Harper's Great Grandpa Copie turned 89 today, and Harper was in Lubbock over the weekend to help him celebrate and make her Copenhaver family debut.
It was a weekend full of laughter, tears and great memories that I will always hold close and that Robin captured through pictures for Harper to cherish.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!
Grandpa fell earlier in the week and hit his head. He ended up with stitches and a black eye. One of my favorite things about my grandpa is his humor. He is always a great sport!
The Copenhaver Clan (minus Summer, Greg and Donnie)
Four generations ... and we are each the first-born!
Crystalyn, Great Aunt Marsha (or is it just plain Snookie?) and Harper
Pat Dorsey, Grandpa and Grandma's neighbor and dearest friend, came over to help Grandpa celebrate 89 and she enjoyed holding Harper.

My cousin Katie is currently pre-vet at New Mexico State University. I am so proud of her and hope she decides to go to Texas A&M for her graduate work so I can see her more often.
Harper's Great Aunt Ellen and Uncle Mike made the trip from New Mexico to help Grandpa celebrate. I am so glad they were able to meet Harper!
Ever so curious
Meeting so many family members at once can wear a little girl out
We are constantly amazed about how fast time flies and how easy it is to loose close touch with good friends and family in our busy world. Recently, we've enjoyed the opportunity to keep up with several of our friends through their blogs. Generally, we aren't very verbose, but we love to share (especially photographs,) so we've decided to take a big step and start a sharing space of our own. Though it won't solve distance or schedule issues, we hope it will allow our friends and family to feel more connected with our growing family.
Harper is growing up!
