Freedom

Alex, Harper and I had a picnic in Freedom Park today.  The weather was perfect!  I am on call this weekend, but luckily could sneak away from the hospital after a busy night.  This was Harper's first picnic and she loved it!

   

All ready to eat!

    

The view from our picnic spot was nice.

         

Harper refused to wear the outfit I picked out for her today.  Instead, she wanted to wear her "princess dress" that is a couple sizes too small.

      

    

We walked to a playground after lunch.

New Baby

We are excited to announce our New Baby news!  New Baby will be coming sometime this July (fingers crossed no sooner).  To our surprise, this little bundle of joy will be a baby boy!  Harper is very excited about her upcoming big sister role and proudly tells her friends about the baby in Mommy's tummy.  She has loved looking at the baby in his "bubble" and can't wait to feel his kicks soon.

  

Hello baby brother!!

    

    

Doesn't quite understand how this works...

Science Sunday

It was a very rainy Sunday today so we decided to go to Discovery Place.  Harper had a blast, as usual, playing with all the toys and learning about different fish and animals.  

   

Harper and Alex built different types of cars and raced them down the ramp.

    

     

     

    

We learned about color combinations. 

    

We built castles.

      

One is good...

       

two is better!

        

   

The water table is always a hit.

     

   

Hello fish! 

    

    

We learned about this big lizard.

    

    

Harper loved the microscope.  She did a great job focusing the scope and zooming in and out!
