Brings tears to my eyes

I know this may bore many of you but I just got it today and I think it is AMAZING. It made me cry the first time I watch because Maggie did a great job at capturing Harpy's personality.

Thanks Maggie!

Picture Time

We had pictures taken of Harper.



Check them out. I think Maggie did an awesome job.

Back tothe JW

We are heading out in the morning to go back to the JW Marriott in San Antonio. Chris and I will spend one night alone there and then my Mom will bring Harper there on Friday. Things I'm looking forward to:

A five hour drive with Chris listening to music and catching up.

Stopping in West Texas for those awesome kolaches they make.

Stopping in San Marcus for some retail therapy..... Hello Pottery Barn Outlet.


Playing golf with Chris on Friday Morning. It has been well over a year since we last played together.

Spending the weekend with on some my very best friends in the world.

Getting to see my wonderful friend Vadran for the first time since Harper was born. I can't wait to hug her and see her beautiful children. I miss her so much!

Sliding down a water slide at the resort. It makes me feel young again.

Celebrating my birthday on Sunday with some really wonderful people.

Sunday drive through the Texas Hill Country with a little Pat Green and Willie Nelson playing on the stereo.

Houston....... We have a Crawler

Last night Harpy crawled for the first time. It is so funny to watch her do it. I know that now she is mobile our lives will never be the same. Chris is very excited about this milestone and to be honest it scares me to death. I will try to get a video of it and post it soon. I hope this is not an indication of an early walker.

Time

Today I spent over 4.5 hours in my car, 3 hours in various meetings, 2 hours at a doctors appointment and 2 hours with my baby. This is just wrong.

Days like this are when I don't like being a working Mom. Looking forward to a better day tomorrow.

On the bright side, rocking Harper to sleep is the must fulfilling thing I do all day.

BTW... I made good on my promise to Tory Burch this weekend and brought home two pairs of her super cute sandals.

Happy 1/2 Birthday

Harpy is Six Months old now and she continues to amaze us everyday.  She wants to be a big girl so bad.  Everyday is a new day with her.

She got her highchair last month and loves it.  I think it is pretty cool too.  She sits in it every morning while her Nanny drinks coffee and reads the paper. 

She has started to eat real baby food every day.  She loves Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, and Peaches.

She is very close to crawling and will have it down very soon.  Not sure how happy I am about this since I know it will change everything once she is mobile.  Harpy loves to play with all her nieces and nephews.  Her face lights up every time she sees them.  I’m sure she gets at least 1000 kisses each day from all of my family.  She is a very social child and will let anyone hold her.  She is also a very happy baby.  Except for the last two weeks when her teeth are hurting her. We hope that we will see these two teeth soon as they have been the culprit of one fussy baby. 

Here are the photos of her with her pink bear.  I take her picture with it every month just to see how she grows.  When we brought her home she was the same size as the bear. 

It keeps getting more difficult to get her picture with the bear since she is always on the move.

Birthday Blog

Last weekend we celebrated Chris's 40th Birthday. It has taken me a week to post the details.

On Friday I picked Chris up from work in a Limo. I know it was a little goofy but it was nice to just sit back and enjoy the Friday rush hour drive to downtown with my sweet hubby. We checked in the the Ritz Carlton in Dallas on Friday afternoon. This hotel is beautiful and the staff there is wonderful. We headed down to the Rattlesnake Bar to enjoy an afternoon snack and a little happy drinks before dinner. Chris sand I were able to just sit and have some great conversation. Talk about important things. It is great to know we are both on the same page as to where we want our lives to head in the future.

Our good friends Clay and Debbie met us for dinner and this was a big surprise to Chris. We always have a great time with Clay and Debbie. They are a ton of fun. Chef Dean Feering came by our table several times to chat with us. he looked a little confused when I told him I would like to have the #1 and go ahead value size it since it's a special occasion and all. On a serious note Feerings is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Food and service were amazing and if you live in Dallas you must go here sometime.

After Dinner we headed to the back to the bar and enjoyed some of the best people watching I have seen in years. This was the place to see and be seen in Dallas. As a bonus I got to see Sting.

My Mom and Harper came the next morning to pick us up and enjoy a wonderful brunch. Later Chris and I went to hang out with all the crazy Parrot Heads for the Jimmy Buffet concert. Words can't describe everything I saw there and some how i don't have many pictures either. We spent all day in the sun drinking cold beer and hanging out with some friends from the hood.

We finished the weekend with brunch and Blue Mesa and a little shopping.

No crazy Birthday just a good time. Here are the pics.
