Long Overdue!

Who knew having a blog, a kid, a spouse and a job could be so time consuming! The obvious answer? Not me.

Back by popular demand, the Hardy's have a fresh new look and some pictures to share. We'll make more of an effort in 2011 to keep you updated.

PAT Carnival & Memorial Day Weekend

Hanging out at the Parents As Teachers "Carnival" - unfortunately, we just got word that our PAT educator has been laid off due to her part time status and the massive budget cuts in Missouri. Our last visit is 6/1 until further notice. BUMMER!!

Chilling out - Poolside, ice cold milk on the table

Loving my new four legged cousin Pi (favorite phrase - "Hi, Pi!")

Soooooo tired.........

"Whadya mean it's time to go in?"

May 2010

Grandma Judy (or Nah-Nah) visited for the first two weeks of May - we were very busy with activities while she was here!

Grandma Judy got to try out the Wii and beat everyone at bowling, not bad for a first timer!

Aunt Allison and Grandma Hardy came to Columbia for Mother's Day as well. The last picture is of a hailstorm while Grandma Judy was here. It sounded like marbles were being thrown at the windows - everyone was up at 2am looking out the window. Alex never stirred!

Spring has Sprung!

This weekend we attended the MU vet school open house and hung out with Ava Barbaro. Alex also pitched in and helped plant her Elmo Tomato seeds from Aunt Allison. I have no doubt we will have beautiful red tomatoes thanks to Alex's green (and heavy handed) thumb. Enjoy the pics!
