Catching up through pictures

Three jobs, two kids and one grad school program is almost unbearably busy. Literally every minute of every day is designated for something. Cleaning, cooking, shopping, laundry, bill paying, working studying, managing the apartments, playing, reading, diapering, nursing...

It literally never ends.

So, I have been a complete and total loaf when it comes to updating our blog. Obviously, a lot has happened since Max was born and Henry turned three in May. Here is my desperate and pathetic attempt to catch up through pictures. After all, pictures say a thousand words, right? Well, this should cover about 30,000 words. That should be enough to catch up after 6 months...

Maxwell Carter Harrison is born! May 15

 Brothers

 First bath - quite a boring affair

Henry turns 3! (And has a fab baseball party, of course.) 

 Henry gives Max his very first bottle

 Berry picking! Yum!

 Enjoying summer

 First smiles - but with a purple face! (Thanks to a nasty case of thrush and the Gentian Violet that was supposed to cure it.)

 At the zoo with school friends

Our SEVENTH anniversary. The kids helped me make this plate. 

 And my sweet hubby got me these gorgeous flowers.

 Best of all? I finally got the KitchenAid mixer I had been dreaming of since our wedding 7 years ago...

 Henry's first Giants game! (This was taken during the national anthem)

 Go Giants!

 We got to have a special mom & Henry date to a day game against the Cubs! Henry got a game ball and a little bat! He was one happy kid. 

Silly boys

 Mama and baby snuggles

 After a rough summer, I got to go to Maui with my mom and Max. It was divine!

 Ahhhh.....

Max loved Hawaii

I even got to parasail with my mom - it was one of the most fun things ever.

Henry stayed home for some Henry/Daddy adventures. Apparently, this included going to Hooters. Classic.

 And eating lots of ice cream.
