Nat and Drew start soccer











Natalie and Drew began soccer this afternoon! We will find out what their teams' names are today. They were both so thrilled to get their practice uniforms, compliments of Dad!

Natalie turns 8!




High School Muscial was the theme of this year's party for Natalie! We had her cousins and two school friends spend the night with us at Andy's parent's house in Gadsden. We had a great time with the pinata, games, swimming, and watching HSM over and over again. The girls finally fell asleep around 2 a.m.

Harps Move to Southside Alabama

Drew's teacher, Mrs. Schrierer.




Many of you may not know that Andy and I have decided to move to Southside, AL, near Andy’s parents who have given us some land on the river next door to them so that we may build a home here. Our house in Leeds is on the market now and we have been moving for the past two weeks. We are staying with his parents until we build and so far, so good. I have been so busy with the studio, moving, getting ready for school, etc., that I have not had the opportunity to call you all and I apologize for that.

I will have the same contact info – our vonage traveled very nicely up I-20 – except for mailing address (see below). I know that this is a major change for our family, so please keep us in your prayers as we make this transition. It is only 40 minutes from Leeds, and the drive seems to be getting quite routine. Also, my cell phone rings inside the house, but I cannot hear the caller after a second or two. So, I may have to call you back on the vonage phone.

Andy plans to continue the shop in Leeds at least two days a week and the other days, he will work with his parents at their studio.

On a lighter note (sort of), Natalie and Drew started at Southside Elementary today. Natalie has Mrs. Beck for third grade. Drew has Mrs. Shrierer for first! Can you believe it? I held it together mostly, but now that I see the pictures, I can’t get over how much they’ve grown. Say a prayer for them, if you get a chance! They don’t know anyone at their new school.

Thanks for all of your support and love,

Leslie
