Harvey's baby pictures

Harvey was just 12 days old when we had these pictures taken. We had the wonderful Caralee Case take them who is from Idaho Falls. She took Kate's newborn pictures and I have always cherished those, so I knew I had to splurge again and get some done professionally of Harvey. I love the way they turned out. You would never guess that it took 3 hours to get these pictures because Harvey was upset for the first time in his life. Caralee was so patient and captured the beaut of my newborn that I will cherish forever. I love looking at all his sweet little features. I can't decide on a favorite!

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we found ourselves with a lot to be thankful for. Months ago we originally thought it would be a quiet holiday at home waiting for the arrival of Harvey, but his early entrance changed that. My Mom is a doll and always drops everything when I need her. She spent a week with us after  Harvey came. It was nice to have my favorite comfort food when she was here, and her company, some times a girl just needs her Mom! She also graciously offered to cook Thanksgiving dinner for us and we kept inviting others to attend. We were happy when my Brother JB and his wife Mary and their kids came up, as well as all of the Prestons. It was a packed house, but it was a lot of fun! Kate ran around with her cousins and had a ball. Harvey enjoyed all the cuddles and loves he got from aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins he met.

We loved having family in our home, and Kate loved it even more. When JB's clan drove off Kate cried and cried and cried. She sure does love her cousins.
