The sign I made for my nephew Harvey. It's not finished in this picture, but you get the idea. I love making these!
Addie was constantly giving her cousin Noah kisses. They are both so blond!
The two kids in front of the tree Christmas morning. Addie guards her orange with her life.
My not so little little brother, Jim. He'll be 19 in March!
Addie will be a big sister! Nice job on the gift, Mom! She now kisses my stomach and points at her own and says "baby."
I'm looking pretty good myself!
Really enjoying the festivities!ADDIE UPDATE: She has learned so much in the last few weeks! She knows a lot of animal sounds and tons of new words. She has spent the last two weeks in nursery at church (A BLESSING!!!) and loves it. Her teachers are great and always tell us how well she does. Her favorite things are to throw things away in the garbage when we ask her, she is so proud of herself every time, and to kiss everyone. She kisses us, strangers, dolls, the people on TV, my necklaces...you name it, she kisses it. She's very compassionate when people get hurt, and cries at the sight of a bandaid. She is into pushing kids smaller than her, but I'm hoping with some firm yet gentle guidance, that will end in time. She is such joy, and I look forward to seeing what new thing she will learn every day!
JANA UPDATE: Me and the baby are great. I am blessed with easy pregnancies and am very grateful! The doctor says the baby is fine and growing perfectly, but we'll see exactly how it's all doing at the ultrasound in a few weeks. I'm still determined for the sex to be a surprise, and I'm looking forward to it! Young Womens keeps me busy at church, it's been a lot of responsibility, but very rewarding. Fortunately for me, the leaders are all spectacular, so I don't feel I have to worry about much. I was spoiled over Christmas spending so much time with my family, and I miss them already! I think we should have a Hutchinson Family Reunion next month at Graceland. Any takers?
JASON UPDATE: Jason's schedule this semester is hectic. He'll be gone a lot, which isn't a surprise, but at the end of this semester he has to pass a test to be able to work in the eye clinic this summer. He's feeling the pressure. I'm so proud of him, though, and very grateful to have married such an ambitious and capable man. He is so adorable with Addie and spends as much time with her as he can, and is very supportive of me and my hobbies/responsibilities which take me outside of the home a lot at night. I hit the jackpot!

Addie is growing fast and faster!! Glad to hear the update on you guys and that you are doing well with the pregnancy love you guys!!
I have to tell you, I noticed the "Harvey" sign before I read any of your post, and instantly thought, "She's going to have an Addy and a Harvey?" You just don't strike me as a Harvey girl. On another note, I always get people that big sister book! What on earth am I going to get you now?
That's so cute that Addie is into kissing everyone. I'm glad you are feeling well and the baby is growing and doing well. I say keep it a secret if you can last. I'm terrible at surprises. Glad Christmas and New Years with your family treated you well!
I would love to have a reunion in Graceland, but I don't know that we'd have enough time to come down. I'd even like to say for spring break, but my kids and Charlie are off on different weeks. So we probably won't be able to come until this summer. I wish we could come now though, I'm sick of the cold!
Glad to hear that everything is going well with you and the baby. We kept it a surprise the first time and I thought Jake's family was going to kill us. This time because Ethan is so excited (and keeps telling us it is a girl) we are planning on finding out. Keep us updated on you and the baby!
