Best Buddies

One of the best sounds to hear is that of children making the other one laugh. Lately, this happens a lot at our house. Harper cannot get enough of Luca and Luca seems to think that Harper's laugh is the funniest thing on earth. I wish they could be this way as teenagers too!

Happy Holidays

The time of year is upon us. I wish I meant the holidays, but I meant of winter sickness. I feel like I have had a cold for about three weeks. The kids both entered the month with ear infections, lending themselves to antibiotics and sick days from school. We finally started feeling better just in time for Grandma Chaput to come and visit for THANKGIVING! We were so happy to have her, even though she reminded us everyday that our weather is horrible. We are headed to Sedona for Christmas for a good old fashioned Griswald Christmas, we cannot wait.

Quickly

I have very easily and quickly discovered the true joy of having the girls. Luca lives for Harper and Harper lives for Luca. It brings both Justin and I such joy to see them interact. There is very little that Luca can do or say that does not make Harper smile and even sometimes giggle. I explained to Luca that although she might not see it now, later in life, Harper will be her "best buddy." For about three weeks Luca called Harper "my best buddy," this was so cute. I think this will only get better as Harper gets older and can play more with Luca, then again, that is when the real test of sharing will come too.
