enough for me to capture a pic and a memory).  

Harper ness

She is one busy girl- non stop, so independent, a little moody if she doesn't nap well, loves her brother, will pass me up to get to Dada, and loves to come running with her arms up high to give her good hugs and put her head on your shoulders! 

 Love her tiny toes!

 She really does find all these places on her own!  

 Always asking to read a book to her.  She will come right to your lap and put her junk down.

 Yep, she found this place too- 

 And SHE loves to play in this cabinet!  

 

And this is her cleaning her face-putting the wippee in her mouth!

NYC

Rick and I had our first vacation without kids for more than one night in the City that never sleeps!!!  We enjoyed 4 days and 3 nights of fun, sightseeing, eating, staying up late, sleeping in, seeing musicals, hanging with my friend Nancy and enjoying one of our favorite cities!!!!  We are very grateful to Allison who kept Thing 1 and 2 for us and helped us Skype with them everyday!  We figured out this was my 7th time and Rick's 6th time to NYC, so we just focused on things we really wanted to see and do since we have done so many other tourists stuff on other trips.
