AIRPLANE!!!!

This is Harrison's favorite new word. Especially after we went to the Air and Space Museum in VA on Saturday. It's an extension of the A and S at the Smithsonian and was SO COOL!! Seriously a huge hanger full of planes---and way less crowded and stressful than going downtown..even if Harrison basically wanted to climb over the railing and go try out every plane :)

More fun in the city!

I was nervous about how Harrison would do in a museum but we had such a blast yesterday at the Museum of Natural History! He LOVED the fish/ocean life exhibits the best. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a great time hanging out. We went to lunch at the same Potbelly's (a favorite for sure) that we went to a year ago when we were out here visiting...and can't believe we actually LIVE here now!!

This is how we let him see stuff up close at first, we let him run around in the less busy exhibits :) Dinasour bones!!!

HUGE WOOLY MAMMOTH!!!

They had a "Discovery Room" for kids to look and touch stuff--it was very cool. Harrison loved this crocodile's mouth (and collecting magnifying glasses) the best.
Can you believe this huge coral reef is all crocheted? It's almost as big as the blanket I made for my dad a few years back :)
Daddy and Harrison pose outside--the weather was PERFECT. Just cool enough to wear a sweater but sunny and awesome.
After lunch Harrison had a blast running around the fountains at the Navy Memorial. And of course we tried to get some pictures together
SIT STILL CHILD!!!!

How much time do I get before I have to update the blog??

Just wondering how long the "I just moved" excuse will last. It's been long enough. We are happily all now in Viriginia (me, cory, harrison, the cat. OUR STUFF. YAY.). I've had a great two weeks at work (just training so far, and four more weeks of that comin, but I think I'm going to really like my job, the people are really nice, and those government benefits are AMAZING). Today we took advantage of a FEDERAL HOLIDAY :) and went to a pumpkin patch in Poolesville, Maryland. We met up with Heidi and Joseph and her kiddos and Alissa and her kiddos. The weather was in the 70s and the drive up was beautiful!! Here are a few pics off my phone (sorry, haven't sorted throught the rubble to find my real camera..yet..)
They have wheelbarrows in the parking lot for you to put all your stuff in. Luckily Harrison was only .25 a pound :) We also got about 13 pounds of apples that we (mostly cory, he's taller) picked, 2 pumpkins, a butternut squash, and 2 gallons of apple cider. YUMMY.
OOOH!! A WHEEL!!! By the way, you'll notice there aren't many pics of Harrisons face. Yeah...have you met my son???

PUMPKINS!! We actually took the hayride to the patch and picked ours, but these were cool too.
"baba" (chicken..in Harrison talk because of the sounds chickens make)
climbing up on the fence to get a closer look at a goat
I handed him an apple I picked and he didn't hesitate to jump right in and start eating it....oops....

Alex and Rebekah on the hayride--Heidi also got some pics of Harrison and Rebekah holding hands. SO CUTE. THEY are So getting married someday, right Heidi ;)

Well, thanks for indulging my distraction. Back to trying to figure out how to fit 3/4 of a walk in closet into half of a closet that is basically a wardrobe and not really a closet at all....
