Three Special People.....
Three Special Days!
The Harpers have had three very special days recently and I wanted to share a few pictures of each of these important events! Last Friday, Beckett had his half birthday! We always celebrate the kid's half birthdays with a trip out for ice cream, so for Beckett's special day he picked Maggie Moo's! Nana and Papa joined us for our yummy treat to honor our 6 and 1/2 year old!
Special Day #2On Monday, Helen began "Mother's Day Out" at Miss Jennifer's house! We were looking for a one day a week opportunity for Helen to go play with some other kids and have fun, but it is almost impossible to find any day "school" programs that only offer one day! Most of the programs around here for 3 year olds are 2 or 3 days a week. We feel so fortunate that Miss Jennifer has re-opened her former day-care in her downstairs area for Helen, Carlie, Carson and Maura! Helen was so excited to take her pink camouflage lunch box and her pink backpack and head off for the day! She had a blast! Miss Jennifer has some awesome toys and you should see her playground! I'd put it up against any other daycare playground around! Helen enjoyed everything about the day and can't wait for next Monday!

Special Day #3!Today was Sean's 40th birthday! We had a great day celebrating with him! He took the day off from work and wanted to go to the mountains to fish. We started the day with breakfast and presents and then headed to the zoo for Beckett's second oceanography class. While he was in class, Sean, Helen and I enjoyed the frog exhibit and the butterfly exhibit! Helen and Sean dressed up as bees, which is the reason for the "No Rain" song on my playlist! Blind Melon did this song years ago and had the funniest video with a little girl dressed up like a bee! We were reminded of it when we put Helen in the bee costume at the zoo. I made Sean put on the bee antenna and have his picture made with her! After the zoo, we headed to the mountains to picnic, play in the water and fish! Sean fished in a couple of different places and had a great time. He caught several fish, one of which I was close enough to get a picture of before he put it back in the water! On our way home we stopped at Buffalo Wild Wings for his birthday dinner and loaded up on chicken wings, then it was home for birthday cheesecake! What a great day!
What a pretty rainbow trout! A pretty handsome 40 year old as well! (If I do say so myself!) :)
What a precious bee! (This one's for you, Marilyn!)
Don't you love the antennas? Helen loved showing her daddy all around the zoo!

Thanks!!! I love it.
I did not realize that Jennifer was doing that. Is she still doing the MDO program at that church too?
Maura is my buddy - we talk about how our names rhyme! Whenever I see her I say "Maura Laura Laura Maura" and she just grins!
By the way, your kids were awesome in choir the other night! They are so sweet and so well behaved! Just wanted to let you know that because I know as parents we always like to know when our kids do well!!!
Happy 6.5 Birthday Beckett, I hope you ate enough ice cream for us. And Helen, congrats on your first day of school, looks like a lot of fun. Also Happy Birthday Sean! It seems just like yesterday I started hanging out with you guys and you were just in your twenties. Here's to 40 wonderful years and at least 40 more!!
