15 Weeks: Have Harper, Will Travel

My daughter is awesome! She traveled to CA like a seasoned vet. She was the best behaved babe onboard. She handled the three hour time difference like it was nothing! She slept well each night and was an angel each day. My awe in her is unending.
Friday morning we flew to CA. Her Grandparents Wax were so excited to see her. Grammie came into the terminal and couldn't wait to get H in her arms. Grandpa Wax met us outside with a sign: Welcome to California, Harper! Very sweet.

Friday night we took it easy, because what a weekend we had in store....
Saturday morning we had a lovely surprise: Great Aunt Debby flew in from Pasadena to meet Harper! Saturday afternoon Auntie Kristie picked Harper, Debby and me up and we went to a gorgeous bridal shower in Atherton for Lauren B. (Congrats Lauren & Glen!) It was so lovely to see her, her family and friends, and introduce Miss Harper to the bunch. Saturday evening we had a BBQ at Auntie Kristie's house with a few friends and of course it was very momentous to introduce Harper to her Uncle Chris and her cousins Drew & Matthew. They all got a long very well. It was super cute. Thanks for a great party!

Sunday, another 90+ degree day, we had a get together with 50 of our closest friends to bring Harper into the fold. It was a great party and so wonderful to see all the other kids Harper will be running around with soon enough.

Monday we loaded up two cars and went to the SF Zoo. It was 40 degrees cooler by the ocean! Harper slept the entire time, but we still took some cute pictures.

Tuesday Grammie and Harper got a day to themselves. Wednesday morning we went to our friend Patrick's Pre-School Graduation, then headed to RWC to visit Kathy B. and on the way home we met Bailey and Aimee for a much needed coffee.

Can you say whirlwind trip!?!?! Thank you Auntie Kristie & Uncle Chris for a great BBQ, thank you Grammie & Grandpa for a fantastic party, and thank you to all our friends and family who made time to meet Miss H! Seeing all of you meant the world to us!
