Harmony's Birthday

We celebrated my cousin Harmony’s 8th birthday on Saturday afternoon. WOW, there soooo many kids on that side of the family. My mother didn’t have any siblings, but HER mother had 15!!! And THEY all had kids, whom had kids, and now those kids are having kids. Crazy! So, since everyone else is doing it, I don’t need to right now :)

Anyway, Harmony’s the most quietly athletic little 8-year-old that I know! And I’m proud that we’re related. Though I don’t see her as much as I did before (college, business, LIFE), she knows how proud of her I am. We even share our own elaborate handshake that half of the kids her age wouldn’t be able to execute. It's funny, everytime she's spots me in a crowded room, she'll drop what she's doing or ignore anyone she's talking to to RUN over to me and give me a handshake... Now that's special! I made the handshake on purpose so only WE can share that. She got it down in ONE try! Shoot, even I mess it up sometimes. But not her, she’s flawless.

Her new sports are soccer and baseball. She was into basketball and any other activities that involved throwing a round object. I’m telling you, her hand-eye (and now –foot) coordination is AWESOME! The word to describe it goes great with her name, harmonious. Don’t be surprised to see her on the tube as the Seattle (or Oklahoma) Storm’s MVP shooting guard or World Cup women’s soccer team.

Until then, you can see her here on my weblog. Here are some photos from Saturday afternoon. Enjoy!
