Business As Usual

Harrison is slowly becoming integrated into our every day lives.  Now that he's two weeks old, we've been taking him out with us more and more.  He's made a couple of trips to Wal-Mart, went out to eat with us a couple of times this past weekend, and made his first Sunday church service this past weekend.

Saturday, Mom and Sid and Grandmother and Granddaddy came down so that Grandmother and Granddaddy could meet Harrison.  Since they had to come from Tallassee, they decided to not come to the hospital so that they would be able to spend more time with him when they did come.  It was a good visit and we got some good pictures.

Sunday went really well.  I thought it was pretty awesome that Harrison's first Sunday service was Homecoming.  It was an extended service and he slept for a good bit of it.  DeAnne did have to get up and take him out once, but for the most part, he was a little champ.  He also slept through the fellowship lunch after services.  I told him that one day he'll come to really enjoy the great southern tradition that is eating after church and that I thought it set a good precedent that his first Sunday in church was one that had a fellowship meal.

Finally, we've had to break down and buy a freezer.  We really could have stood to have one for about two years now, we've just been putting it off.  We went to Sears yesterday and got one that will fit in our storage room.  The only real problem with buying a freezer and putting it in the storage room is that it meant cleaning out the storage room so that we could get it in there.  I didn't think I would get it done yesterday, but after about four hours of sweating like crazy, I had the corner the freezer is going in completely cleaned out.  The rest of the storage room is kind of packed out now and there's a good bit more stuff in the storage building, but we should be able to get the freezer in place.  Maybe now we'll actually be able to see what's in the freezer in the kitchen.

See you on Thursday.
