More "Drawings" of Harrison

These "drawings" are so addicting to make...here are some more that Sabrina and I have made:

A brave baby boy!

I do realize that vaccines are an important part of a healthy life, but how can a mom ever feel good about submitting her son to a torturous experience?
Today was Harrison's 2 month appointment and with it came 3 vaccines. While Harrison was getting his vaccines he cried like he does when he's completly exhausted.(I didnt take any pictures of his vaccine day so this almost relays the feeling) But 1 minute after the shots were administered he was completly at peace. As we were leaving the Dr.'s office he was smilling and being happy at me! I guess he's a quick healer. He's a very tough boy!

"Drawing" of Harrison

If you have never heard of Instructibles you are missing out. It's a site where people can post step by step instructions on how to do or make just about anything. Anyway, I found this cool instructible on how to make these cool images from pictures. Basically you trace the image (to do this I had to first make a light box...), then you can upload it to Vector Magic and have the drawing converted to a vector image. Once you do that, things get really fun and you can color it in. Anyway...this is my first attempt at one of my favorite pictures of Harrison (it's the picture on the left-hand side of our blog if you want to compare them).

2 Glorious Years!

Josh and Harrison just before we leave Harrison for the first time!

Josh and I just had our 2 year wedding anniversay. March 11th. We were babysitting so we couldnt go out that night but we went to dinner on Friday night. Going out to dinner for an anniversary wouldn't really be something to post about if it wern't for leaving our baby boy for the first time! Josh's Mom and Dad were excited to come over and watch him for us. As we were driving off to Mazza i was about to cry. I was abandoning my baby boy! How could i be doing this. But it had to be done and we had a great dinner together. I just love my sweet husband so much. We have had an amazing 2 years together! By the end of dinner I was planning our future date nights once a week and who we will get to babysit in the future. I guess I got over the abandonment woes quickly!

Babysitting!!!

I still dont know how or why I said "Yes" to my sister and the Loves. The first week of March Shawna and Ken went to San Francisco and we told them we could babysit. It really was not bad. She has the most comfie bed. Harrison did his longest stint... 7 1/2 hours! It hasn't been repeated since. It was only 3 days but it took alot out of us. Mostly Harrison and I. But he had fun with his cousins.
I have been babysitting for Jill Love who is on the SLC council for the last 6 1/2 years. She had some meetings in Washington D.C. and asked if Josh and I could watch her 3 kids for 4 days and 3 nights. These kids are great and they couldnt get enough Har-bear! But it was a whole lot of work. I am just so greatful for my 1 baby! It was good to get a glimpse of what life will be like in 6 years.

Harrison's Blessing - Part II

Harrison had his baby blessing on Sunday the 2nd surrounded by tons of family and friends. Our ward had a total of four blessings that day. There were three girls and our little boy (not a bad ratio for Harrison...). I think we may have set a record with the size of our circle. I was so nervous to give him a blessing because I had never done it before and because I didn't want to leave anything out. I think it turned out ok. There were a few interesting things that came up in the blessing that I can't take credit for.

Thanks to Shawna and Ken for letting us use their house for the lunch afterwards. It was so much fun show Harrison off to everyone he hasn't met yet.

It was a great day. Thanks to everyone who came and brought such good food and treats.
