A little letter.

Dear September,

I know you think its still summer. But could you please cool down a little bit? I am sick of wearing my summer clothes, I am longing to get out long sleeve shirts and sweaters. I am dying to burn my pumpkin candles and buy anything halloween or fall looking. Please fall come soon my little Max loves to run outside but his mom hates being in the hot sun all afternoon but if it was cool and crisp outside she wouldn't mind!

Love,

The Harris Family

Nothings Better Then A Target Icee...

4 Years Later:

Well we made it 4 years!

Our real anniversary is the 6 in-fact which was Tuesday. Larry worked and has school so on labor day Monday we went out to lunch and a movie. Super casual and simple. We keep joking that maybe around year 10 we will get to do something fun like a getaway. Oh well such is life for a working law student and his family. Its been a wild ride these last 4 years. We've done and seen a lot and there is still so much more ahead for us. I never knew how hard it would be to make a life with someone, raise kids, go to school, achieve careers but I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else. Larry is way to patient with me and loves me when I don't deserve it. Year 4 wasn't our finest year. In fact it has been our hardest year of our marriage I will be thankful because I can honestly say it was a doozy and I am ready to start fresh again. Here is to 4 more better and brighter years!

Max Crashes Hard.

Max took an awful spill yesterday. His mouth his the corner of a tile ledge and there was blood everywhere. Now being a nurse I know what to do but man its so different with your child. After he was calmed down, and cleaned up it was time to look at his mouth and teeth. Thank goodness all his 10 teeth were intact but he tore some of this gum and it bleed for a while. After calling a pediatric dentist in our ward he said it was typical place for toddlers to get hurt and that the pooling of blood and blood blister would take a couple weeks to heal. Poor little max. This all had happened during the 4th quarter of the BYU game so it was a bit hectic! So glad max will be okay. Its hard to watch your child cry and be in pain and not feel responsible. Today he is running around and pulling everything out of everywhere so he is back to his typical happy self. Its pretty amazing how little kids can get hurt and heal so quickly.

14.5 months

Well Im sorta a slacker on the blogging lately. We have just been really busy with guess what SCHOOL :) Larry works all day then goes to school... its hard, we don't see him very often in the week. Max only sees him 3 times a week because he is always asleep when larry gets home from school and leaves for work the next day. Its hard but we are going to see such a reward in the end {right?}. It also helps a lot that I am not alone all the time so being husbandless 99% of your life isn't as bad.

On to Max. He is 14 1/2 months and into everything. He has learned to run away from me and has learned to throw his diaper outside when I am done changing it. He is into everything, and that is not an exaggerations. Once he is finished destroying on place in the house he quickly moves on to another. His favorite pass time is going through all the kitchen cabinets and taking all the silverware out and spreading it around the house. He is starting to get on his tippy toes and reach for door handles and thinks when he has an empty cup it needs to be taken to the fridge right away to be refilled.

He likes to sing to himself in his crib...or his lair as my dad likes to refer to it, which his place he takes things and hides them there...in his crib which is yes still in my parents closet. He loves to go outside and thinks anytime some has keys in their hands it means Max gets to go outside. He loves to go on bike rides with Larry to the park and slide down the slides. He is such a funny little boy. He loves going to the splash pad which is sadly closed for the winter season even though the high today is 101 :)

He smiles and everyone he is familiar with and scowls at people he doesn't know. He says a few tangled words but loves to scream "Dave" really loud whenever David comes into the room, so I think he is saying David but who really know. Hopefully he starts saying more words in the new few months. I still know what he wants though and he communicates well by taking your hand and taking you to what he wants its funny. He is getting to be such a big boy!

We've been M.I.A.

hey haven't blogged in forever. Me moved all our stuff into the house and have been painting, carpeting, and much more. its been crazy couple of weeks. Larry started back at law school last night so I am once again a single mom...but not alone this time! Here is to another horrible year of law school. Oh wait...I also haven't blogged because I am trying to be less negative these days so scratch that last true statement. Anyways hopefully we get back to the normal programming around here once the boxes of things are unpacked and Im not so stressed out its making me sick. Here here to another year of school and a new place to live!

Splash Pad Fun.

So I love splash pads. I love pools too, but with a very active toddler you have to watch him like a hawk and never not be holding him or else he will run straight into the pool. The splash pad though is so much more safe and less worry some for me. I can sit and chat while he runs wild through the water and have no fear or him drowning. He was timid at first and every time we went I had to play with him. Now he will run right in and thinks he is a big as the big kids around him. He screams and laughs and its so fun to watch him be so happy.
