Pumpkin Patch

The weather was perfect today, so we headed out to find a pumpkin.

There is so much to do at Carolyn's Pumpkin Patch!

We fed some goats.

Harper drove a car

and a bus!

There were giant tubes to crawl through.

We climbed up in the big chair.

We fed the goats again.

We searched for a perfect pumpkin.

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch!

Ready for the game!

M-I-Z!

 

A visit to the ear doctor and more time outside!

On Sunday, we tried out Shawn's anniversary present -- a new fishing boat.

Harper was really good and sat still during the ride.

Today we went to see an ear, nose and throat doctor.

Harper is still not speaking very much and we wanted to rule out 

any kind of a physical problem that might be contributing to her speech delay.

Dr. Beuerlein did a hearing test and her hearing is normal.  

Her tonsils are extremely large, but since she eats 

and sleeps well we will not remove them at this time.  

He removed some wax from her ears, which she did not like at all.

When we got home, we decided to go outside and enjoy the great weather!  

We grilled burgers and ate outside, then went to play in the sandbox.

 

 Harper found a caterpillar crawling on the driveway.

Needless to say, she was very excited!  

When he would stop crawling, she would holler, "GO!"

 

Another fun weekend!

On Friday, Harper and I went shopping at Oak Park Mall.

 She drove a bobcat.

We rode the carousel and she chose to ride on a zebra!

Friday night the Spangler family came over for dinner.  

It was so wonderful to see Harper run off to play with 

Elizabeth and Stella while the adults gathered in the kitchen.

The girls played and laughed all night long!  I can't believe I didn't get any pictures!

On Saturday, we celebrated our 23rd anniversary and 

Regina Martin's birthday at Buca di Beppo.

Harper checked out some of the plaza fountains.

We went to Glacé for ice cream and I think it is 

safe to say that Harper LOVED it!

 

New Antisdel's Photos!

Harper has grown and changed so much since 

we had our family photo taken last November.

We wanted to capture her before she grows even more.

The photographer got sooooooooooo many great photos!

Here are some of our favorites.

 

 

Last days of summer!

Summer is ending so we knew we needed to spend time outside!

We introduced Harper to t-ball.

She wasn't too interested and decided we should blow bubbles!

Daddy was disappointed when Harper said she'd rather play soccer.

Ashley was home for the weekend, so we found a new park!

Zeebs got a turn on the swings.

Harper loves playing with her Sissy!

So much to see and do!

We are really enjoying this fabulous weather!

Yesterday, we ate lunch at Jason's Deli and Harper loved the soft serve ice cream.

What?  Doesn't everyone eat the bottom of the cone first?

Harper can always be found standing on the air conditioning vents.

I wonder what she will think when the weather changes and the vents blow hot air.

Today we went to ride the train at Line Creek Park.

Harper loved it!

The train went pretty fast and there was even a tunnel!

Then we went to the playground for more fun!

We hope for a lot more fabulous weather in our future!
