Harvey is such a laid back little man, with an enormous amount of patience for all the hugs and kisses and noise. Harv (as Marshall calls him) is becoming so strong and is on the verge of crawling. He is proficient in the backwards slide and will occasionally throw himself forward in an attempt to reach a toy. It usually ends with him face up, twisted and confused.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Harvey felt like part of the family before he arrived. There was no getting used to him stage or reality transition period. Around the time Harvey was born, Marshall was captivated by wolves. We were a family of wolves, mamawolf, daddywolf and Ellawolf. The day Harvey came home from the hospital Marshall pronounced him, Haaarveeewolf. It was official, there was a new member to the pack.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Then...</span><br /><a style="font-family: times new roman;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AIOAbXOYppo/Rz9EvK8XceI/AAAAAAAAABM/E09Lwdr15BQ/s1600-h/IMG_0067.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AIOAbXOYppo/Rz9EvK8XceI/AAAAAAAAABM/E09Lwdr15BQ/s320/IMG_0067.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133897677407744482" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;">and now...</span><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AIOAbXOYppo/Rz9FuK8XcfI/AAAAAAAAABU/hTpaMPi55XY/s1600-h/IMG_0097.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AIOAbXOYppo/Rz9FuK8XcfI/AAAAAAAAABU/hTpaMPi55XY/s320/IMG_0097.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133898759739503090" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/190843414773561246-297283317193284646?l=bustinfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01806137998882590075noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190843414773561246.post-12903347202301275182007-11-06T04:45:00.001-08:002008-02-28T18:45:53.251-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AIOAbXOYppo/RzBnprvQlTI/AAAAAAAAAA8/iBvptN5HDQc/s1600-h/IMG_0001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AIOAbXOYppo/RzBnprvQlTI/AAAAAAAAAA8/iBvptN5HDQc/s320/IMG_0001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129713941388236082" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" >Ella decided, after much deliberation, to be a fairy princess and use a combo of dress up stuff.
