Ben and the Bunny

Ben held the bunny for the first time last week! :) See Reagan's little face at the door in the background? She had a severe case of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).

Dance Banquet 2018

We celebrated another great year of dance on Sunday evening! 

I love these friends! :) And their kids!

Lainey with her big sis Kennedy (who's going to UT next year!).

I love it when an 18-year-old and I wear the same dress. :)

Lainey and a sweet friend McKenzee

Cousin Tom's Baptism

Baby Tom was baptized on Sunday! He was as cute as ever!

He discovered that his dad was wearing a sticker...

Thank goodness for that sticker!

The sticker was replaced by a shiny dish. :)

And...he's over it. :)

Godparents!

I love this photo!

Lainey LOVES Tom so much.

Tom loves spoons.

Tom and Uncle Alex (Whitney's brother)

Lainey and some cousins...Tom, Luke, and Nate. Luke and Nate are Lainey and Walker's second cousins, once removed. So confusing. (My mom and Luke and Nate's mom are cousins!)

Lainey was in HEAVEN holding this baby! Walker and Ben were in Waxahachie at a baseball tournament so sadly, they missed the baptism. :( 

These three played some game...who knows what the rules were or why Lainey is looking so sassy.

Congratulations, Tom! :) We love you!

Reagan! Dance Recital! And More Baseball!

Sweet dog. She can't hear anything anymore. So, when I go out the front door, she literally stares at it until I come back through. However, when I walk around and enter through the back door, I can sneak up on her and take a picture. :) It reminds me of this scene from the movie The Secret Life of Pets where the dog sits and waits for his owner to return. :)

Moving on...

Lainey had her dance recital on Saturday, the evening before Mother's Day. It was amazing but it lasted almost four hours! She and I were exhausted afterwards; it had been a long day for everyone (including Ben and Walker who had been at baseball all day). For the first time in many years I sat out in the audience in order to be available for Ben and Walker. I loved watching the show from the audience; it was incredible! 

  

Aunt Tisha, Uncle Greg, Kate, and Brooke came to see Lainey! :) It was so fun. 

Bud, Yiyia, and Ella also came to see Lainey!

AND! Uncle Matt, Aunt Whitney, Tuck, and Emmy came to see Lainey! It was a full house! 

Ben is working towards standing (and walking) unassisted for short periods of time! It's pretty incredible to witness.

Walker's little team, wearing their blue and pink for Mother's Day. ;) They gave us roses, too, which was pretty sweet! (Walker is in front...he is the one whose foot is the furthest forward.)

Walker is #86. And sometimes #32. But Sunday, he was #86.

After baseball, we went to Emmy's house to swim with Tom. He's darling!

What a cute smile!

Ben and Sofi bonded.

Oh, that dog! She's so funny.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and a nice Mother's Day. Although it was busy, it was a good weekend for the Harris family! :)
