Halloween!

We celebrated Harrison's first Halloween by starting him on solid foods. He ate pureed banana like a champ! Now that he's 5 months old he's going to be a puree connoisseur for sure!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TIME

Harrison dressed up as Toby from Labyrinth for his very first Halloween

these last images are what the trick or' treaters experienced when knocking on our door.

great day for columbia

We bought this jacket for Harrison when I was 6 months pregnant, and now it fits!! Doesn't he looked thrilled?!?

Pumpkin Patch

Harrison's first visit to the pumpkin patch almost didn't happen. 

The night before Harrison slept so poorly. Waking up every hour to two hours. When we finally decided to get up with him at 630am MJ and I were not only exhausted, but a little angry as well. Seeing his sweet smile though changes our anger to annoyance, which is tolerable. 

We knew we wanted to take him the a pumpkin patch, but the weather was awful and would continue to be for the next 10 days according to the weather channel. At noon I looked out the living room window, and my heart filled with joy! "MJ we must go to the pumpkin patch right now! The sun's out!" Mj wanted to take a nap before his family arrived, so he suggested we go another day. I showed him the forecast, and he said fine, but only if we have time before my family gets here. I called Julianne to let her know what our plans were, and we were off. 

Harrison enjoyed himself so much! It was really neat seeing him enjoy everything around him. I think fall might be his favorite time of year! Just like his parents.

 

ducks

Super beautiful October afternoon! Time to view some ducks.

 

MJ and Harrison. Buddies in orange for sure!

over 500 views!

Wow! Our blog has over 500 views. Pretty neat-o! Here's a crappy cell phone picture of Harry in celebration.

sick.

Well it happened. We're all sick at the same time. Matt's coughing, Amy's coughing, and little baby Harrison's coughing. Listening to Harrison cough, sneeze, and general feel crappy is hard to watch. For the most part he has a sunny disposition though. MJ and I have raided our pseudofed supply. We're a house o' snot.

Over the weekend Randy stopped by to visit, and was persuaded to come back on Sunday to help us finish painting the west side of the house. He was a trooper, knowing all to well that he too will probably catch our sinus colds. The house is now ready for winter, but will need two more coats this spring...not looking forward to that. 

If any of you are not afraid of heights and want to help us paint the second story eve this spring let us know. We'll buy you something awesome.....or give you money :)

Tea Party

Grandpa Distad came up with the idea to have the Himphill cousins over for a tea party on Sept 29. We enjoyed each others company over Orange Blossom tea, ham & spinach quiche, salad, pumpkin cupcakes, along with little cookie treats. Cousin Jon rode baby Harrison's radio flyer trike, Ashley colored in the Garfield coloring book, and Aunt Julianne played with Harry. A good time was had by all! Thanks Grandpa Distad
