The Harvey's Life

This is Emma on the caricell, she loved it. When it was all done, she stood at the fence and kept pointing. And lets just say not too happy when we left. These are the Elk that we saw on the way back from the beach, Emma missed them, she was fast asleep. Emma and Mommy at the beach. BRRRRR! She loved the flowers, and amazingly didn't rip it off it's stem. Emma smelling the flowers, she had this face beacuse this was the 5th time I had asked her to smell it so I could get the picture. What a trooper! This last weekend Matt had Saturday school in Pasco. We are in Vancouver and he thought that he would be able to go to the one in Portland, but instead he got to drive all the way back to Pasco for a 1/2 day class, woo hoo. So Matt dropped Emma and I off with our good family friend Pam Pedersen, who lives in Cathlamet. About 20Min's from Long View. We spent Friday afternoon second hand shopping, it was a blast. Emma got to see some puppies, that made her day. We stayed the n...

Well we got to come down to Vancouver early, we got here on Wednesday the 15 th instead of our planned Sunday the 19 th . It worked our really well because Matt got some overtime and we got to go to the Oregon Zoo. The next weekend he has Saturday school a nd the takes aways a lot from the weekend. So we got to have a family day at the zoo, Emma loved it. We didn't get to see everything but t hat will give us that much more to look forward to the next time. She loved the fish, bears, ducks, anything that she could recognize or that moved. It was great to see her so excited about it. She is at such a fun sta ge right now, although I can't think of one that I haven't enjoyed yet. I am sure there will be moments to come though. Well for now that is all. Hope you enjoy the pictures of our fun day. Much Love, Anna

Sorry it has been so long. I was waiting until we had our first real appointment about the baby. We went in thinking that we were going to hear the heart beat and instead we got to see the baby. Our Dr. is awesome and knows how much I love having conformation of things. So she said I think we will do an ultrasound instead. They got a new machine and it was great. You can't make out much yet, we are only 11 weeks along; but you could see the heart beating and it moving all around. "Enjoy the room now baby, it wont be long until you wont have any". I thought to myself. The best part for me was when Harvey was holding Emma and told her that this was her new baby brother or sister. Just then the baby moved and Emma squealed, it made my heart swell. Needless to say everything is going well and baby just keeps on growing. Emma also had a check up that day, and had to get the rest of her shots. She didn't like them much but they are the last of them until kindergarten. She i...
