Dread Pirate Andreas

Last week, Alex dressed Andy up like a cute little pirate, but Alfred was gone at the time and had the digital camera with him. So when he got home, we dressed him up again for your viewing pleasure. Pirate Peanut likes to sail the seas in search of bacon and anything else that we'll allow him to eat...

Drumroll please!!!

Well, it turns out that Alfred is incapable of producing a girl. Baby Harbich #3 is another boy! We've decided to name this one Jakob, but we haven't decided on a middle name yet. Wish us luck!

Christmas Morning

Ah, Christmas morning... I swear the boys were lucky to get presents at all this year, with all the threats about calling Santa and telling on Alex for not eating his food and on Andy for refusing to admit he knows what "no" means. But as it was Andy's first Christmas, and as Alex was getting a pretty awesome gift, I was way too excited to call it off. So here's the proof that I'm not really a grinch after all.

Super Naughty

I've been bad. Sorry about that. There really hasn't been much to post on here. While we had fun visiting the family out in California, we didn't get many pictures. I'll post a few, though.

So I'm 17 weeks along now with Baby Harbich #3, and so far all is well. So far the most difficult part of being pregnant while caring for another infant is trying to not hurt or kill myself or Andy out on the ice. Every trip out to the car is an adventure. I'd ask Alfred to go shovel or at least throw down some salt on the ice, but he's been having too much fun inhaling cheese in Wisconsin this week.

Enjoy the pictures!

Sausages!!!

We recently started Andy on solid foods, and he's rapidly progressing on to new flavors. He's chomping at the bit to get to these babies:



We only hope his teeth come in before he figures out how to get them open.

We're off to California for a few days. We hope to have lots of pictures to post when we get back. Until then!!!

Here we go again!!!

After another whole month of nothing newsworthy to post here, I finally have something BIG. Our little Andreas will be getting a very special gift for his first birthday... a baby brother or sister!!! Yes, Baby Harbich #3 is on the way. And we're ALL very excited. When we asked Alex if he wanted another baby brother or a baby sister this time, he said, "I'll try a sister." So I guess if it turns out that it's a girl and he doesn't like her much, he'll put in an order for another baby brother.

May 22, 2009 is the due date, and Andy's birthday is May 23. So it'll be very close. I'm a little overwhelmed thinking about the next few months and wondering how hard it will be to be getting bigger and bigger while trying to lug around a very heavy infant. It's a good thing Alex is happy about this. He's such a good helper already.

Blessings Galore

On Sunday, we had a busy day at church. Andy had his blessing during sacrament meeting, and Alex was baptized after the regular block of meetings. It was a triple baptism as his cousin Kyle and friend Laken were baptized as well. It all went very well, and we're so proud of our sweet boys. Enjoy the pictures!
