Newest Addition!

Well, this is the newest addition to our family--a new car! (Well, new for us anyway). We decided that if we want to extend our family sometime in the near future, we needed more room to fit our family. So we decided to let our Chevy Tracker go to make room in our garage for our new Acura. We all really like it and are very happy with it.

Happy McKay will be ONE next month! Time flies!

Dad and the Girls

Aren't they all cute?!

Easter Madness!

The Harris family had lots of visitors this past weekend. We had Shawn, Lauren, Eli, and Morgan Wheeler; Tim, Haley, and Athen; and Roger and Mary Ann Dorman with us (A full house). Lots of people, lots of fun. We got to meet the new babies such as Morgan and Athen. They are sooooooo cute! They both look exactly like their mothers. Taylor made a new friend--Eli. They were really good playmates even with McKay.

Shawn and his family came to Pasco to spend Easter this year with Lauren's family. It sounds like they had a good time. We are glad they came and spent some time with us too since last time we got together was a while ago. Come back soon!

Tim and his family came for a job interview which went really well. He will have to come back in two weeks for a follow up interview. So, good luck dude! It was also fun having them and their new baby boy.

Haley's parents took advantage of this trip and came to see their grandson for the first time (For Mr. Dorman was the first time). They were nice enough to hang out with us too and even cooked dinner for us on Saturday night. Thank you!

We enjoyed having everyone.

Fun with the Girls

So, last Saturday, Ben was gone with his Teachers for the entire day to a youth conference in Pendleton leaving his three girls at home. The girls and I decided to have fun, so we cleaned the entire house, shifted furniture around in McKay's bedroom, painted Taylor's bunkbed, and made pizza for dinner that night. It was a very productive day for us. The girls were so good that they even got the chance to help me make the pizza (they helped eat the cheese and other toppings). We missed Ben tons all day, but we made it fun!

Busy, busy, busy!

So much to write about and so little time to do it in. This year has been very busy for the Pasco, WA Harris' (not that last year wasn't) and for the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it is going to slow down any time soon.
Ben is busy being a father, a husband, a bread-winner, a student, a scouts and youth leader, and quite the handyman around the house (it makes me tired just writing about it), but he is the best at everything. Claudia is busy being a mother, a wife, a homemaker, a Sunday school teacher, and Ben the Handyman's helper, but loves what she does. Taylor and McKay are busy being cute (not that it requires any effort from their part), being good children, good sisters, and making mommy and daddy laugh all the time.
We have done lots of upgrades to our house since we moved in it last November. We put up crown moulding, new flooring in the kitchen and dinning areas, added hardware, etc. We are not done yet (it's never ending), but we like the way our house looks. Our next project will be the backyard for the Spring. That is a huge project in itself since we are starting from scratch (there is nothing on our yard, not even grass). We'll be glad to see the results once we are done and we are actually looking forward seeing our girls play outside since the wheather calls for it. So, as you can read, we don't mind being busy.
