Last Years Christmas Project

Last year for Christmas my sister, Lauren, and I made felt food for all of our nieces. One of Seth's cousins started to make these crafts and posted them on her blog. When I saw the post, I thought that they were so cute and looked reasonably simple. Lauren and I had a blast making them and I hear that our nieces really enjoyed them. Here are some pictures to show your our handy work.

Breakfast: Pancakes and Eggs

Lunch: Quesadillas and green beans

Dinner: bow-tie pasta with red sauce or white sauce

Dessert: S'mores

These tastey looking morsels are not as tastey as they look. They are all made out of felt fabric. Hope you enjoyed our project!

30 weeks and still growing....

Here is a picture that I took last night. I really don't see much of a difference between the 28 week picture and this one. What do you think?

Everything in the Harp House hold is going pretty well. The pregnancy is going great and I am feeling really good. I am ALL FINISHED with school. I am now unofficially a college graduate!!! I am so glad that I don't have to worried about finals, paper, projects, or presentation any more! This is the best feeling ever!!!! I really did enjoy my student teaching experiences and especially getting to know the students. I will Cherish my time with both my kindergartners and my 6th graders. I promised my sixth graders that I would bring Anna in with me to visit in March or April. They saw me grow the most through out my teaching and are really invested in this little baby. I was sick a couple of weeks ago and had lost most of my voice. Once day after I had taught my lesson and started the students on their independent work, one of my students came up to me and said, "Mrs. Harp you sound awful. Are you sick?" I replied that I had come down with a cold and then she asked, "Is you baby OK? Are you sure that you being sick won't hurt her?" It was so cute how worried she was about our little Anna. This statement brought warm fuzzy feelings into my heart. I will truly miss them.
On a sad note, on Saturday Seth was walking out to the car through our back yard and he noticed that my Bike was missing. Yep, someone broke into our backyard and took my awesome bike. This is very sad because I have not been able to ride it during my pregnancy but was looking forward to riding it after the arrival of Anna. Sad, sad day! : (
Other than that, we have been getting into the Holiday season. We went to our ward Christmas party on Saturday night and enjoyed spending time with our ward family. We are planning on going to SLO for Christmas this year. We are so excited because it has been a long time since we have been up there and I really miss it and my family. I hope that everyone is having a Happy holiday season!

28 weeks... last weeks picture

Hello friends and family,

Here is a picture of me at 28 weeks pregnant:

Sorry, No more red wall! : ( We moved a couple of weeks ago and had to leave the beautiful red wall behind. A blog on the move is soon to come.

So, I am now 29 weeks pregnant, that means that I only have about 11 weeks left before we get to meet our little Anna. I really can't wait and I often find myself day dreaming about holding her in my arms. I know I am a dork but I really can't wait for that day!

As most of you know, this semester is my last semester of student teaching and thus the last semester of SCHOOL!!! YAY! I am so excited because Tuesday the 8th is my last day of student teaching and then I am a graduated student!!! It has been a long road but it feels go good to be almost done. I am really glad that I decided to stick with it and complete everything is 4 1/2 years! After Tuesday, I Will have about 2 months to get everything ready for the arrival of our little Anna. I have been looking at decorating ideas for her room and even have entertained the idea sewing some of the decor myself (We'll see how that goes). We want to make the room a jungle/rain forest theme. I have been looking at bedding and I think I have found the best non-boy-ish and not to pink option. It is called Jacana by Cocalo. I also want to put up some jungle wooden letters that spell out her name on the wall. If you have some cute ideas that you think would look good with this bedding, please feel free to let me know. I would love your input.

I have started to do my registry at Babies R Us and that is overwhelming. Who would have known that there is SOOOOO much that we will need for this tiny little sweetie. I am so grateful of my friends and family members who have already had babies and been through the same preparations. They have been very helpful in letting me know what we will really need.

I have so much more to say but I will create a couple more posts to keep you all updated with our doings!
