Wait till you see this...

Yesterday afternoon, Ari was eating and I was teasing Bauer with a paci-clip. I kept making this 'squirt' noise and poking him on his nose. Well, she started laughing and I grabbed the camera and filmed this unexplainable giggle. How cute! She couldnt stop and even had tears in her eyes as she was laughing so hard. Oh, the giggling has only just begun!

Happy Haller Happenings

With school ending this week and a 5-month old rolling around, we've been busy beavers! We have had visitors and tons of fun, not to mention a giant amount of squash, peas, beans and zucchini in the garden to harvest (and eat!). Here are some snapshots of our active lives.

Lots of smooching to remember what brought us together in the first place ;) (Ari is a little embarrassed!)

Lots of lovin'. After the Hallers, Aunt Shell came to visit! She made Ari laugh and sleep and bought her some super stylin' clothes. Thanks!

And of course, lots of sleeping and eating.

Ari is so beautiful when she is asleep. Her skin is so soft and smooth and her little lips are so pretty. I know ALL moms feel this way: all the world's problems are forgotten when you watch your babies sleep.

the Haller Clan

Bill, Barb and Katie came to visit for a long weekend... we had a great time gardening, playing scrabble, photo-taking, cooking and most of all, laughing and being entertained by Ari.

Katie is usually behind the camera... which is wonderful because she is so talented!  But, its also sad because we don't have many pics of her and Ari.

Thanks to them for visiting, talking and eating all the food I prepared.  We are looking forward to Michigan!
