What a week!

We took Harper to the ER Tuesday night &

after many hours & tests found out that she

had an intussusception - basically her intestines

had collapsed upon themselves. She had surgery

at 6 am on Wednesday morning and recovered

at Children's Hospital until Friday evening...

She's doing quite well this week and seems to be

healing quickly! Dr. Azarow & the entire staff at

Children's were wonderful to us. Thanks to all of

Harper's family & friends for the visits, calls,

well wishes & prayers. They mean so much to us :)

We've been busy!

Harper has found her thumb!

We had a big weekend! Saturday, Mike took Harper for her first dip in

the Brown Family swimming pool - think it was a bit chilly for her this

time, but I'm sure we have warmer days ahead...

Love those toes...

Elliott & Eva got 2 new cats this past week - very exciting!

Such big blue eyes!

Here's Harper - so strong, she can hold her head up for quite a long time now!

Very exciting - Happy Father's Day Mike!

Jason & Stacy had such a wonderful weekend. It was Harper's first wedding

and she had a blast! She got to meet soooo many people, she was such a trooper!

We wish the newlyweds all the best and thank them for such a fun event.

The Pink Dress

So the story goes that both my mother and myself have

been photographed in this very same pink dress out on the lawn

at my grandparents. Harper is a little younger than we were but we

didn't want to miss the opportunity to continue the tradition!

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent the weekend up in Fairmont at Grandpa & Grandma Stougaards.

Lovely weather, lovely company! It was relaxing and wonderful.

Time is Flying By!

Wow! Harper Grace turned 3 months old yesterday!
It's been a wild month involving me going back to
work, moving into our new house & even a road trip
down to Hot Springs, Arkansas. Hopefully, we'll be able
to slow down a bit and enjoy our summer.

Here are some fun pictures to share of our growing
baby girl.

Harper's 12 week portrait session! Finally caught that smile!

Mother's Day 2009: A lovely brunch at Grandpa & Grandma Gorders!

What a fun way to spend my first one :)
