Happy 4th Birthday!!!!

Well, luckily the vacation was healthy...once we got home, Harrison started dragging and what I was pretty sure were allergies turned into pneumonia...AGAIN. UGH. He slept through half of his birthday party, but his friends had fun and he was absolutely thrilled to wake up to see everyone there! As a true product of his parents, he woke up just in time for cake and ice cream! 




By Sunday, his birthday (4 years old!) he was down for the count...no idea how long he will be out of school, but he was pretty crafty with his timing- see his reaction when Dad announced he would not be going to school on Monday!

Road Trip!

Harrison had quite an adventure over February vacation! The three of us drove to Baltimore to visit friends and family and to celebrate Harrison's cousin Lauren's engagement to her firefighter Mitch! We are so thrilled for both of them!!!

The drive down was loooong, but we finally got to Baltimore late Friday night and we all slept very well. Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day (loving this tropical winter the east coast is having!) and we went to the Baltimore Zoo. It has changed a lot, but at least the big lion statues are still there!

Saturday night was the big party, which was wonderful- Lauren and Mitch had a great time and we are all so excited for their Big Day in September!!


While we were at the party, Harrison played with my high school friend Kathy, her husband Mark, and their three adorable, very sweet kids. He had a blast, of course!

Sunday we spent at Lauren and Mitch's with a few of their friends, opening gifts and eating leftovers...mmmmm! We spent the day Monday with Aunt Carol, who got Harrison some awesome musical instruments, which he LOVES!!!!  Thank you Aunt Carol!


Tuesday we had breakfast in my old hood, Canton, with Harry's new friend Ellen and one of his favorites, Auntie Andrea...he was in HEAVEN, he is still Hef's #1 protegee!


We had a fairly easy ride back home, stopping to see Auntie Diane, Mal, Jared, and Uncle Jason in Greenwich. Harrison's favorite part of the ride was definitely the rest stops where he could get out and stretch his legs!

Here's to many more fun road trips together!!!
