Harper is 4 Months

1 month!  That is exactly how long it has been since my last post.  The past month has been good and busy but not too exciting from a weekend outing perspective.  I’ve been back at work a month now and it is going well.  I really enjoy being so close to the office now too…it is amazing what those 15 minutes each way saved can do!  Sometimes I get in a quick run (yes, I started running last month), or just prepare for the next day while Ana is still there.  Not having to wash pump parts and prepare them for the next day or make bottles in the evening after the girls go to bed is amazing!

A few days before Thanksgiving, Avery and Emerson came down with  colds, which Justin, Harper, and I both caught.  We all felt miserable Thanksgiving break and spent the entire time at home.   Hanukkah came early this early and coincided with the Thanksgiving break.  The girls helped light the menorah and say the blessing every night.  They love to talk about “Henukah” as they call it.   They recieved presents every night…including matching sunglasses….as you can see not a one of them wanted to take a picture.

Last Sunday through Tuesday it snowed and or sleeted freezing rain so again we were stuck in doors for another few days.  And now it is just cold out…I am not a fan of this time of year!  Justin and I are actively involved in the house search…we decided on Vienna…I’m wondering if we should be considering only tropical weather climatesJ

Onto more important matters…Harper is 4 months old today!  She is simply amazing; I could not have asked for a happier baby.
