BLESSED!!!

Little Ms. Harper I can't tell you how blessed we are! Your aunties Shannon, Kate, and Amy came to visit us Friday night until Saturday morning. They took the 3 hour trip to stay less than 24, now that's dedication. They arrived at 1 a.m. and we stayed up chatting until 4. Oh my gosh how I love them so much! They were so excited to feel you move about in my belly, see your room and new house, and talk about your upcoming arrival. Your aunt Shannon thinks that you will arrive next Wednesday Oct. 29th. I must say that would be nice. Either way you will come when you are ready!:) Kate made a comment that she never laughs as much as when we are all together....it's so true. I can't wait for you to meet your aunties! They are the BEST! Oh ya and they brought us some more of your belongings (high chair, big toys, bouncer, and such) plus a comfy couch to put in our living room. Thanks girls!

another good idea????

Q: Who thinks it's a good idea to be 9 months prego with 19 days to go and drive 3 hours to a concert in Omaha, Nebraska???



A: I did!

On Sunday October 19th, 2008 your aunts Shannon, Kate, Jamie and your mother went to see Joshua Radin and Missy Higgins in concert in Omaha, Nebraska. They played at this little dive bar called "The Waiting Room." It was a small bar so it was an intimate setting unlike you would experience at a big huge venue. I was less than 10 feet away from the stage!!! Your mother LOVES Joshua Radin's music. I have been jamming his new c.d the past few months with you in my belly. Seeing him live in concert made me love his music even more. My favorite part of the concert was when he would talk between songs about what inspired him to write each song. Joshua opened up for Missy Higgins who is also a fantastic musician. She is from Australian and has good energy about her. She had these awesome purple pants on with no shoes and of course her australian accent was to die for. We had a fabulous girls night out! This was your very first concert. Your aunt Shannon even bought you a Joshua Radin onesie:)

A good idea???

Q: Who thinks it's a good idea to be 9 months prego with 20 days to go and move??





A: WE DO:)! I thought that you might experience the first month of your life at the lovely "Falls" apartment complex but it turns out we are blessed to move into a two bedroom house just before you arrive. CRAZY! Right at this moment your dad, g-pa & g-ma are moving all of our belongings into our new house on Cedar St. in Roeland Park, KS. You and I get out the whole moving process due to you being in my belly:) I can't wait for you to see your new room. Stay tuned for more pictures!!
