Harmony is 7!!!!!!


How did this happen? I swear just yesterday this was Harmony.


Today I looked at her and she has grown up!

She had her first birthday party this year that she didn't have to share with Daniel. (He wasn't thrilled about a High School Musical party, although he was a very willing participant when it came down to it.)

Harmony is such a joy and a help in my life! Eva really does think that Harmony is her second mother!



Harmony loves sports, especially soccer, basketball and tumbling. (Especially from the deck to the trampoline!)

She just made a competitive soccer team where most of the girls are 9 and 10. (I know-total bragging!)

She does a front flip in between these two shots, I just wasn't fast enough to get it all on camera!



She loves school and can't wait to be a second grader (except her best friend and twin Macklyn is moving and she is not sure how she will survive!).


She is great note maker she writes notes to everyone in the family and leaves them on our pillows. She even wrote a note to herself and left it on her own pillow with a treat. Then she walked out of the room and walked back in and said "Oh look I got a note!"
(I do write her love notes, but I guess not as frequently as she needs.)


She is also a great example of selflessness and kindness. She always shares her treats and she usually spends her allowance on her brothers or friends. This is the sign she made for her bedroom door.


We love you Harmony, you are our precious princess forever!

The kids are famous even before they get here

Here is a video for an article by the Salt Lake Tribune about the Kennards who are the people running the orphanage where my (potential) kids are. I can't point out who they are in this blog to protect my pending adoptions. But they are all there and beautiful! It is great article and these are great people!



This next video is a mini preview of the work my Dad and associates are doing in Ethiopia. It is so exciting!
