"This is what sorority life is all about"...

Yes, the weather here is beautiful. Harper is finally feeling better. So things should be great today, right? Yes, but I can't help but get kind of sad when I think about what I'm missing out on this weekend! This weekend is the Pi Phi Centennial Celebration in Fayetteville, and I just can't believe I'm not going to be there. The friends I made through my sorority have been life-long, and I can't imagine what college would've been like without my experience as a Pi Phi. It just ended up that I couldn't make the trip up there. I didn't know what I would do with Harper, and honestly, $80 could be used in many other places in our family. So there you have it. All of my friends (well...most of them, at least) are all going to be together, laughing and reminiscing about the good ol' college years, and I'm not going to be there to join in on the fun! It just makes me sad. I do hope that they have a great weekend together, celebrating the amazing Arkansas Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi!

Here are a few pictures I could find from my Pi Phi days. I found more, but I was not about to put up some of them. What was I thinking with some of my outfit choices freshman year?!?! I don't know why some are big and some are small. Who knows? They will just have to stay that way because I have no idea how to fix them. Enjoy!

My amazing pledge class at our reunion 2 years ago

Not sure about the pose... maybe we were just practicing for Rush?

Katie, Lauren, and Ashley...

Hands down, 3 of the most amazing girls in the world!

Also at our reunion... enjoying our cookie shine

Chelsea, Katie, and me... these 2 girls are FUNNY!

At Senior Farewell... don't look too hard for me.

I was stuck in the Atlanta airport... probably crying.

The 30-minute napper

I love this picture! She's sporting her Uggs for the first time, and she sort of likes them. She curls her toes as I'm trying to put them on. I'm just hoping they will keep her feet warm. She isn't a fan of having anything on her feet, and usually her toes turn purple they get so cold! It's pretty ridiculous! Anyway, she does look sweet in the picture, but also very tired. Thanks to an early wake-up this morning, our first nap was also early... and only 30 minutes. She has certainly made a habit of the 30 minute nap, and I wish she could add a few more minutes to them. It isn't even 3:30, and she has had her 3 naps. Someone is going to be VERY cranky by the time dad gets home! Lucky him!

On another note, I am losing my mind. I don't know what got into me today, but at Target I got all of our groceries, went through the check out, and oops... my wallet is in my car. My wallet is always in my diaper bag. I don't even know how it got out of my bag! It was shocking. Also, my house is an absolute wreck, and I don't see an end in sight. This virus sure did a number on us! At least I have something to blame it on, right? Or does this have anything to do with the virus? There's no need to actually answer that question!

Still on the mend...

It seems that this is one nasty virus! Corby and I have been great today (besides being rather tired), but little Harper just isn't well yet. She has thrown up every other day... twice so far today! We are REALLY ready for this to be gone. And she's probably ready for psycho-anti-dehydration mom to leave the building! She hates pedialyte, and is SO dramatic about it too! It is a fight to get her to drink it. But don't worry... I win every time! We're hoping that today was the last day of vomit. My lysol can and washing machine could sure use a break!

3 for 3

Well, you read that title correctly. The stomach virus has infected all 3 of us. Thankfully mine is happening while Harper is asleep and will hopefully be over by the time she wakes up. If you live in the Dallas area, stay away from our house. Apparently this is pretty contagious! Also, if you know me well and are running errands tomorrow, I'd gladly pay you back for a can of Lysol. You can just drop it on the porch. Thank you.

Poor Sick Baby...

Poor little Harper doesn't feel very well! She's had a cold and cough for a while, but yesterday evening she went downhill, quick. I'm not sure what set it off, but she began vomiting and didn't stop for a few hours. Thankfully the pedialyte eventually stayed in her... but that took a while! Today we (by we, I mean, her) have moved on to diarrhea and diaper rash! I feel so sorry for her!!! She has kept everything down today and hasn't had a fever. We're hoping for another good night of sleep for her and an even better day tomorrow. It is a rather helpless feeling, and I'm not a fan of her being sick.

UPDATE: We now have a sick daddy here too. He just got home a little while ago from work and is now in bed. I'm hoping that I don't get it, otherwise we might have to hire a nanny for the week... to take care of all of us!

It's Tea Time!

Harper and Saylor had an early morning tea party on Friday. We had a lot of fun! Yes, Harper was still in her pajamas... it's just the way she rolls. They had a fun time playing together! I can't wait until they are even older and get excited when they get to be together! The tea party was a success. Here are some pictures to prove it:

Group shot...it was more difficult than I thought it would be

Harper might have been stealing Saylor's cup

Eating their cakes

Another favorite...eating the tea pot

Chewing on her tea cup!

We had a great time with Saylor and can't wait for her to come over again and play!!!

Remember that time I forgot to take pictures?

So we were in Little Rock last week with my family, and I have very few pictures to show for it! I'm not sure why I have hardly any... but I am quite disappointed in myself! Anyway, we had a great time visiting with everyone, and Harper LOVED being around family! Here are a few pictures of Harper and Eliana... they are hilarious together!

Playing with pretend food in their play room/nursery.

Thank you, Kay-Kay, for making the room so special!

You can hardly even tell them apart

when they're wearing the same outfits!

We said "Eliana, go sit by Harper"... and this is what she did!

Harper didn't seem to mind having Eliana in her lap!
