Just a swinging!

Happy New Year to all! We have started it off with some outings with our little Harper. New Year's Day she and I went to spend some time with Natalie and Anderson. Nat cooked a tasty lunch for us, and I got to play with a not so little Anderson that I have been missing! I can't believe how big he has gotten. It was so much fun to watch him crawl all over the place and pull up on anything and everything he ran into! We are so glad that they are in Tuscaloosa. It will be fun to mother them together! 

Friday night we went to watch the Sugar Bowl at friends Stacy & Allison's house. It was the first time most of that group of friends got to meet Harper. Lauren and Paul's daughter, Joey, is the same age as Anderson, and she wanted to touch Harper's nose. She's a cutie who is also crawling all over the place. Shane and Mims daughter, Brantley, was also very interested in playing with Harper! She had her cheerleading uniform to root for Bama. It'll be a little more fun for them once Harper is big enough to play with them. We'll have a whole cheerleading squad at the tailgate real soon! Even though Bama didn't win, we had a fun visit.

Today we celebrated Gammy's 90th birthday with the whole Hamner family at Steamer's. A lot of the family that lives out of state came in for the celebration. It was great because I got to meet a lot of new faces! There was close to 50 of us! Again, all of the little girls wanted to check out Harper. She will have lots of cousins to play with when she's ready (and cute hand-me-downs too!) Ken and I are quickly learning that it's not so quick to leave the house with a newborn! Seems like there is always one last diaper change that is needed! She's done really good though, sleeping for most of the visits. While this is good for us, it's a little disappointing for those hoping to see her eyes! I'm sure they will be wide open more often very soon! We'll keep on celebrating with Gammy and the family tomorrow before everyone heads back home. Our camera battery was dead today, so we'll post some pictures tomorrow! 

I also just found out some very exciting news: Katie & Vincent are engaged! They are on a ski trip in Colorado, due to return tomorrow. I haven't even spoken to her yet, just texted and checked out the news on her blog.  I am super thrilled for them!!!

Here's how Harper is handling the down time:

Just worn out!
