Happy 80th Birthday (Great) Grandpa!

Today Harper and Keegan's Great Grandpa turns 80!  I tried to get a cute picture of them holding a Happy Birthday sign while sitting in the chairs he made them but apparently getting a picture of two 18 month old kiddos is impossible. Most of the pictures consisted of Harper carrying her chair all over the yard while Keegan just sat there.
















Happy 80th Birthday Grandpa! We love and miss you!

18 months / 1.5 Years

I'm finally getting around to Harper and Keegan's 18 month post even though they turned 18 months 2 weeks ago. They are officially 1.5 years old. Is now when I should stop referring to them in months? It makes them seem so old to say they are a year and a half old.

When Mimi was here they had their 18 month checkup on Friday, April 18. Typically when they call us back to the checkup room, the nurse says to strip them each down to their diaper and then we will take their diaper off when we lay them down on the scale.  This time they called us back and asked us to remove their shoes so they could stand on the scale... on the big person scale like a big kid! ::Cue the tears:: I don't know why but it made me so sad. They aren't babies anymore. They're toddlers.
