How 'Bout a Taco?

Faith has been wanting a lap dog that she could love on and would sleep in her room. We looked at some shelters and found....Taco :) He has been the best dog ever. He is perfectly content with laying in your lap or on your chest all day long. She loves this dog so much :)
Tucker is having some "issues" but is only at fault for wanting to play. It doesn't work when you have 75# of dog playing with 6# of dog. But they are working out their issues and are getting better.

Love Lost a Tooth

Love lost her first tooth. She unfortunately had a root canal that failed and the tooth cracked. But she was such a trooper. They really spoil her at the dentist :)

They put the three pieces of tooth into a little treasure box for her.
She put it under her pillow and waited. She was so excited! She will be without a tooth for quite a while but to me she looks even cuter, if that was even possible :)

Hope's Soccer

Faith has really grown close to her teammates. It is so nice to have a group of girls that get along and she moved positions too. She plays forward again :)
Faith switched club teams this year and she is so much happier. She also happens to love her new number #00. She thinks she is tough.
And playing like this...she is!

First Day of School

Faith Freshman Year
Hunter would not let me take his picture...I guess he is just too cool. But, he is now attending the same small private Christian school with Faith. Hunter is a Sophomore.
Hope First Grade
Love PreK
Both girls wear uniforms this year. Love this! Not only do they look cute it makes mornings so much more enjoyable :)

Meet the Teacher

From August
A huge perk of having the school in your backyard...we walked to Meet the Teacher :) We generally drive to drop Hope off in the morning because we have other stops and are having to rush. But everyday I walk to pick her up.
Hope was told to choose her spot and she chose the tables with all girls in the front...now that was new. Last year she preferred sitting with the boys.
Hope and Mrs. Christian First Grade 2010
Mrs. Grace and Love PAC class 2010
Love returned to the PreK speech class that she attended last year. She loves Mrs. Grace so much. Her vocabulary has really picked up and her pronunciation has improved a lot too. This class has been the biggest blessing :)

FYI.....Facebook Kills Blogs

Love- by far our easiest going child...she loves life :)

Hey all!

I know it has been ages. I have missed not only blogging but keeping up with my blogs. I haven't caught up with a lot of you guys in a while. How are you??

I reactivated my facebook months ago and little by little I went from a visit every so often to often many times a day. Even if just for a moment to "check" things. Because it is very important information to know that so and so is at the grocery store and woo hoo is at Starbucks and that whoever has added to his farm or someone did some weird quiz. It is all very need to know. I have followed many friends who dropped completely out of blogland. I was rejoined with them through facebook. But, I did and do miss hearing their heart through their words and really getting the story behind the photos. As easy as facebook is to keep people updated, it is really hard to feel an honest connection with anyone. I guess facebook didn't kill our blog but it did get awfully sick and nearly starved to death. The longer I was a way from it the harder it was to come back.

So, when I was approached by a lot of you asking me what my deal was....well, I don't know why I didn't identify with your "missing" us Harris'. Even though to me it isn't all the need to know information either, but if you love us, which I am hoping most of you do....well, it is almost like talking to us or being with us through our day to day journey. So, I am going forward and will be back tracking too. Much has happened in the last 4-5 months. Life has been crazy, hard, easy, wonderful, challenging, lovely, stinky, boring, busy, stressful, exciting and well....anything but perfect. Through God's grace alone do we get through it...cause the Harris life is a mess, but it is a beautiful chaotic mess:)
Love found a rock at a soccer game and decided it would make a good nose :)
