2010...The New Year in Bend

We were fortunate to spend the first few weeks of the New Year in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Harrison loves Eastern Oregon and enjoyed our hikes, snowshoe adventures, walks into town, visiting with friends, and spending quality time with extended family.

Perfectly content cuddling up with Dad in my new aviator hat

A rainy hike up to Tumalo Falls with the family...luckily this stylish Delta Gamma umbrella came through to keep Andy & Harrison dry

Harrison has a great gift of making anyone sleepy. He is working his magic on Gigi above.

Nap time with Dad

I love this self portrait documenting Harrison's first ride in his Moby wrap facing outwards. He spent the next 5 minutes giggling uncontrollably at himself in the mirror.

A few poses in my Amelia Earhart hat...

Harrison was able to spend some quality time with his friend Ethan while in Bend: going for long walks together in the park, discussing current events (in their native tongue), and here, working on gross motor skill development.

Riding in style...the Chariot made its maiden voyage on the banks of the Deschuttes river. This truly is an incredible piece of gear. Harrison would like to thank all of those who made his dream chariot into a reality.

Overdressed? Never.

Harrison's First Girlfriend

We finally made our way up to Hood River this week and visited our dear friend Stef and her family. Harrison was so excited to meet her adorable girls, Sequoia and Willow.

Love at first sight - Sequoia & Harrison

hhhmmmm... on second thought I'm too young for this - I'm way more interested in my hands

Why do our parents make us pose like this?
