The Harvey's Life

Starting to show, 16 weeks 1 day. Emma at Grammy and Grandpa Weberling's house, in her little chair. My dad and Matt shooting. First off, Happy Mothers Day to all of those mothers out there. We had a great weekend. Even though Matt had Saturday school. Friday we went and got Emma her big girl bed, it is just a toddler bed but I told Matt that I wont be able to get her in and out of her crib towards the end of the pregnancy as well as after the baby comes. I will get a picture soon, it is so cute seeing Emma in it. After we got back from getting the bed Matt, my dad, and I all went shooting. It was a lot of fun. My dad just got a new gun and was like a kid on Christmas morning. On Saturday we had a late lunch early dinner and went home, so that we could be home on Sunday. Matt surprised me with a bracelet that I love very much. Sunday Matt got...

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...

Well with a little girl who has tones of energy, keeping up a home, and growing a baby all I want to do is sleep. But this comes all in good time. I try to take a nap when Emma does but I often feel that I have so much to do that I should do as much as I can while she is napping so that I can spend more one on one time with her. Lately she has been taking a 2 hour nap, so I try to sleep for 1 hour and then get busy for the next but that doesn't always happen. I forgot to talk about our new house in my last entry so here we go. This past Oct. we moved into a single wide trailer as we hosted an rv park in grand coulee. I can't tell you what a blessing it has been to since moved out and into our own place. We may be renting but it has a tone more room and we are right next to the park. I am looking forward to nice weather so that Emma and I can go exploring. It has three bedrooms, two baths, and a finished basement. I love it. The only trouble is, is that we have a garage full of ...

Hello again, I wasn't really going to keep this up but some friends of mine said that I should so here I am. Last week on the 11th we found out that we are expecting our second child. I have to say we were not really expecting it to happen this fast. We have only been trying since the end of November. For me it was a different kind of excitement, a whole new feeling. With our daughter we wanted to get pregnant so bad, everything was new, and with this one everything will be different but there is the, "we kinda know what to expect." And also for me it has been Emma and I at home day in and day out. She is by little bud and we do almost everything together. It took me some time before getting pregnant or even thinking about it to come to terms with having two children to love and sharing my time with, etc. But after some praying I finally did. I thought God has all of us and He loves each and every one of us the same, no more, no less. If I really have His love ...

Each day is a new beging, we have all been beyond tierd, but my body thought that it would be ok to get up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5:45am, at least I will have a full day I guess. Yesterday Matt got home early, Emma was taking really good napes and I was able to get a lot done. More importantly we got to spend some time together as a famliy. We went and got Emma her first pumpkin, so I think that will be the activity for the night, we will see. God is truly great He knows just what you need, when you need it even if you don't. I had to take a step back and take a breath. I think, (know) that sometimes we all just get all too cought up in our worldly moments, insted of thanking God for what a gift He has trully given us. Aside from God our family is number one, and we were able to have that time together, "we were home." It was like that feeling when you take a deep breath of fresh mountain air, you look around, and realize "yeah, everything is ok....
