Family Picture

Daddy and Son on Easter morning.

Harrison Family Picture (we should have turned around so we weren't looking directly at the sun!)

The Harrisons headed to Epping to see Father Von celebrate Easter Sunday Mass. We were able to get out of the house in time (miracle) and actually got there about 20 minutes early! It was a beautiful Mass and we ran in to some family there too!

Aunt Bertha, Theresa, Sarah, Madeleine, Mommy, Aunt Gail, Benjamin

Close Up

Close up pics of the hot cross buns Sarah and I made yesterday.

Hot Cross Buns

Sarah and I made some hot cross buns when we got home from the Live Stations of the Cross yesterday. I had never made them before but they will now be a Harrison family tradition for Good Friday. They were delicious!

Crowns of Thorns

After Madeleine went down for her nap, Sarah, Mommy, and Daddy made some crowns of thorns (not to be eaten until Easter Sunday of course). I used a bag of chocolate chips (melted in the microwave) and then we broke up some pretzels sticks in the melted chocolate. Here are some pictures:

4 Months!!!!

Benjamin turned 4 months old last Saturday! Mommy brought him to the doctors on Tuesday to get his stats and to make sure he is healthy. Here are the numbers: 18 pounds 3 ounces (95%), 27 inches (97%), and his head is 43 cm (75%). Looks like he is healthy! =)

Here are some pics of Ben hanging out in the Bumbo.

Easter Eggs

The Harrisons decorated their eggs yesterday afternoon (with the company of Garmi and Papa). Sarah did an amazing job putting the eggs in and taking them out of the dye on her own.....Maddie needed a little help from daddy.
