Big Brother Goes to Bootcamp

Mommy and Daddy were very pround of my big brother. I thought the water fountain was pretty awesome. I played a game where I got each one of my family members to take me for a drink within one minute of each other. I played this for at least 15-20mins. When you have a big family that is a lot of water. I also enjoyed a little snack from the machines in the break room.

I also got this camouflage New Testament.

Harritoven

I was watching a program about a boy trying out for a talent show.
It seemed like a good idea, so I ran to the keyboard and started practicing.

Oh my ward!

I was continuing to make pancakes for the kids and turned around to see pancakes everywhere, so it just came out of me, " Oh my Lord!" I guess the saying that they only pick up the ones that you would rather they didn't on their first attempt must be true.

Two Years as of 2/10/07

Harrison's 2nd birthday began with doughnuts and a juice box.

Mommy, Daddy and Piper helped him celebrate later that evening. He got to go shopping and pick out his own toys. He got a ride on fire truck and a word whammer. We had chocolate cake and ice cream. Grampie joined in the singing of the "Happy Birthday" song via speaker phone.

New Year's News

Harrison has been very ill since New Year's Day. He has an upper
respiratory infection, double ear infections, throat and fever, with
dehydration.(lost 2lbs 4ozs) SO, it has been a rough start of a new
year. Cubby has been home with him during the worst parts, while I've been working. After two visits to see Dr. Juice, Harrison ended up with two shots (antibiotic and steriod). He is still recovering, but seems to have more energy today.
