Our little love Harlow,

 

You are THREE.

You are gorgeous, smart, and kind.

You are silly and fun. 

You always ask to smell the flowers.

 And you love cupcakes, cookies, and popcorn.

 Oh, and apples too.

 

 You had a summer love affair with ponies...

that may have been replaced by ballet.

 Or maybe you just prefer horses named Buttercup that fit in your arms.

You are the most loving big sister.

 

 But you will always be our little princess.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl. We love you more everyday.

Printables were purchased from The Green Grass Grows.

Woah, did that just happen?

Watch out for 2013, it's a doozy.

January 19, 2013, we welcomed Raleigh Payton into our family.

 We sure do love her.

 We sure do love this wild one too.

 

We celebrated Valentine's Day on a Saturday.

 

We combined homework assignments with family outings. 

 

We celebrated my 27th birthday, and I was spoiled.

 

 We said goodbye to partners.

  We packed up our little house the first week of April. I was always complaining about the it, especially the kitchen (as you can see, it was "rustic"), but I already miss it. It will always have a special place in my heart as our girls' first home.

 

We snuck in some extra cuddling sessions and said some really hard goodbyes.#reallysmallgang

 We moved to Washington. Seth drove the moving truck with Mischa and Blue while Rosie, Harlow, Raleigh, Tino, and I took the Jeep and made it in two days. #braggingrights

 We added an Earthy Bliss Wrapture to our carrying stash to make being parents of two easier. Both littles love it. Quit staring, I know I look gorgeous.

 We all got horribly sick.

 We introduced Raleigh to Gigi and Papa, her Grandma and Grandpa, her aunts and uncles, 

and many friends.

 We moved Harlow to a toddler bed.

 We took classy bathroom photos to document days that we got dressed in real clothes.

 We proudly watched Seth be sworn in as a police officer.

 We practiced smiling for the camera.

 

We ignored the camera in favor of picking our nose.

 

 We climbed rocks and explored.

We have all become expert baby wrestlers, including Nana and Opa (finishing this semseter of grad school successfully was a team effort. The final product: wikiwikiwiki)!

 We went to a circus. We decided it really wasn't our thing. 

 

We celebrated Mother's Day with the best of them.
