Look Who's Rolling Over!

Spring has arrived! And with it, unpredictable weather, storms, and wind! I do love this time of year, though. Spring reminds me of Calvary and the cross, new life, and the changing of seasons. In the McCash family, we have so much to be thankful for!

Harbor is such a blessing! He is a smiley, handsome, little ham for the camera these days. We are so thankful to both have good careers in this economy so that we can care for him the way we want to. We have always believed in having and maintaining a substantial savings account, and with the hard times of this recession, we are so glad we have stuck to our convictions about how to save and spend money. Everyday I wake up to go to teach, I thank God for blessing me with job security.

My mom is a wonderful example of service- she takes care of Harbor and he loves his Gigi! Thanks mom, for being so kind! She always tells me that I don't need to pay her for keeping Harbor, but I do because I want her to know how much I appreciate what she does for us as a family.










Harbor is trying to sit up, and now that he has some head control, we have enjoyed packing him around in his Noah's Ark sling he received at Christmas. Thanks to the Dean family in Texas for the handmade sling- we love it!







Spring photo session in our front yard- mommy and Harbor William. : ) Can life be any sweeter? I think not.













Play time in the afternoon-photos courtesy of Harbor's Gigi. : )



































I cannot even fathom having a little girl now that I have Harbor! Isn't that funny how that works? I'm sure those of you with girls feel the same way about little boys. I've told David that I would love to be that mom with four boys in tow! : )









David and Harbor are really funny together. David is definitely a hands-on daddy, and I know Harbor loves the contrast of our personalities. David is louder and much more aggressive than I am, and, boy howdy, does Harbor love it!







Our neice, Danielle, turned five this month and we celebrated at David's mom's house. Harbor had fun playing with baby Gregory, who is only nine days younger.







After I get home from work most days, mom and I have mini photo shoots. It is lots of fun and I know I will never regret taking so many pictures of HW when he is little. BUT! Will I take this many of all of our kids, should we have more in the future? That thought is daunting...

















With the warmer weather, David is usually riding his Goldwing to work, and not his jeep. Even with the lure of his new jeep, his motorcycle still wins out on warm days. Bichon can hear him pulling into our culdasec and starts barking, so I ran downstais to our walkout basement garage to snap a picture oh him coming home from work. We love quittin' time when daddy gets to come home!!





Mom does such fun activities with Harbor! I always love hearing about their "adventures". Last week, they planted flowers in our outdoor pots.











Harbor held the egg noodles while I cooked dinner one night last week. If he has a future as a chef, maybe he will never move out? Works for me! :) Ha, ha!







Look who had another weekly birthday? It is the same boy who has started rolling over! Yippee!







Granny and Aunt Cathy come to visit!























David and I love Miss Rachel. We take her out to dinner almost every weekend.. we remember what it was like be broke, college students. : ) We appreciated the kindness of meals back then and we try to pass it on whenever we can. She has such a sweet spirit about her and Harbor loves her pretty, long blonde hair.







David turned 28 this month and we celebrated at my parents' house. David took Rachel and her room mate Ashley out 4-wheeling in the jeep. Rachel decided to keep her new white Honda safe in the driveway. Ha, ha!

When mom heard that Harbor had rolled over, she made him a "Happy Rolling Over" basket. We had a great time and David appreciated all the wonderful gifts. Thank you, family!





















My parents have repainted their room and have taken the wallpaper down. I wanted to show you how prety the paint color turned out!



Brandy Foshe at Foshefotos took Harbor's three month pictures. I have used many of them to create his new Easter card. Brandy has been given such a unique talent in photography. She did such a great job!


















Fellow blogger, sweet Elizabeth, makes the CUTEST Christmas ornaments, and since I love Christmas, I went ahead and ordered four ornaments a few weeks ago. Isn't Elizabeth cute? She was so warm and friendly and we hugged like old friends! Visit her blog to order some of your own!





Wednesday we went to Harbor's 4 month Dr. visit. He was above the 95% for height, measuirng in at 27 inches. He is one tall little fella! His weight stayed at the 75% at 15 lbs. It was fun to have Gigi and daddy go with us! There are so many people who love Mr. HW!



























Have a blessed week!

  2. OH! He looks too precious! I wish I could hear him laugh! I love the pics of him standing on the countertop...hahaha! I have Amelia, and I would have NO CLUE what to do with a boy!! I'd be LOST! If this baby turns out to be a boy, I'll be so clueless... But one day, I sure would love a son! :o)

  3. I started to say that Harbor looks like David, but there are some pictures where he looks like you. I think he is a great combo of both of you! Dagan's blankie is made of the same material as Harbor's sling. We have to take that blanket EVERYWHERE!! I love those little socks that look like tennis shoes..so cute!

  4. Excuse my while kiss you sweet baby's face off. Oh my LANTA!!!! He is soooo precious. Bless his heart. Seriously, you keep posting these angelic pictures I'm going to have to have another baby. :)

  5. He is soooo cute! He has the sweetest smile. You will be so glad you took all of the pictures. They grow up so fast. Mary-Kate is 3, weighs 35 pounds, and is 39 inches tall. She started out 6 pounds 14 oz. and was 20.5 inches tall. I look at her now and can't believe where the time went. Have a great rest of your spring break!

  7. I had so much fun shopping for MK. I couldn't resist the shoes from The Children's Place. Everything I got was on sale thank goodness. She has had a growth spurt, but also in her feet. I had to get her some new shoes.

    Harbor is definitely a good mix of both you and David. However, I think he has your eyes!!!

    Enjoy your Spring Break and give Harbor a big hug!!!

  9. First...I take it its warm there? I so love storms too..we have had a few here..but it's flooding. Quite scary. lotsa water everywhere!! One day we had lightning ,thunder..first storm this year..2 days later we had a blizzard..and today it's 13 degrees out!! Sandbagging like crazy. alotta towns are underwater.
    2nd..I love the black and white one of all of you!! And I thought Harbor looked to be tall!! Those pics of him standing..He looks like he could be 2!! And Our little guy has been rolling for a few weeks now...I think he'll be crawling soon..He's never in the same spot very long!! I think it's mostly becuse he follows the boys so if they go one way so does he! Isn't it amazing how fast they can do things!! And as far as "4 boys" goes..I love it!! One girl is good for me!!:) happy birthday!! to be young again ahh!! And i so Love your Mom...I think well no Iam sure I have'nt said that before!!! ;)

  14. Mr. HW is definitely ALL boy, you could never mistake him for a girl. I love the pictures and especially of the close up of you and HW outside by the tree and the close up of the two of you on the couch. He certainly is a loved little guy. He looks like he has long legs, does he?

    ReplyDelete
  15. just make sure you are in lots of pictures with him. The one thing I regret is that for years I only took them. Now I have only a few precious pictures with my boy when they were little. Now that I have cancer and know that my life could be much shorter than I ever expected I take tons of pictures with my them. I had to get over not looking just right in every one.

  16. His smile just lights up a room! And I love the "rolling over" basket! What a cute idea!!

  17. He is getting SO big I can't believe it! He is getting cuter and cuter too! And you are SO right, I wanted a boy SO badly but when I found out B was a girl I was EXTATIC! I have NEVER been happier with my daughter! If I had 8 girls it would be great! :) (until I had to pay for all of those weddings, lol).

  22. Hey Jessica,

    No Cade doesn't try to get out of his bumbo seat, but we do have to watch out for not putting him in it to soon after he has eaten or he will spit up. I think it pushes in on his belly:)

    Have a good weekend.

    Thanks,

    Linda

  36. Harbor is growing so much! He's a handsome little dude.. looks so much like you! I'm sure you all are having so much fun with him. He's in a fun stage as I'm sure he is interacting lots more now. I'm finding out that baby boys are a real treasure!

  37. Thanks so much for the tile! I got it today. It looks perfect in her room! No one in our area makes anything like this. Usually it is just your basic canvas. This is so different! Love it!
