Just Life around here

Nothing really going on around here the past few days. John went to New Orleans for most of last week, so Harrison and I had lots of time together and ate out a lot, I don't usually cook when John is out of town. When is on trips he is eating out which is one of his least favorite things to do so I know when he gets home he is ready for some home cooking, but it gives me a break too. John had a really good trip, he enjoyed his meetings and LOVED the food, he said he felt like he had been on the Food Network. And for those of you that know John know he only eats to fuel his body so he can work so for him to enjoy food the way he did on his trip, is a big deal.

I have all the Christmas shopping done and almost everything wrapped, and have not thought once about baking which is usually in full swing by now around here. I may just take the year off. The past couple of weeks, I have not been feeling the best, just a lupus flare but am getting back to normal, so hopefully this week my house will get back in order and I may have some energy to think about baking.

The Picture above is from our trip to Bass Pro Shop today. What to do when it is cold and raining... well we went thinking we might see Santa but decided we did not want to wait for ever in line but Harrison LOVES the fish there and they have a putting green so he got to play some "bolf" or golf, that he has been begging for. So 2 1/2 hours at Bass Pro I thought I deserved a pair shoes, so that was are exciting Sunday afternoon.

Tonight we watched "Polar Express" (aka Ho HO Choo Choo) which was a first for Harrison, and even though I know this is the worst picture ever, he sat in this spot with his popcorn without moving for the WHOLE movie. Needless to say he LOVED IT.

Tonight He also told me he needed to go potty and actually did need to so that was big news in our house. In other bragging Harrison is working SO HARD with his speech and his doing GREAT. Everyday he is amazing us at what is coming out. He is working REALLY hard on his name, he does the sounds for each of the following letters, H..R..S..N so with time and increased speed we will get there. He is also saying HELP, STOP, HIDE, and PLEASE to the point that most people would know what he was saying or at least people that know him. So these are all HUGE strides in the right direction for our little Red Head Wonder.
