Harrison's adoption day


Harrison's adoption was finalized July 19, 2012.  We celebrate this every year as his day.  Harrison pretty much got to decide everything all day.  He wanted banana bread for breakfast.  He was thrilled to get books from his favorite series as his gift.
After breakfast Leo wanted to celebrate the day with a dance party.  The hats were his idea.
Then it was off to the pool for swimming and lunch at the snack shack (per Harrison's request).
Both of the boys love to play with Grace in the pool.  They fight over who gets to push her around in her floatie.  This was Harrison's turn.
Finally, Harrison wanted to go to Smokey Bones for dinner.  He ordered a root beer and they brought it to him in a glass bottle.  When he got it he said "this place is fancy".
 The grand finale was an oreo milkshake, a great ending to a great day for a great kid!
Yesterday really tugged at my heart as we told Harrison over and over how happy we were that he is in our family.  He's the one who started it all and we couldn't ask for a better first child to lead the way.  We love you Harrison!
