The Harpers: June 2012
http://tennesseeharpers.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. We all know Cate loves to sing! I love that Cate loves to sing for so many reasons. I love that singing is the way she expresses her joy, and that she does it most often when she is alone in her room, and especially the bathroom. (Jake and I have had a lot of laughs listening to her private potty concerts! Lately, most of her thoughts and questions have even been coming out in song form. It kind of reminds me of my grandmother. Rolling in the Deep. Monday, June 25, 2012. Needless ...

The Harpers: December 2012
http://tennesseeharpers.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. It has been cold and dreary here since Christmas. Though the kids have had tons of new toys to keep them busy and fun friends coming over to help pass the time, eventually we all just got tired of being indoors. We were ready for some snow! Without a doubt, the most memorable part of this trip was how completely and totally fearless Little Miss Cate was on the hill and how much she LOVED it! Here are some fun phone pics from the night:. It was really COLD! Max's note to Santa.

The Harpers: Cate's 5th Birthday!
http://tennesseeharpers.blogspot.com/2013/03/cates-5th-birthday.html
Friday, March 8, 2013. It's been so long since I've blogged I don't even know where to start! So many things are missing from here that I want to remember . Well, I suppose the most important thing that has happened since I last blogged was that my sweet little baby girl turned FIVE! I'm still kind of wrapping my head around that one. How could it have been FIVE years since this? Ok I feel better. Well, thankfully, Cate has blossomed into a beautiful, smart, sweet, FUN big girl! Cate and sweet friend Emma.

The Harpers: March 2013
http://tennesseeharpers.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Things I love about Cate. Five is such a precious age! They all are, really, in their own way. But I especially love five. And I just wanted to take a minute here to record some of the things that I love so very much about five-year-old Cate:. 1) I love that five-year-old Cate sings at the TOP OF HER LUNGS every time she goes to the bathroom, not realizing that people can hear her in there even when the door is shut. Sounds like this only WAY LOUDER:. 6) I love that 5-year-old ...

Monday, October 15, 2012. How tall this fall? Well, we have been a very busy bunch so far this fall! School and extras have been full of excitement, we took an unprecedented family vacation to the beach in October (! Jake and Max have gone on a couple of "guy weekend" trips to Pigeon Forge and the Baylor / WV game in West Virginia, and Cate just finished up a fun season of soccer with the Lady Giraffes! Pics at Maple Lane Farms. They are getting so big! Here's a comparison to last year:.

The Harpers: STAR STUDENT!
http://tennesseeharpers.blogspot.com/2013/01/star-student.html
Monday, January 14, 2013. All of the students in Cate's Fab Five class get a special week when they are the STAR STUDENT! Cate has been prepping for this week for a loooooong time; all winter break, in fact. She was totally beaming when I woke her up this morning and told her it was her star student week! Today, she got to tell her friends all about herself, and her teachers said she did a fabulous job! OK the picture is from right before she turned 4 (Mommy doesn't print pictures very often!

The Harpers: September 2012
http://tennesseeharpers.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 16, 2012. Back to School - Round 2! Cate was extremely excited to start school this fall! Seriously all she talked about all summer long was how she could not wait to be a FAB FIVE! She knows from watching last year that the Fab Fives get to do some really cool stuff, and she was super giddy on her first day of school when her moment had finally arrived! Incidentally, I had no trouble marching her in, hugging her goodbye, and getting my party started either! Proudly writing her name.

Sunday, January 29, 2012. Max is playing Upward basketball this fall and loving it! I haven't had too much of an opportunity to take pictures at the games or practices (I've got enough on my plate trying to watch the action and keep little sissy occupied) but I got this shot of Max on the court at last week's practice and I like it so much I just had to share! Hopefully I can post some more pics or some video of him playing some time soon. He really is doing great at it! As always, he makes me so proud!

The Harpers: The best kind of friends
http://tennesseeharpers.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-best-kind-of-friends.html
Tuesday, January 1, 2013. The best kind of friends. One of the best parts of my Christmas break has been getting to see one of my best friends in the world, Angela! I have been friends with this girl since we were 15 years old, which means we have about 20 years (! Of friendship under our belts! D I hope the years to come will bring Angela and me many more opportunities to get together and make new memories with our families! She is the very best kind of friend! Costa Rica, summer 1999. Surely there will...
