November 2013

 We had a great November! Here is a cute one of Lizzy in the sink. silly girly. 

Spent Thanksgiving with family and had ourselves a little vacation at great wolf lodge. Its an indoor water park with restaurants, arcades, mini golf, quests, and tons more! Kids loved it. We didn't get pics of the water park because i didn't want to take my phone near the water.. huh!

 Egan and his wand for the quests.

 Lizzy and Evelyn ready to go swimming!

 

Evelyn got a glitter tattoo!

Harward Halloween 2013

 We had a great Halloween in 2013. The kids got loads of candy and were wired for days! Here are a few pictures of the costumes, pumpkins and fun. We were all from the Wizard of OZ, Aaron the scarecrow, me the wicked witch, Egan the tornado, Evelyn Glenda the good witch, Eli the Lion, and Lizzy Dorothy. I had a ton of fun making the costumes this year.
Here is a few pictures of Lizzy's session with JCP in October. Love her little tongue!

Pretty in Pink

Lizzy had a photo shoot at JCP, gorgeous girl!

September Greatness...

In the September issue of Vancouver Family Magazine we were the cover story! Miracle Baby Lizzy and her story was told. We got sn opportunity to publically thank the anonamous donar who made IVF and Lizzy possible. It was fun. I felt like a celebrity for a while. :)

This story is also told on our IVF Blog www.harwardsmiracleinthemaking.blogspot.com

 Egan came home with this paragraph where his teacher asked him to talk about his family... sweet.. and scary!

First Day of School

This was a good day. Happy Kids, Happy Conflicted Mommy. :)

Trip to Utah

We took a quick trip to Utah this summer for Aaron's sister Angie's temple sealing. Best part of the trip was the time we spent on temple grounds with the kiddos. 

We wont mention Aaron's allergies (including a 911 call), Egan and Evelyn's stomach flu, Eli's sleepless nights.. plus having to stop every two hrs to feed Lizzy... no more road trips for a while. :)

A few of my favorite things.

Silly Faces..

 Baby Toes..

 My Smart Kids...

 My adorable Hubby and His look-a-like...

Little Lizzy can be a bit scared of others at times, but she just Loves Grampa Burt (my mom's dad) We went down for a little visit and had a wonderful day :)

Evelyn's Birthday

Easter

 I must say, I think I have the best kiddos Ever. Egan is such a firecracker and excels in just about everything.

 

 Evelyn is so sweet and dear. Such a good little helper to me.

 

 

 Easter this year was simple but fun! Easter eggs!

I made matching dresses in Purple for my girls. :)

Can you see how Lizzy already loves her big sister?

PUJ

 So I have this amazing friend who invented and manufactured a few AMAZING baby products. The puj tub folds up and hangs dry, doesn't take up any room, fits into any sink and is super comfy for babies! Lizzy just loves it!

 

Then she came up with this amazing bath towel The Puj HUG that clips around my neck so I can pick up Lizzy without fear of her slipping. It's super soft! Lizzy has become so attached to it that if I try to give her a bath without it she will scream. We love these products and my friend Katie for making them! Check out all the Puj Products here: http://pujbaby.com/

Elizabeth's First Month

 

 Here are a few pictures of Lizzy's first 6 weeks of life. I love her in this little yellow shirt, I call it Lemon Tart.

 Looking around and so little, she is such a peach!

 We lounged together on my bed for days on end for the first little while. Healing together. :)

 Lizzy has her daddy's nose. She makes a ton of noises all the time,.. so much that we call her Squeeky Goose.

 Blue Eyes!

Blessing Day was March 5th. It was a beautiful day. Her dress was made by me just barely in time for the event. She was a bit grumpy for the picture, but a doll for the blessing. We had 42 people come to be apart of the special day. An amazing special wonderful day!
