Exciting Days Here!!

Well it's been an exciting couple of days around the Harper home!  

First of all - a HUGE congrats goes out to my cousin Cody and his wife Deena who welcomed their newest addition into the family last night!  Little Eliana Reece graced everyone with her appearance last night just after 7 pm.  We haven't met her yet, but we have seen video - she is beautiful.  I also heard from her Aunt (my cousin Casey), and her Grandma (My Auntie Bev) that she is truly perfect!  She has a full head of dark hair that I am sure her dad is super jealous of!  :)  Congrats again Cody, Deena and Big Brother Austin!!

Next piece of excitement.......

We have been waiting to hear about Olivia and her funding from the government for School that starts in just under 3 weeks!  The call came in today - she has been approved for PUF (Program Unit funding) for a Severe Communication Delay.  I know that sounds scary - the whole "Severe" thing, but truly it will benefit Olivia in the long (and short) run.  This means she will be starting school after Labour day!  GASP!!!  The classes are very small with a great child to staff ratio, there are therapists that work with the kids all the time, and the program it's self is very Speech intensive.  So hopefully we will see Olivia's words increase dramatically.  I am a little sad to think that my baby is going to school!  She is still so little (some of her clothes are still 12-18 months, and she will be three in just over a month!), she gets mistaken at the park all the time for a kid who's just over 1.  But we hope that this school year will bring lots of positive changes for our little Lou Lou!

This kid is going to School!!

Photo Dump!


Slip and Slide Fun at Nana and Gpa's, unfortunately I missed Mike on the slip and slide!! :)








Leo and Olivia having fun, cooling off in Nana's sink!
Hard to believe these two are 14 months apart!


I know the pic is blurry - but this is Olivia's new thing, she covers her mouth and says "OHHH NOOO!"


Dog Days of Summer - EAston gets a chance to cool off in the sprinkler!


Mike's new baby!

Easton would just lay on top of the sprinkler!


We spent the day out at our friend's place in Chestermere.



Easton slept for 2 days after his day in the lake!!


Olivia loves the boat!
