Great visit to see the fam!

Grandpa Glen!

Swings with Auntie Ciara!  We also visited the splash pad.  Harper is about to fall asleep in this picture.

Grandpa's coffee cups are great fun.

Cutie pie!

Her first drums.  It was quite a show too.

Harper and her Great Grandma Marburger and Grandma Ney

Great Grandma looks great for being 93.  It was a fun visit.

The whole visiting bunch. 

A little nap in the garden at mom's house.

Auntie Ciara and Uncle Adam!

Grandpa Martin

Riding the carousel with Grandpa Glen

She did alright while we were still, but it was a little scarey when it got moving. 

Harper and Claire Dormaier.  I was witness to Claire's birth, so to see her holding Harper 14 years later is too cool!

The Dormaier kids!  I baby sat Claire and Taylor when they were wee ones.   They are such cool kids now!

Beginning of a new adventure - Momming

I'm quitting my job.  In three weeks I get to begin the journey of being a full time parent (not that it isn't full time right now!)

Dan and I have been discussing many things over the last few months, and we've decided to take the plunge into this scarry season of uncertainty.  Dan is still looking for a job, so me leaving mine isn't what most people would do in today's economy, but we are going to give this a go. 

I've been looking forward to being home with Harper since I first went back to work last February.  She is my sun and moon, and it breaks my heart to miss her small changes through out the day.  I never thought I would feel so strongly about being this type of mother, but I'm not ashamed of my decision. 

One of the additional perks of Momming (a word I like more that Stay-at-home Mom) is being able to blog more (maybe, I really don't know yet).  There may even be items in my Etsy shop again! 

I'm not putting the cart before the horse, but it wouldn't break my heart if I found time for that again. 

And so world, cheers to the next big thing in my life!  Momming!
