Cousins

Last night, the family packed up and headed to Kansas City to see Brooke, Ryan, Brian, Katie, and Harrison's new cousin - Johnny! It was really fun to see them together for the first time and was the first of many play dates. Something tells us that once crawling and walking are involved things may get a little crazy, and we can't wait!

Pants

In other big news, Harrison has taken to wearing pants. Three days and counting…he seems to like them even if they are a little big.

Welcome John!

Well, as of Sunday, Harrison has a cousin. Weighing in at 6 lbs 12 ounces, Johnny is a very cute little man. Tom’s sister Brooke and her Husband Ryan are very proud of their first child and can’t wait to watch him and Harrison grow up together!

Great Grandfather

Tom's family gathered from around the country last week to celebrate the life and passing of Tom's grandmother. Harrison's presence brought great comfort to Tom's grandfather, who held him for over an hour with no crying or fussing!

Baby Showers!

Last weekend, we attended two fabulous showers in Harrison's honor. On Saturday evening, our dear friends Amy and Damien hosted a couples shower for us and our friends. Amy, an incredible chef, whipped up some amazing finger food and cupcakes and we were able to introduce Harrison to many of our friends.

On Sunday morning, Katie and Annie hosted a brunch for all the ladies in our family. It was a joy to introduce Harrison to those in the family who had not yet had an opportunity to meet him.

We received some amazing gifts for Harrison at both showers! He will enjoy all of these toys and books for the months to come, and we are now set with everything we need for the nursery. The most touching gifts included some storybooks from Dodie (Tom's grandmother) that belonged to Tom's dad, Paul, when he was a child. She gave us two Beatrix Potter books and a book of Mother Goose tales. We will always treasure these!

Harrison was, of course, the star of the show at both events! Everyone commented on what a happy and beautiful baby he is. We put together a photo album of our time in Colorado, and our first week at home so that people could get a sense of our experience there. Everyone really seemed to enjoy seeing these and send their best wishes and love to Bri and Kevin.

Sydney Loves Harrison

Sydney, our 10 year old Lab/Border Collie mix didn't quite know what to make of Harrison when they first met. He made funny noises and seemed to get quite a great deal of attention. But soon, she welcomed into our pack, and gave him a few kisses on the head.
