First Day of School 08

Natalie and Drew began 4th and 2nd grade today! Can't believe how much they've grown!

Drew Turns 7!

Drew celebrated his birthday with a party at home with his family. His favorite gifts: his Wii Game and Mario Cart. And, don't forget about the other games that he got, too, for his Wii!

Spring Break 2008

We spent the weekend in Pensacola and visited McGuire's Pub. :-) Drew did not like it and was ready to go as soon as we got there. Natalie loved it!

Snow Fell in Alabama!!!!

The kids were so excited when school let out and there was snow falling! Then, we got more on the following Saturday!

New Year's Eve 2008

We celebrated with fireworks at the Harp's house on 12/31/07. Had a great time! Andy and his brother Paul did a wonderful job with the fireworks display!

Here is Natalie, cousin Caleigh, cousin Laurel, cousin Eli, and brother Drew.

Natalie loves sparklers!

So does Drew!

Christmas at the Harps

Christmas began with the Harp family making a Panda cake. Drew loves panda bears, so we decided on the black and white bear. It was so good. You mix a pound cake mix with a regular yellow cake mix. So good! I think Andy might have carpal tunnel syndrome after decorating it!

Next in the oven was Christmas cookies for Santa. Drew choose ginderbread for the big guy while Natalie stuck with chocolate chips. The kitchen smelled so wonderful!

Then came Christmas eve! We had a wonderful time at the Harps and got to see aunts and uncles and cousins -- and opened presents!

Natalie got lots of wonderful gifts - new PJs. So did Drew.

Santa arrived at our house at 1:30 a.m.! Natalie heard him and woke all us up! She got her North Face jacket and iPod.

Then Christmas Day and we traveled to my sister's house and had a great time.

This is me, my brother, Tom, my sister Laura, my sister Lynda, and my mother, Barbara.
