By the way, Harper just loves Justin Bieber. Her favorite song is Baby. I am not really sure how it all happened. At one point, she asked me if Justin Bieber was a real person. (Yes, Harper. Justin is a real boy.) Harper rocks some of his t-shirts, owns a singing Bieber doll, has watched his videos on Youtube and runs around belting out his songs...every day. I am not complaining. We recently rented his movie Never Say Never and let me just tell you: It is a MUST see! No joke. It is a remarkable story about a very talented little boy, raised by his young single mother. The movie made me laugh, sing and cry (yes, cry.) There is so much I love about this story. At the end of the day, it isn't just about Justin. It is about a teen mom doing the best she can. It is about grandparents loving a little boy regardless of the situation surrounding his birth. It's about a young manager with little to no experience believing in the talent of a twelve year old boy. It is also about a little boy who has a dream and never gave up.
Harper and I have The Fever.
We are Beliebers.
It's true.
In December of 2005, we were quickly schooled in the art of being parents. And not just your every day, run-of-the-mill, drop 'em off at the grandparents (or whom ever else will take them) parents either. We believe that in order to raise a healthy, smart, well mannered, confident child that is a pleasure to be around, you have to be knee-deep in the trenches and like it! We have a little saying - This is Harper's World...we just live in it.

Harper's World Is About To Look A Whole Lot Different....
No pictures this post. We got a new-to-us computer and I am still learning the ropes, plus...we are packing to move in just four short weeks! After almost a year, our house sold and we found a house in Fulton. Just in time too. I think Chris had grown tired of the long commute both physically and mentally. I got a taste of the single parent life, which I had grown tired of. So off we go...
Harper finishes up Pre-K the day before our scheduled closing. This phase of our lives will be bittersweet on so many levels: leaving Rochester and Harper moving from 'pre-school' to real school are really just for starters. Those who know me well realize that I have grown to depend on the accessibility of certain cultural outlets. I fear for my sanity in a place that seems to lack everything except a stagnant economy. Fortunately, our new home will have plenty of yard (over one acre!) and updating (built and decorated in 1984!) to distract me for a little while. Maybe, just maybe, I'll enter the workforce again.
Skies the limit! Pictures to come...
