New Happenings

Things have been sort of busy round the Harris household. I managed to find myself starting a photography business! I am absolutely terr o fied (I know that's not the correct spelling but phonetically thats how I want you to ready it!). Opportunities keep falling into my lap... what am I to do?

Here is a collaboration of what prompted the start.

So even though these photos were not what I was hoping for creatively I managed to book 4 jobs the week prior to posting these photos... paying jobs. What to do :)

I guess now I have to bring home the bacon too! ahhhh who am I kidding. Life is great though!

Home!

We are home and per usual getting back into the flow of daily life. I am sure once we get settled life will be disrupted by another adventure. Currently Belle is interested in the States because of all the places we have been visiting! I guess we are doing something right ;)

I am back!!

After six years of writing it seems that family won't quit me! Enough pressure has been given for me to hit the keyboard and write away!!

Picture from our annual trip to Florida where Isabelle's cousin met us for some of the fun!

The Land

Right now we are at my parents house running free on 'the land'!! Who doesn't love outdoor spaces and being able to do anything you want?! Nate showed up yesterday and we celebrated my moms birthday with a good ole clay shoot and an open fire with hotdogs, chips, beer and marshmallows! The dogs ran and played and Iz ran along with them. Also she loved throwing things in the fire... Future pyro ;)

When the sun went down the adults fought over the stars (that you can actually see away from the city) and Iz blinded us all with an LED flashlight. Tons of laughter and smiles filled the night. I look forward to this being a tradition.

Christmas Travels

We travelled to Tulsa and stayed with Nana and Papa for a week! Both Belle and I were feeling under the weather but that didn't stop the fun!

Trips to dinner, seeing Santa and just making cookies filled out days with smiles. Tis the season for family!

Sick Time

Little one hasn't been feeling so good this week. Her fever and cough have really been messing up our world!!

Since we could go to ballet, school and bible study this week we decided to travel to Tulsa and spend the holidays early and longer! We made trip yesterday and we are exhausted. Glad to be with family though!!

Decor

We decided last minute to decorate for Christmas. Our elf, named Karosee by Isabelle, showed up as well. Karosee gave Isabelle a nativity scene to teach her the true meaning of Christmas. I am loving our traditions and I love how much Isabelle loves to be in the season!

Her excitement makes my heart melt. Let's hope she is still excited when we donate all her old toys and books.... I pray she enjoys giving to others!!

School Photo

This school photo captures her cute personality! I love it!! That smile can light up the world.

Thanksgiving

There are so many things to be thankful for but the top this year was being able to travel and see family.

We were able to see Nates great aunt and her family for dinner! So wonderful for Isabelle to meet them and for me too. We had a great dinner at Zios and spent the whole meal catching up like a family would.

Then Thanksgiving day we traveled to my side of the family for a feast! Two of my dads sisters were able to make it and a wonderful cousin of mine. We haven't seen each other in so many years and it's almost like time hasn't passed. Family will always be family no matter the time.

May everyone feel loved by family. We sure are.

COG Railway

Today was just a little bit chilly... So cold actually! We decided to take the train up the mountain Pikes Peak instead of hiking around. The views were amazing! The snow and wind chill prevented us from going to the top but it still was pretty great in my opinion. The down side would have to be the cost. Sure beats walking though :)
