Most recent happenings

The Hartigans have been busy...yes, those are mighty big machines in the yard. Fun and exciting times as we watch the amazing transformation of our yard to someday soon include...a pool! We now have designated "outdoor clothes" and a layer of dirt over the entire downstairs. It is a boy's dream none the less. We can't wait to start making memories when all is complete!

Fun times waiting for warm weather

We think James is going to be the fashion forward type of guy. People will look to him for the next up and coming trend. See here: Ugg boots, natural colored fleece and Cars themed undies. And you have to be able to talk the talk if you are going to walk the walk so while wearing this trend, please note you must march around singing loudly. We believe these particular pictures were capturing "where oh where is susie, way down yonder in the paw paw patch". Oh and, these boots are FARMER BOOTS, do not call them anything otherwise. Mom tried to and was quickly corrected. Much like when she called herself Mommasita and James told her she was not a Momma Seat Belt. Then there is miss Kaitlyn. She is enjoying Brodie much more these days and Brodie seems to be bonding with his little girl too. While we have gone through a long stretch of sleepless nights with our little one, today we realized it hasn't been all for naught. Kaitlyn debuted two bottom teeth for momma this morning and giggled with glee as mom rubbed those little guys poking out of her bottom gums. Hopefully there will be a little reprieve before the next ones decide to reak havoc to our slumber. A tough predicament we are encountering is getting James not to blow rasberries at us when we tell him what to do...especially when his sister is constantly doing that to him whenever he talks to her. Whoops.

Tub Time

They will hate us for these someday (there are others we have opted not to post!), but it's always good to have some blackmail for the teenage years. Quick update - Kaitlyn is enjoying Music Together class and James is also loving the fact that he's back at music after a year hiatus and this time he has a baby sister to show off. Kaitlyn is spending her time grabbing at everything and anything - including whatever mom is preparing while wearing her and just about every toy of her brothers. She's also particularly fond of paper and computer keys. James has now joined the ranks of the big boys and is proud to be wearing undies these days, a decision he made one fine Sunday morning. He's also peddling around on his bike w/ training wheels (very very fast) and leaving mom and dad wondering where the time has gone.

Easter

What amazing weather this past Easter weekend. We had so much fun spending time outside in the yard and outside running around on Easter with family. We were lucky to have the Easter Bunny pay a special visit to James on Saturday. Good thing he isn't phased by large bunnies tromping through the backyard. He actually just wanted to show the bunny the tractor in the barn. Go figure!

To be a child again...

There really is no greater joy than watching James and Kaitlyn grow up. We are reminded again and again what an amazing gift we have in them. Kaitlyn has mastered her voice and singing ability and typically uses it all, day, long...loudly. It makes us all giggle and James is always asking "What is Kaitlyn saying???"
The past week or so we've gone Easter egg hunting, gone to a party at Mr Turtle school, we've dyed eggs twice, watched Kaitlyn relish in her sweet potatoes and demand more and more. One of us decided it was finally time to debut his knowledge of the entire ABC song in perfect pitch never missing a letter, something mom thought he just didn't want to learn. Best of all, after months and months of James asking...mom found on ebay the matching trailer for his beloved tractor. Sometimes we wish we could bottle up all of these great moments in life!
