Always looking for a bargain, we decided to go to the grand opening of the old Riviera Theater downtown this past Tuesday! Regal Cinemas has restored the old theater and they were showing recently released movies for $1.00 each! The three of us went to see "Meet the Robinsons" and we each got our own popcorn and drink for under $10.00! (And parking was free!) My kind of day! We started school a little earlier than usual that morning so we could get to the 12:15 show! Of course, we had to make a trip to Mast General Store for candy after the movie! It was a fun afternoon!

I heard how easy it was to set up a blog site, so I thought I'd give it a try. My intent will be to ocasionally post pictures and Harper family updates so that our friends and family can keep up with our latest endeavors. So here we go.......

As you all know, our most exciting news in the last two weeks has been that our 5 year old son, Beckett started Kindergarten! He is doing well and loves everything about it, except for the occasional grumblings when it comes time for handwriting. We are homeschooling this year and it is going very well. Thanks so much to all of you for your support and encouragement. We have learned so much about the homeschool movement and have been so impressed with the many families we have met who homeschool as well as the organizations that support homeschool families. Most of all, we are grateful for the opportunity to continue Beckett's (and Helen's) education at home where we can pass on our faith and values and teach them the most important lesson of all... how much God loves them.

We would love to hear from you all. I'll try to post at least once a week and I'll try to learn about all of these options. Right now, I'm not really sure what I'm doing and I don't know how this is going to turn out. We'll see. Take care!
