Snow Angels

Our little helper -- out shoveling the sidewalk with Daddy.


Guess who had to settle for watching big sister from inside the house?


Hooray! Harper finally gets a turn to help out!

Molly with our first snowman -- ever. Maybe if her mom had been born somewhere other than the deep South we could have built a bigger snowman. I had a hard time getting the snowball to stick together. Luckily, Molly didn't seem notice.

And Harper just wasn't sure what to make of the snowman period. All she new for certain was that she wanted to eat his raisin eyes, which she did repeatedly for the rest of the afternoon. (I had to replace them three times!)

Hooray for Fall

With the onset of cooler weather, I ordered a new winter coat for (a much taller) Molly. I splurged this year and bought her a scarf too. She loved it! And I loved having a mini-me.

Thank you, Hannah!





I know it has been a loooong time since I posted, so I will treat everyone to some beautiful pictures taken earlier this month by my uber-talented cousin, Hannah. Her pictures always take my breath away!

Vacation Part 2: OBX

The second half of our trip took us down to Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We LOVE the Outer Banks. David has been vacationing there for more than two decades with his family. We took Molly down for her first trip to OBX when she was only 3 weeks old. This year was Harper's first trip. We can't wait for many more years of OBX fun with our girls.
OBX fans for life.
Harper enjoys an upclose look at the waves during her first trip to OBX.

The girls loved digging in the sand and building sandcastles with Daddy.

Molly visiting the beach one more time before we head home.

Enjoying the last sunset of our 2010 trip to the Outer Banks!

Vacation Part 1: Norfolk

Here are a few pictures from our recent trip to the beach. We spent ten days in all on the road. Our first stop was Norfolk, Virginia, where Aunt Marcia's in-laws graciously let us stay in their house just a block from the beach. The girls loved it! I have decided I have amphibians for children -- both girls love the water as much as the land. We were hard-pressed to get them off of the beach or out of the pool!
Harper's first trip to the beach -- or bay -- in this instance. She loved every part of the experience! She didn't even seem too phased when she put sand in her mouth although she decided it wasn't a very tasty treat.
Molly, our original amphibian, was ecstatic to be on the beach and in the water!
We took an afternoon trip to the Virginia Beach aquarium where Molly and Daddy got an upclose look at a komodo dragon.
My favorite picture -- Molly in awe of the aquarium's tropical fish tunnel.
