The Harvey's Life

Ms. Nicolle with Hailey. Ms. Nicolle with Emma. Mr. Shad with Emma. Mr. Shad with Hailey. We are in Vancouver as of now we will be returning home tomorrow, stay the night at my parents house so that Matt can go to Saturday school in Pasco, and then I think we will be going home. Last night we went over to some friends of ours who live here in Vancouver, Shad and Nicolle. We met them in Spokane when we lived there and as life does, it took us our separate ways. Yet God is great and we have really developed a great relationship with them. I think we have gotten closer now that they live here and we live in Creston. Nicolle made this yummy Chicken and Dumplings and we brought a salad. We all scarfed it down even Emma enjo...

Charlie and his big sister Bailey. Charlie and Alli my mom and dad's Golden, he loved to snuggle with her. Charlie and Hailey. Our Charlie boy. Today our beautiful, energetic, loving, and ever so sweet Charlie tragically past away. Charlie was our Border Collie mix pup that we got after our Buster boy past away this past August. He came into our lives September 25, 2009 and today we lost him. We left him at my parents house because we are in Vancouver for Matt's work for about a week. On the way here my mom called me and said, "umm, we have some bad news, Charlie got hit by a car". My heart sank, my stomach turned, and I began to cry. Our poor little Char Char. He has not been around cars all that much and at our house we have a fenced back yard. My dad was getting the rope to tie him up when there was a knock at the door and it was their neighbor saying that his wife had hit Charlie. I want to let them know that its no one's fault, that things like this ...

Polly and Angus, they are so fun. Emma, she is getting so big. She needs to stop that. Grandpa and his girls. Hailey with her first bottle of formula. Hailey is getting big too. Yeah, Matt is coming home today. The girls and I are very excited and we are prying that he has a safe trip home. But while Daddy was gone, we have been potty training and having a lot of success with it. I have been keeping Emma in her "new special panties" that she loves, and just a shirt. Well she thinks that she should just have the panties on, no shirt. Good thing we are able to keep it warm in our home with our new wood stove. And for Hailey we have started to supplement a little during the day. She is doing great with the bottle. I am just not producing enough for her. This happened with Emma but I lost all milk production so I am hopping that we will be able to continue as much as we can. I have just been blown away with the girls this week. Everyday there is something new that they are d...

So Hailey is starting to coo, I love it. She had her two month check up about two weeks ago and she weighed 10lbs 4oz 50th percentile and she was 23 1/2 in. long 90th percentile in her height. Wow!!! she must have some of the O'Neil height on the way. Here is a clip that I thought that everyone would enjoy. Love, Anna

We had a wonderful time with my Dad, Mom, and brother over Christmas and then we had the Wade Family over for New Years. My parents got here on the Wednesday before Christmas, my Dad helped Matt to put in our wood burning stove. We are so thankful that we got it in. I am hoping that it will help with the ele...
