Haddie's 1st Birthday

My baby sister turned 1 years old yesterday.   I can't believe it's already been a year and oh what a year it's been!    Since we just moved to Austin a few weeks ago, it was exciting to have family at one of our birthdays.   Daddy took lots of pictures because lets face it, Mommy is not very good with the camera.  Here's what he came up with:

Love,

Emerson and Hadley

"Aunt Cookie made sister's cake... it was YUMMY!"

 "Aunt Meredith, so what did you think of the potato salad?"

 "Sister says that she plans on marrying Liam when she grows up"

"Oh yeah, I'm coming for you!"

 "....on your marks... get set.... go"

 "Mom, back away from the cake and nobody gets hurt"

 "Yep, there's some vanilla in this for sure"

 "Boy am I'm staying up late tonight"

 "what you never saw a girl with frosting on her nose before"

 "does this hat make my hair look big"

 "Jessica, you need a bandaid?"

 "Jessica, when you come next?"

 "Nana, if you stop the flow of ice cream, you will not like what you see"

 "Look at Pa Pa and Grandma... they're silly"

 "Aunt Cookie, why don't you like your picture taken... you're beautiful!"

 "So this is what I've been missing" "Can wait for Christmas!"



Long Time No See

It has been over four months since our last post and Hadley and I are so sorry about the delay. A lot has happened in the Barr household so time and access to our blog has been limited. At the end of August our family moved from the D.C. metro area to Austin, TX. Hadley, our parents and I have been here since August 31st and are working our way into getting settled and routines. Dad, Mom, Hadley and I drove over 1500 hundred miles with Bob our cat in one car... can you only imagine what that car ride was like :). At any rate, we made it and love all the space that we have now, including our very own swimming pool. It's been about two weeks now and so far we are close to getting adjusted to our new school. Although, I'm not going to lie, I miss some of my friends from D.C. Mom and Dad managed to catch a few snapshots along the way so here they are below.

BTW... Haddie and I made a pact to keep the blog updated more often too!
Love,
Emerson & Hadley

"Did you estimate this as part of the moving quote?"

"Now, that's a tape gun"

"Nana, you're crazy!"

"Nana, no one told me it would be this hot"

"Got anymore crackers Nana?"

"Nana, I dig your baby bath"

"Check it out Mama, I found a Lizard"

"Mama, I'll be right back.... I need to see what I can help the movers with"

"Sister found a quiet spot to take a nap while the movers finished"

"Haddie, tries but she just can't hang"
