TTHR
"Take the High Road" has been the Stewart family motto for as long as I can remember. My parents would call out "TTHR!" to us as we left the house growing up. When we would ask what we should do in certain situations my parents would simply say, "TTHR." It can be applied to almost every situation or confrontation we may find ourselves in. We have yet to make up our own Harmon family motto, and am not sure we can think of a better one. I still keep this motto in mind and try to apply it in my life. I think I have used it more in this past month than at any other time in my life. It can be kind of hard to do some times. :)

Alex + Abbbey
We drove down to Utah last weekend for the whirlwind wedding of Jefferson's sister Abbey to Alex. She is the last sister to be married off (in 6 months all three of them got married). We stayed with Sam and Nikki and were able to hang out with them and Summer and Josh and their girls the first night we got in. We wish we got to see them all more, but duty called.
Abbey and Alex were married in the Jordan River temple. It was a surprisingly beautiful day for a January day in Utah and so pictures weren't so bad outside. Abbey and Alex looked beautiful and so happy. We absolutely adore Alex and they truly are a perfect couple. After the ceremony we grabbed a bite to eat, changed and freshened up and headed to the reception.
The reception was beautiful. Abbey's colors were creams and golds. She made all her nieces matching headbands that were absolutely adorable! I wish I had a picture of all of them together! My brother came and took some pictures for them and it was fun to spend a few more minutes with him. Here's a few shots from the reception. I didn't bring my camera, so I don't have any candid ones of my family or anything.

Update
We recently had Bentley and Taytum evaluated by some therapists for various reasons. Bentley for her size, lack of gross motor skills, and some screaming issues that accompany eating. Taytum for her speech, or lack thereof.
They both qualify for therapy and I am feeling very relieved about it. We should be starting up in the next week or two.
My friend is a speech therapist and gave me some exercises to do with Taytum and she has grown a ton in her vocabulary and annunciation over the past couple of weeks. It is fun to hear her more and more.
In other news, Taytum was counting these big beads on one of our baby toys tonight all by herself (I was pointing at each bead) and she counted all the way to 11 by herself! I was really proud of her. I have never heard her count before. She also wore underwear tonight for about 4 hours and went in the potty once and had one little accident. I can't quite decide if I want to commit to potty training yet. We have a couple of trips in January. Maybe February?

Blogger Problems
I have a whole slew of posts waiting for pictures to be posted but I cannot get blogger to upload my pictures normally! They are all streaky and discolored. I have been trying for a week now to get a picture to load normally. It is driving me crazy!!! Anyone else having problems? Grrrrr.
Peirced.
We did it, finally. Bentley got her ears pierced today! She was such a champ! I went by myself with Bo-Bo while Jefferson was home with the other kids. Bentley was being so smiley and chatty right before she got them pierced... and right after. She cried for maybe five seconds, literally, after they were pierced, and then she was back to being smiley and happy. So cute!
