A Cold September

After weeks of battling a common cold, Harrison is fully mended! And to celebrate we bring you pictures! PICTURES!

When we last reported on Harrison, he was about to begin daycare. It's been a great experience for all of us. There was the day when they decided he didn't need an afternoon nap "because he was having fun." See above picture for the result of that.


Then, of course, Harrison caught his first cold after a week. That was expected. But so not cool. No nasty details, but lots of changing his clothes and lots of tissues. Poor kid could hardly breath, and what little he did eat worked its way through him pretty fast. But, as you can see above, Harrison still looked happy - even with a crusty nose.


Harrison's new thing is the remote control and our cell phones. Above, he's changing the channel, because he hated whatever we were watching. He always changes the channel to 77. We don't have a channel 77. So he must enjoy the loud hissing and static that you get when there's nothing on a channel.



After dinner most nights we go for a walk and then post walk we spread out a blanket on the lawn and sit and enjoy the weather. Harrison loves being outside with us and usually spends most of his outside time attacking Craig.


Last weekend, Craig and Laura headed up to Copper Harbor, Michigan for a wedding. We stayed at the beautiful and historic Keweenaw Mountain Lodge and took a spin along the Brockway Mountain Drive. We also drove over the Fanny Hooe Creek Bridge Isn't that crazy how many wikipedia entries there are on the Copper Harbor area? It was a beautiful weekend and a beautiful wedding with delicious lake trout and blueberry cheesecake at the reception. And delicious beer brewed by the groom. That was a fantastic weekend.


Harrison stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Corsten where they still spoil him, even though he makes a huge mess out of their house. Despite the sternest warnings from his father, Harrison seems to be taking an interest in newspapers. They'll only break his heart.



We got home from Michigan Monday, and it was super nice out, so we went for a swim in Rock Lake (we can do wikipedia entries all day long). The water was still surprisingly warm. We were hoping to have the beach all to ourselves, but apparently quite a few people had the same idea as us. A nice cap to the summer.
