Wow! It’s going a little fast, don’t you think? I mean, I’ve managed to get a few of my “summer projects” completed, but there’s still a whole page & a half left! Yikes!
This week we found out for sure we’re having a BOY- 100% ! YAY. I love having boys. I love having girls. I would have been happy either way, honestly. Now all we have to do is find a name…. that we all like, that starts with the /k/ sound, and doesn’t make me want to throw up. Any ideas?
This was us Today. We went to see our friends in a production of Annie (one of my favorite movies growing up). They did SO great & it was so fun to see them on stage. They’ve been working so hard for months & it was fun to see the final product. We loved it! Good job Hartung girls, Ballock girls & Allie (and anyone else in the production who might happen to read my blog )!
Here we are making Pita Pockets for our Poem Night at the Harnishes. The kids each memorized a poem, dressed up and made a food item to go along with their poem. Kennedy’s poem was Keep a Poem in Your Pocket so we made “Keep a Poem in Your Pita Pockets” stuffed with ham & cheese 🙂 
And also this week… all 4 of my kids had dentist appointments- hurray! But this was Keagan’s first. He did such a great job! He was happy & obedient the whole time (and we were there for 2 hours!). I love that boy.
That’s all.

Dena - not that it starts with a K.. but … if I ever had another boy.. which I am NOT planning on ever having another baby.. I would name him “smith”… I will be on the lookout for you and your boy names…
Melinda Cassol - Emma did great the first time at the dentist too! When we left she said, well now that was fun wasn’t it?!! Cute kids you have!! Don’t know if you like these names but what about Court or Cash. I have heard those both and think they are cute!
Hallie Gardner - Somewhere along the way it seems like you guys liked Cohen? I could be wrong…there have been a lot of name choices throughout the years 🙂 I think Callie could work for a boy?
emily - That’s so funny Hallie- Cohen JUST popped into my head this morning! The boys want Calvin (after Calvin & Hobbes, of course!). I think you guys liked that name for a while, didn’t you? Or maybe that was my sister?
emily - Melinda- I LOVE the name Cash, but James isn’t sold on it. I haven’t heard Court before, but did you watch Amazing Race last season? There were 2 cowboys & one was named Cord. I’ve given that one some thought. It’s just hard to name baby#6. I’m thinking of dumping all my kids’ names and starting over.
Hallie Gardner - Yep, Pearson was almost Calvin…I think you should feel the freedom to start over! I think this one can start with whatever letter you want! But maybe don’t change the other kids names…I think that might mess them up 🙂
jenny - Wow about Conan? Cobalt? Chorea? Actually, that one’s a disease. Might send the wrong message. . . . I definitely think you need another Ch, though. You have two hard C’s, and two K’s and only one Ch. What a nice mixture of boys and girls your family will be! Oh, and I LOVE your poem night idea?! How fun is that?
