Hi Everyone! Just wanted to check in and let you know that we are experiencing technical difficulties at the Harper Hullabaloo! Our computer has "caught a virus" and not doing so well these days! Sean has tried all sorts of things, but it looks like we will have to take our computer to a professional to fix the problem! Things are going well here. Not much to report. It is VERY cold and we are spending a lot of time indoors! I'll check back in soon with updates, but wanted to let you know that it might be a few days before I am able to put any pictures up! Take care, all!

Happy Birthday Helen!
Helen turns three years old today! We celebrated her birthday last Thursday night with a "Strawberry Shortcake" birthday party! Helen had fun eating pizza and cake with her family and friends! The last three years have flown by! She is changing and growing SO much! We are so thankful that God has blessed our family with Helen Elizabeth!



Belly Dancing Princess!

This outfit was one of Helen's
favorite gifts! She
tried it on and danced
for everyone at the
birthday party!










Beckett played his first basketball game this past Saturday morning! His team is named the "Flash"! He had quite a cheering section with all of his grandparents present for the big event! It was fun to watch his team (who had practiced together two times and none had played basketball before) as they tried to figure out what to do! Beckett actually scored two points! We are so proud!

On Sunday, we went to hear the Oak Ridge Symphony. They had a special family concert. There were opportunities for the kids to make their own instruments as well as try out some of the real ones! Here are pictures of Helen making sounds on the violin and Beckett making a jingle bell paint stirrer thingy! :) We all had a great time!

Christmas 2007 Memories....
Leaving cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve!

Wearing their new toboggans and sweat-bands from Toby Mac!
Aren't they cool?
A new baby and stroller for Helen and a DJ machine for Beckett. He can really mix the beats!


Welcome to Who-ville!
Just before Christmas, we made a trip to Brentwood to see Granbob and Grankaki. They took us to see "The Grinch" created out of ICE! The kids had a blast! It was 8 degrees in the building which explains the blue coats that they gave us to wear in there! All of the Grinch characters and scenes from the book/cartoon were carved out of ice! Beckett especially enjoyed the ice slides!

Happy New Year!
It has been a busy Christmas season and I fully intend to share a few Christmas pictures, but this is all I have time for today! I need to get Christmas decorations put away so we can begin school on Thursday! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends! Have a blessed 2008!
