Neighborhood Art

An artist is selecting buildings on the Northside for murals. These buildings are in disrepair or are just really ugly. This is our neighbours and he did a great job. I could not get a whole pic with Harvey as it is in the alley and we had to watch for cars. There is a huge sun on the bottom left and a spaceship on the top right with a tractor beam on a big red cow. It is so awesome!

Pumpkin Patch!

I just love fall! Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch in the South Hills and Harvey had such a great time trying to pick up the pumpkins and pulling a wagon. He also liked to try to run off the side of the hill, so scary! He even let me pull him around in the wagon for a bit. He enjoyed pulling his pumpkin up and down the hill. There were deer around the patch, so it was great that we had some help so that Squeakie could enjoy herself too! Thanks Dab!

This boy needs a wagon!

Lots of big pumpkins!

Fun with Photobooth this morning

Harvey likes to open his mouth so Squeakie can kiss him. Gross, I know! I try to stop this, but I was holding the computer when this craziness transpired today.

We are on the mend

We have been sick since last Saturday. We are both feeling better today as we are both taking antibiotics. Harvey is sleeping well but not eating at all. So I hope this will change soon.

This picture was taken by me on our hike about a month ago.

Sick Baby today

Wee Harv trying to snuggle with Squeakie.

We are staying in today as Harvey is not feeling too great. Today was supposed to be my first day observing 6th grade science. But the wee one has a bad cold with lots of congestion and the need to snuggle. I need to go to campus today to get some help with my math homework as I have quiz tomorrow. I am not too sure that this will go so well; a sick baby in the library for math tutoring. Wish us luck.

Harvey wasn't feeling too great yesterday and is having a hard time breathing when he is sleeping. I ordered him a humidifier online, but we will not get it for several days. He was up at 3;30 until about 4:30 and then up again at 7. I believe that this is his second cold. No fun ;(

Here we are this morning playing with Photobooth under our latest family portrait.

Breakfast with Terri, Larry and Mary! And Harvey's newest feat

This morning the Middagh family (sans Will) took us out to breakfast at the Shack. Harvey woke up feeling pretty bad as he has just come down with a cold :( It was lovely to see the Middaghs and we look forward to seeing them soon.

We had a successful dinner tonight even though I had to feed most of it to wee Harv. We had butternut squash, sweet potato, spinach quiche, crackers and I tried to get the wee one to eat roast beef, but he was having none of it! Oh, and we had brown rice too!

Here is Harvey's latest feat. He likes to climb up onto the table when I am occupied with dishes or cooking. He then proceeds to take a bite out of every piece of fruit, including the tomatoes, while he is up there. He is a silly little guy!

These shots were taken with my PhotoBooth on my Mac, I am still out my digital camera.

Dinner with Caty and an awesome hike all about a month ago too!

Here is the wee man chewing on some keys just looking super cute! Caty took this awesome shot.
Here is another great shot taken by Harv's sitter Caty. We went to Cafe Dolce which does not have a children's menu. So that was sucky, but we had such a lovely time visiting with Caty. We just love her!

These pictures were taken across the street from our house. It is very steep, the first .3 of a mile and then Harvey can walk some of the way from there. He has been riding in a Kelty kidpack I purchased at a yard-sale. He likes to ride in it, but at 27 pounds he is a big boy to heft straight up a mountain. I love this picture because we just got to the "first" top, as this is where the steep first .3 of a mile ends, and I carried the wee man up this yet he is lying down! So funny!

Howdy All!

I have been without an internet connection, a computer and a digital camera for a month now. I have my computer back, but neither of the other two components that are needed to keep you all informed on wee Harvard.

I will provide a quick update as I am meeting with my Teacher today for the class that I will be observing this semester.

Harvey is going to be 18 months old this month!!!! He is such a lovely, big, blond little guy. He is still not talking very much, but I figure he will when he is ready. He still loves to have his mama read to him and he loves to play outside! He loves to get the broom out and sweep the floor and he loves to get the neighbour's rake and attempt to rake the leaves. He has been in daycare for five weeks and he loves it. He has many little buddies his age there to play with when he is not playing with the zillions of toys and going down the slide.

I hope to get a digital camera in the next few months. I will hopefully get my internet connection running this week. More info and pictures to come.

All our Love!
