No Peeing Off the Porch: April 2013

January 2013 Change is upon us

She loves her baby!

I was trying to get her bedtime routine, I got something different, but it was too cute!

Girls Rule!

I Love My Daddy!!

Katie and Sam!

Katie is becoming her own person! Her personality is coming through and it is so stinkin' cute! It is amazing to watch her become less of a baby:( and more of a person:) he is starting to say things and mimic our gestures, babies really are watching EVERYTHING!!!

Kroger is a Scary Place

Jan. 29 2013 Jake gave us all a scare today. While we were at Kroger he started acting funny and not feeling right. His arm eventually stared feeling numb and his leg as well. The nurse practitioner from the clinic in Kroger came over and asked him to smile and only one side of his mouth smiled. By now his speech was not clear and it was time for 911. We thought he was having a stroke so he took a ride in the ambulance. The Dr. at Athens Regional said he either had a TIA, Transit Ischemic Attack or a massive migraine. His symptoms cleared within an hour of starting. Our dear friend Catherine came and picked up Katie and kept her. It was such a huge relief to be able to take care of Jake and not worry about Katie; we knew she was in good hands. We were able to go home finally on late Tuesday evening. We don’t really have a plan of action right now, hopefully when Jake goes to his follow up Dr.’s visit we can get some better answers, the ones we have right now are just not good enough for me.

Jeeps and Christmas Dec 2012

I seriously can not get enough pictures of her sleeping!!!

On Dec 15, 2012 Jake, Katie, Granny, Allie, and I were all a part of the Toys for Tots Jeep ride along with almost 100 other Jeeps. Katie rode in style with Granny and me in her new Jeep while Jake and Allie rode in Jake’s CJ5. We rode from Jefferson and around about way made it to Athens. Katie met Santa (she was not impressed) and Jake won some T shirts. A Great First Ride!

Jake was a very happy Jeeper! Look at all the Jeeps!

No thank you Santa!

Katie's First Christmas:) We enjoyed this Christmas, we woke up before Katie and were able to sit and wake up, Jake was even able to make coffee. We realize this won't be the case every year, but this year was a quiet beginning. Katie till has no idea what the big deal is about. All she knew was when she looked in the big sock she got something to eat and she liked that:)

Granny got the prize for favorite gift in Katie's eyes. Granny got her a baby, she still sleeps with it, she loves her baby! And her Granny too:) Jake and I got her a purse and some blocks and things and she could care less about those, she likes the dog that sings and her baby.

Drummin' like her Daddy:)

Turkey and Kickball Nov 2012

We had Thanksgiving Dinner at Granny’s house. Yummy turkey and pie and green beans and so much more! Ruthie and her Dad joined us, and three other families joined us as well. It was a very Harmon Thanksgiving! The next day, after we had a day to recover, we had dessert with everyone and even the Jones clan joined us! We had the First Annual Thanksgiving Kickball game. Lala (team captain) chased butterflies most of the time, but did an amazing job cheering and kicking. O.J. (team captain) led his team to a close victory.

It was unanimous that it needed to be a regular event.
