Congratulations Matt and Callie!

What a weekend! We went down to St. Louis for my "little" brother Matt and Callie's wedding! Harrison was excited to see the groom to be!


One side note - Harrison is becoming quite the traveler...so much so that he actually ran into someone he knew on our flight! His buddy Thomas, who will be starting at his daycare soon, was headed to St. Louis to see his grandparents (he isn't quite old enough to be an unaccompanied minor so his parents Meagn and Mike were there too.)
Anyway, back to the wedding festivities! The wedding took place at a park that is part of an old military fort. The perfect backdrop for Matt and Callie. The sun was shining but temperatures did sore into the upper 90's. Despite the heat, it was a beautiful wedding.

Uncle Andy helped to entaintain Harrison all weekend. Harrison was especially fond of Uncle Andy this weekend since he made multiple runs out to get Harrison food for lunches and dinners!
The whole family! (minus Harrison and Noland since they had had enough of pictures in the heat by that point)We all tried to drink plenty of water to stay cool - even Harrison! My Aunt DeDe and Uncle Brian kept Harrison in their air conditioned car until the last minute and then took care of him all afternoon (even changing a dirty diaper in the extreme heat - yuck!). Thank you! Harrison did not make a sound through the entire ceremony even though it was his nap time. Such a good boy!Harrison had a blast at the reception! They had bubbles so that entertained him for a good hour. He is definitely a Lichty because he liked being on the dance floor! He made it until the second to last song, but then fell asleep in Matt's arms on the dance floor as we were all slow dancing.
Although we were quite busy with wedding activities, we did manage to see a couple of St. Louis' attractions including a quick stop for some bbq...

Congratulations Uncle Matt, Aunt Callie, & Cousin Noland!

Happy Father's Day

Although we had to celebrate Father's Day a little early (since we were out of town), the day still had new meaning for Matt and me. We are blessed to have two outstanding fathers and I think Harrison is equally blessed to have such an amazing dad!

Family Fun!

Harrison had a very busy weekend. We first attended our cousin Taylor's graduation party (but mom forgot the camera!) It was fun to catch up with our cousins on the Watts' side. On Sunday, we took advantage of the great weather and headed out to the farmer's market in Minneapolis!Sunday evening, Harrison FINALLY got to meet his cousin's Anna and Natalie! They live in Hawaii so they haven't visited since last summer. It took no time for them to warm up to each other! Our Grandma Dorthy is smiling down at her great grand children!

Just a day in the park...

We are so excited that our Daycare person Mary is back! Harrison is even more excited! He had a great time at the park today with Mary. He loves the swings!

Mover and shaker...

Why do parents encourage their kids to learn to crawl??? It just creates a lot more work! Harrison is moving all over the place now and into EVERYTHING.
