Esme's Bollywood Bash!!!!!!!

Sunday night we had a little party for a sweet little girl who is about to turn ONE! I can not believe that it has been one year already.

Esme, you are the sweetest most well behaved babies I have ever known. You light up a room with your contagious smile and blow the most amazing kisses. I am so glad your mommy and daddy brought you into this world, and I'm pretty sure Harper is too!!!! We love you!!! Happy Birthday sweet little girl!!!

Teas

A few weeks ago Harper and I had the best time having "teas" (as Harper likes to call it) at my mom's Inn with my aunt, grandmother and cousin Aurora. It was such a lovely time. Harper especially loved the sugar  sticks and the raspberry jelly.

Life has been flying by these days and I am trying to make a promise to myself that I will keep up with this blog. Harper is changing so quickly and it is so nice to go through all my previous entry's and see how she was and what we where up to last year. She is going to be two in less then two months!!! Crazy.

summer time

We have the tiniest little porch but it has been a perfect place for us to hang during the day while we are home. Harper would sit out there all day and night if she could. 

Instagram dinners

Since Harper's been in full swing eating "big people" food I have found it important to make a well balanced meal every night and sit with her and eat together. Growing up food was a very important part of our family. And still is. When I'm at my moms and were are out to breakfast she will ask us what we want for dinner. My family basically revolves around food. I like that. Apparently I also like to take pictures of my food.

What a year can do

My lovely sister is in the hospital as I type doing the hardest most amazing and life altering thing she can do it had me thinking OMG! look at what just one short year can do!!! This is me one year ago....

Blows my mind!! I can not believe how much this one year has changed me and my little family, and how fast it went by. Its also crazy to think Jessie, Hunter and I changed our family from five to 10!!!! in one year!! (Parents I promise to slow down the reproducing....maybe.) And next year at this time we will be celebrating a 1 year old and a 2 year old's birthday!!! 

Getting out

One great thing about having a baby is it forces you to leave the house, cause if you didn't you would go cra cra crazy. For reals. So instead of going to Target for the billionth time (oh how I do heart you Target!) we have been going the little more cultural route. Yesterday we went to Mass MoCA and it was great. Mass MoCA is perfect for children. Big, bright and its ok to be a little loud, and the kids space is awesome! Cant wait to do some arts and crafts with the Harps up in there when shes a little bigger.

My Parents have been in town for few days and its been so nice having them around. We have had family dinner every night with my sister and brother-in-law and its left me feeling all warm and fuzzy.  My sister is going to have a baby NEXT month. OMG!! and I couldn't be more excited!!!! While my parents are here they are also helping me rearrange my house a little bit to make it a little more, er..... baby shui. The little Harp is finally going to be sleeping in her own room! Again a bitter sweet moment in mommy hood but honestly tip toeing around my room for the past year has been no fun. I thinks its time for mommy and baby have a little space to call their own.
