Ready for the week so we can rest!

It has been a busy weekend here at the Harper Hullabaloo! It all started on Thursday night as we celebrated Beckett's birthday. He requested chili for dinner with brownie sundaes for dessert! Here is a picture of our seven year old with his brownie "cake"!
Then on Friday after we picked up the van, we headed to the Winter Jam concert in Knoxville. This was Beckett's birthday present and he had a blast. We all had a good time! He took a friend and we also met some friends there. Here is a picture of Helen wearing her Toby Mac toboggan and acting silly before the concert. They boys were having fun giving her rabbit ears!
Will, Beckett and Tristan. They "got their dance on" when Toby rocked the house!
Beckett's friend Will spent the night and we all went to Home Depot on Saturday morning to make race tracks. Beckett had been looking forward to this since last month when they made the trinket boxes. He was really wanting to make something that was more "manly"! It was fun! After that, we went to Beckett's basketball game and then played outside all afternoon!
Beckett had his first baseball practice on Sunday after church. I loved how dirty he got, so I had to take his picture. (I put it at the top because I forgot to put it here in the correct sequence of the weekend!) He wore his new Old Navy shirt from his cousins Ty and Marley to practice. It is very cool. He is playing in the machine pitch league this year and of course, Sean will be his coach. He had fun at practice, and then came home for Growth Group! I hung out with the kiddos this week and we were all glad to be outside since the time changed and the weather has been warmer! Here are a few sweet and silly faces of some of the kids in our group!

















*I'm hopeful to hear from our case manager within the next day or so to give us an update on our adoption waiting list number! I've been prowling around on the Yahoo list serve for our agency, and it looks like we might have moved down the list a few numbers. We are anxious to hear about our official number! I'll update as soon as I hear! Have a great week!

What a fun post! It looks like you guys have been very busy. Beckett looks so macho in his new shirt. We hope he likes the rest of his presents. The silly faces were very cute. Can't wait to see if you guys moved up on the list. Have a great week and I totally know what you mean...leaving a comment doesn't take a minute, I don't know why more people don't do it. :) Miss you guys and hope to see you very soon.
