Camp Thurman!

Sweet Harper had her first trip to Camp Thurman. When it was time to sign up for this year, she was a little uncertain about going (and being away from me). She was especially fearful of the zip line. I didn't sign her up because I wasn't going to force anything she wasn't comfortable with. A few months later, her brother sang CT's praises and talked her into going. Alas, it was too late and camp was full. However, they have a very sweet week for 4 and 5 year olds only that is only a half day and a great way to ease in. It also happened to fall on Hudson's last week of school which was both a blessing and a curse. 

The first day was on Memorial Day, so we all got to take her!

Ready to go and with her sweet (BAYLOR!) counselor, Jitterbug:

There are only 5 little girls in each group and fortunately, she knew two of them (and became fast friends with the other two):

First day was a success!!! I picked her up and she was thrilled. She LOVED camp!!! 

We loaded up the others and headed to my parent's to kick off (unofficial) summer:

Fin telling us, that's a wrap! She was done!

Sisters and Colonial

Have I mentioned how patient Harps is???

I LOVE this picture!! Love how Fin is looking at her big sister. She adores Harper. She shadows her during the day and wants to do whatever she is doing. I pray that they will always be best friends:

Colonial weekend! One of our favorite weekends of the year!

When you go low at Colonial...you get a snack!

My (newly obsessed with TCU and breaking his BU mom's heart) boy and I:

Hole 13!

So, a hawk cornered a squirrel and apparently killed it:

And it was the most fascinating thing FW had ever seen...meanwhile, some golf tournament was going on:

2nd grade Awards!

Second grade awards!!! So hard to believe the end of the school year was rapidly approaching...but we could not be more proud of this boy right here! He received FOUR awards at his awards program! Three reading and a math award. My little bookworm:

We were all so very proud of him!!! Not pictured, but also there: Finnie, Pop and Daddy:

First week of summer...for Harper...

Lunch with Daddy:

Hudson wanted a "fro-yo" after school:

WILD CHILD! 4 kids (including me) have used this high chair...she is the ONLY one that has ever stood up. And she does it all.the.time.:

Harper wins the patient award:

Recital!

My sweet girl had her THIRD recital! She loves to dance and I love to watch her! She was not feeling 100% at recital, which made me sad for her, but she still did awesome!

She loved her tap costume!! "Life's a Happy Song", perfect for my Harper Joy!

Her company (competitive group) dance, "Cows":

Ballet, "Dream a little dream":

Poor Fin wasn't feeling well and had spiked a fever. My mom graciously stayed home with her, so she could rest and we could focus on Harps.

Her Daddy brought her flowers:

Just missing our Finnie:

Pop loves to see her dance!

We had to move recital to a local high school instead of the usual performing arts center. The girls got dressed in a classroom. While they were killing time, I caught a cute shot of them:

Lazy Day..

The girls and I had a lazy, pajama day in the midst of the craziness of May:

I turn my back for one minute and this is what happens! That's why we call her #wildchild!

Harper, "I have a lot of friends. But, Fin is my BEST friend". I pray they always are!

First and Last..
