miss personality

Harper cracks me up these days.  She's really developing her own personality and is just the sweetest thing.  Don't get me wrong-she has her moments and is certainly rambunctious-but I think she is so fun-loving.  

She has a new thing where she gets her chair, a pillow, and a blanket and pulls them all to the middle of the family room.  Then she'll get a few books, lay down, pull the blanket over her, and read.  She must have seen me do this because I've never set that up for her.  It is so cute and she looks like a little old lady.  

I'm working on the countdown to Kate with Harper.  I put it off because I thought 21 days of chain would wear off probably by day 10.  Harper painted paper grocery bags and I cut the strips for the links.  We'll start the clipping tomorrow, counting the links and looking at the number on the chalk board as we go until the day Kate comes home.    

I'm having a hard time sleeping due to pain, so I'm glad that there's only a few days left.  It looks like I have a basketball under my shirt.  

because I don't have a picture of me (not) sleeping, and because I'm always trying to convince everyone (including myself) that Gabs is a sweet cat...I promise she is

Finally, these came in the mail yesterday-aren't they so cute!?  Harper will wear hers when she comes to meet her sister at the hospital.
