Maggie Moo's First Trip to the Dentist...

Maggie Moo recently checked something off her I-am-getting-older-and-trying-new-things list...She visited the Dentist! I had an appointment set up for me on August 5th and since Maggie just turned 3 and needed to start going, they asked me just to bring her in with me and we would "see how it went." Maggie doesn't mind brushing her teeth. She actually is an excellent spitter-outter of the water for rinsing. Was I nervous? Not really. I figured, worse case...it would be a terrible experience and she would cry and hate it and we would say, okay not going to happen.

But, Mags did great! I mean great! She first watched me get my teeth cleaned...which I think helped. When it was her turn, she wanted to know if she got to wear the purple bib with alligator clippies. Mrs. Marty was our amazing teeth-cleaner and she couldn't have been any sweeter to Maggie.

Maggie was such a champ! She let her do the entire appointment, complete with the cleaning and "counting of teeth." I was so proud of Maggie and she officially robbed the place blind because she asked for 2 tooth brushes so she could have one in Mommy's bathroom. So there we left...2 toothbrushes, 2 alligator toppers, 1 package of toothpaste and a purple bib. She loved the experience. I believe that she loved it most because of Mrs. Marty!

well...

Harris/Freeman/Holland Easter 2010...

...I, again, realize that I am terrible at updating this blog. But, it is what it is.

We had a lovely Easter this year. My mom, JuJu, had some surgery the Monday prior so she was forced to take it easy. We attended church at Long Hollow on the Saturday night service and it was wonderful. We met at Brea's house for a yummy lunch and a great Easter egg hunt on Sunday. Maggie had a ball! We hadn't really worked with her about what to do, so Josh just said...run and play hide and seek with the eggs. The eggs are hiding from you! She was all over that.

Can you believe how much she is growing up?
So here are the pictures from our day of fun...It's a bunch...but hopefully worth it!

Our family growing makes my heart smile. What fun times are ahead for us all.

I have no idea what Isaac is doing with his basket...they were all ready to GO!

We are still struggling with sitting like a lady...can you tell?

I have to explain these two pictures. We grabbed mom and dad and asked them to take a pic. We never get pics of them anymore with all the kiddos running around. So the first picture was sweet, except that they looked like they were staring off into the destiny...you know like one of those cruise pictures...so we said...seriously! Then they were being goofy and did the next picture! Too funny!

This would have to be my favorite picture from the day.
Love you Mom.

Joshua Tucker...he will be running soon!

I get this face quite often. I have no idea what she is thinking...

Serious conversation happening between Mary Elizabeth and Grandpa Charles...

...Grandma Norma Jean Holland...

Sometimes it just kills me how beautiful my mom is...

...this picture is my second favorite...HOW PRECIOUS!!!

...the whole gang...

What a blessed day. Thanks Daddy, Josh, for all of these amazing pictures and memories to share. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter as well!

February Update and Happenings of the Harris Home...

Well, the months are officially flying by. We are having a blast here at our house.
We have been to the circus...

We have played in the snow...

Maggie has enjoyed some cooking time with Daddy...

Maggie is seriously on her way to being officially potty-trained!!!!! You have to check out this short video of her on the potty (hopefully no one is offended!) She has gotten in the habit of "reading" a book on the potty and lately has loved to read aloud while others are waiting on her to finish. If you listen carefully, you can hear her say "Once upon a time" as she is turning the pages. She is an amazing child. So easy to love.

I have started a serious diet...it is called...get weight OFF so I can have another baby! Yep, I said it. We are going to start thinking about having another baby soon. How soon, I dunno! But, I wanna get my body fit before another baby comes along.

Have have been sewing so much that I joke I am running a sweatshop. Here are some of the latest creations...
Seems like I am missing a ton, but I will be back soon.
