we are starting to eat by ourselves. we better find a working hose, FAST! this video doesn't show it in all it's glory, she is actually doing a GREAT job here. and she is eating rice or 'wice' which is loves.

"mooooooo"

Sorry for the rather long hiatus. I have a bum mac and so instead of trying to use it, getting frustrated, and throwing it off our deck...I just took some time away. :) But I think I'm back.

It's been awhile so here is a little update. Harper is EVERYWHERE. Talking up a storm. Every animal says "mooooo" for the time being. She likes to put on shows on our hearth. She will climb up there and sing a song and dance. She learned it from the big kids at camp this summer while we were at Sharptop for a month. She loved running around with all the older kids. I'm a little worried we may have a drama queen on our hands. Yikes! Or maybe she is just all girl. Although she loves to play in the dirt with sticks. So maybe there will be some redemption there for me. :) She is REALLY excited for Auburn and UT football. I mean, really excited. She is giving kisses like mad and we are loving every second of that!! She loves a show called Yo Gabba Gabba and literally says "gabba" all day long in hopes that she will get to watch it. Elmo comes in a close second. Here is a little video of what she has been up to lately.

uh-oh

Harp has down uh-oh, mommy, daddy, thank you, night night, duck and nose. All in her own way of course.

beach day 2.

Harper loves to 'run' with daddy.






Harper loved the grassy area by the pool. There was a lot of things to find like leaves and flowers and ANTS.



Just playin' with daddy in the pool.



Thanks Auntie Amber for the really cute dress! It's perfect for dinner for mom and dad's 3 year anniversary dinner!!


We ordered up a really pretty sunset over the dunes for our 3 year...

beeeeeeach.

We are at the beach this week! Such a prefect time for a vacation for the Ott family. And Harper has loved it. We have TONS of pictures. Sorry to bore you.

We are staying in a friends condo at Water Sound. It is a resort type area right near Seaside and Watercolor. It is pretty swanky. Harper spent some time at the beach yesterday. And also did some pool time. Here are some pics.

At Water Sound they have preserved the dunes. They are amazing. There is surf thistle that grows in the sand and it smells SO good. We are on our way to the beach...








We got Harper a float for the pool and she just lounged in it. It was a hit. The water was really cold, but she didn't even bat an eye. That's how we raise 'em over here in the Ott house. :)





A video to come of Harper's favorite 'words'.

Nashville is sunk...

So just in case you didn't get the memo...Nashville flooded. Yes. Nashville flooded. For real. The rainfall hit its highest ever here. And because of it, our city sunk. Lives have been lost. Damage to this city is catastrophic. The Opryland Hotel flooded. LP field flooded. Downtown Nashville flooded. But more importantly people's homes flooded. Most of our friends have significant damage. One of them reports at least $200,000 worth. There is a video that I watched that shows a satellite building from a school floating down the street. This is serious. Check it out: The Tennessean
