harper's new favorite thing...SCREECHING. she loves it!

happy baby?

so harper is a happy, smiley baby. and our sweet friend jamie jamie jamie as i like to call him took some pictures of her last month at windy gap. wouldn't you know that little girl WOULDN't crack even the smallest smile. you win some you lose some i guess. none the less, here are a couple shots. i'm still waiting on the disk to see all of them.



p.s. she was more interested in feeling the grass on her feet. a girl after my own heart.

happy birthday uncle andy!!

Uncle Andy...we love you. Happy Birthday!

more bath time

Here are a couple more pictures...
Harper loves to stick out her tongue!
And this is her new bath for our time at Windy Gap...the sink. She has this hilarious little thing she lays on in there that looks like a baby lawn chair.

week 2 done.

what's harper been up to? well, besides enjoying young life camp...she also does lots of fist chewing, sticking out her tongue and SMILING! she is very popular at windy gap. here is a little snap shot of her in action right after her bath.

on a side note, i met a camper this week on her first day here. her name is kelsey and she has a 10 month old baby at home. we quickly bonded because of harper. it was sweet to hang out with her some all week. she needed her baby fix every day, so we would sit and talk about life. life for her is pretty hard as a high school student, working full time and as a mom. the dad isn't in the picture and she is trying to get some child support from him. what a gift for her to be able to come to windy gap and just be a 17 year old for an entire week. her mom and a friend is watching her little boy for the week. i literally have seen her come from death to life this week. i loved watching her in club singing her heart out with her friends. but more than anything i loved watching her walk through that door in the new christians walk and giving her a big hug in celebration of her new life with christ. please pray for her as she returns home tonight. life for her at home is drastically different. she returns to her sweet baby, but a busy full life of providing for him by herself. life won't be about her anymore after today. i pray that she brings jesus home with her. that he transforms her. and in that transforms her baby. what a beautiful picture....her new life can change her son's life too. i pray that she shares jesus' love with him.

windy gap

we made it to windy gap! and week 1 is done. week 1 is always tiring. i don't think david sat down to eat a meal once. but i always forget how amazing young life camp is. i love leading club music with david. the view is awesome. i normally just to pick a few kids to watch through out the week. this week i spotted 2 guys that looked almost pissed to be here. not sure how, this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. but they wouldn't even crack a smile during club songs. no hand clapping, no swaying...even during songs like 'I Don't Want To Miss Anything'. I mean, COME ON. but it was so fun to see them change this week. i could literally see their hearts changing. but the last club they were smiling and singing loud. it was awesome. people just seem more alive here, and i get a front row view of it each night from stage. God is moving out here in big ways. anyway, harper is adjusting really well. she loves being outside, walking around camp. well, she doesn't walk so much...but she LOVES chilling in the baby bjorn. so many new things. the flu has been going around camp, so we have to be really careful. lots of hand washing. so if you think to pray for us, pray that harper will remain healthy. so far, so good. much love to you all. i hope to be taking more pictures soon, we are finally into a groove out here.
