Here and Now

I am finding it hard to realize that Harrison's 4th birthday is looming just-around-the-corner...seems like yesterday he was just learning how to walk and now he's a preschooler and loving (o.k. this may be an exaggeration, maybe enjoying is a better word)it. We no longer have protests, just questions about how many days until the weekend, where his days are full of playing superhero, rescuing others from bad guys, wrestling with his buddies. His parent-teacher conference was a few weeks ago and as teachers we loved to hear how our child is learning about the world -- starting with North and South America; recognizing quantities and matching with the #; singing so many songs - tonight we learned a new one about the skeleton and having 206 bones in our bodies...I am sure that as the years continue to pass by, he will continue to amaze us with all he does. He is such a sweet boy.

Here are a couple of photos that were snapped today while out at friends playing in the snow, as Pat worked on a 36 hr. wood firing. Harrison is so HAPPY that the snow is falling in MT.

The snow was too sticky for sledding...so Harrison opted for rolling down the hillside. He had to wear his helmet b/c he was on a "mountain" and the goggles protected his eyes from getting poked-out (something he worries about, constantly!)

Moon thinking that his assistance is needed.
