The Last of the Disney Photos...I promise!

I told you there were more coming and here they are.

Our trip to Disney and Monroe's First Birthday!

Wow. It has been a really wonderful week. We took Monroe to Disney for the first time and it was his first birthday! There are so many photos that I created two slideshows. I'll add more pictures as I get them!

Here are the pictures from Disney. Monroe got to visit the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Blizzard Beach! Monroe really liked meeting the characters at the Magic Kingdom and seeing a show in front of the castle. He liked petting the animals and the first half of the Lion King show at Animal Kingdom. (He slept through the rest of the show.) At Blizzard Beach he had fun playing around in the water.
(I have removed this slideshow.)

These are the pictures from Monroe's birthday party. First we had dinner at an Irish Pub called Raglan Road at Downtown Disney. Monroe really liked the soda bread and fries. He also enjoyed dancing along to the Irish music! We finished the evening with a Mickey party complete with Mickey cake! It was a wonderful first birthday!
(I have removed this slideshow because of the sound.)
These are just the pictures we had on our camera. I'll share more as I get them from others!

Finally!

Well it has been a long time, but we are finally updating this bog! We have been very busy here! Monroe got visits from both grandmothers, he got his first haircut, and started practicing walking!

I know what you are thinking...shut your big yap and just show us the cute baby pictures. Here they are.

This is Monroe and his Nana for his first Easter!


Here he is with his Great Grandmother Beaver!


This is a very cute picture of one of Monroe's very cute Easter outfits! His Nana made this one!


Monroe's first haircut!


Monroe and his Grandmomma!



He's going to start doing laps around the house soon!

Well, that's what happens when you wait so long between posts. You have a million pictures to put up. I'll have to do a book suggestion next week when there will be more room!

A trip back in time...

DC and the Big Snow

This has been a very intersting two weeks. Last weekend we drove to DC and visited with Uncle Johnathan. Although the day started out rainy and cold, the sun did eventually come out.




Nothing was as exciting to Monroe as the dog. Finally someone at his eye level!


This weekend, we got our first real snow! Lots of it! Monroe didn't go outside to play in it, but we did bring the snow indoors for him.





Building the snowman was nearly as much fun for him as it was for mom.

Happy Valentine's Weekend!

Monroe worked really hard making a card for his daddy this morning.


Believe it or not, some of the paint actually did end up on the paper! The resulting artwork was greatly appreciated and will, I think, soon be hanging in the Museum of Modern Art.



Not too much else going on in the Harrison Household right now. Looking forward to a short work week. (YYYAAAAYYYY for Presidents!)

This week we are reading...

Monroe is working on turning the pages. He really likes the bright colors of the fish. The pictures will give us a lot to count when Monroe gets older!

A Day at the Park

Well, we've slacked off a bit, but things have been a bit busy here. However, we did take a break and go to the park last weekend. We met a buch of friends and had a great time. First we had a little picnic. Well, to be honest Mom and Dad had a picnic. Monroe looked longingly at solid food.


Later we tried out the swings. Monroe was a pro and he really loved it!




Next we tried the slide.


Monroe wasn't quite old enough to fully appreciate that one yet.

We finished the day with a lovely stroll along the trails comparing notes with another new mom. It was great!

Now I know you are asking yourself, "What have they been so busy doing?" Well I have been working hard to complete a staff training program for all of the library staff in the county that goes live on Valentine's Day. I didn't create it, but I did design several of the pages. I'm very proud of the final product. Anyway, I 'm telling you all of this in an attempt to explain the next picture. It was created while working on the photo sharing page of the training. This is what I have been doing at work...

Don't I have the coolest job in the world!!!

This week we've been reading...

Monroe really likes looking at the pictures of the babies. He's really been fighting going to bed lately, so I like to think that the picture of the baby yawning helps make him tired. It makes me tired.
