Wow, it's been 2 months since I posted on the blog. Time really does fly by when you are having fun. We have had a very busy Spring. It's been an amazing 2 months. Here are some quick pictures to show you how much fun we've been having...

Good morning everybody!
The week of April 22nd Scott and I had the luxury of going to Savannah, GA as a rewards trip earned by Scott for his hard work at the beginning of the year. Scott has received the "runner up" award before, but this was his first time winning this award. It was by far one of the best trips we've ever attended. We were given the royal treatment from the minute we arrived. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to attend these amazing trips. We were thankful to have Nana Rosa & Gampy Mike back in Madison to take care of Harper. This was the first time we had left Harper for an extended period of time, it was hard but we knew she was in great hands.

The top 1% of Liberty Mutual - Jan/Feb contest. A very elite group of people. Thank you to Scott for working so incredibly hard to provide for our family. His hard work never goes unappreciated. We are so incredibly proud of him. We are lucky to call you Daddy, Husband, and best friend. Keep up the hard work. We love you!

Watching the Twins game with Daddy!
Harper is growing up! She graduated from the baby room and moved up to the 1 year old room on June 10th. It's been an interesting transition. She has a harder time leaving Mommy and Daddy in the morning. She has become much more attached to us since our trip to the Bahamas. Right now she hangs very close with her teachers during the day because she isn't quite sure about these "big kids". Below is the report card from her first trial run in the big kid room.
Buh-bye! Time for school!
Look at me - I'm a big girl - I eat with a fork!
On Saturday, June 1st Sara had her baby shower in Madison. Caitlin came up from St. Louis. It was an amazing weekend with my best friends! Caitlin is getting married in August and Sara is due with baby girl Durston in July!
