April, the Longest Month of the Year

Here in Montana, April seems to never end...this month brings many Spring snow storms, gray days and not much warmth or sunshine (and the breaks from school a far & few). We have had a few nice, warm days and with these we race outside and spend them at the BMX track, skateboarding, throwing a football, riding scooters...basically, whatever Harrison wants to do, we do. Here are a few photos from a trip to the park, yesterday.

We found this bike last summer in a garbage in IA. Pat & his passion for bikes, has created the same fascination in our son, so soon you will see this new pedal bike completely transformed...stay tuned.

Harrison found his kite (buried in the closet when he was in there with his flashlight "looking for stuff.") So, we took it out found a pocket of wind and here you go...

During the gray, cold days both Pat & Harrison can be found in the "studio" working with mud (aka clay). Harrison loves "working hard" with his Papa.

**Beaka Update**
As many know, Harrison has never been a boy who needs a lot of sleep to survive. And with taking away his only (!) soother, it has induced even less sleep in our house. I feel awful for doing this to him and think if I had to do it over again that I would let him forever have the damn thing. The tantrums and overall anger of no longer having it has subsided, but having to fall asleep without it is still tough...so hopefully as the weeks progress (ugh) it will continue to get better.
