Happy 1st Birthday!

Even though we've been terribly busy at work, we can't skip over the single most important day, thus far, of Harrison's life. His first birthday was a wonderful event! I've always loved birthdays; and you think back when you were a kid and nothing was better than your birthday. Well being a parent on your child's birthday IS better. The day Harrison was born was so monumental in my own life, I wanted to celebrate with everyone we knew. So we did.
We had a big party on Saturday celebrating with our family and friends. Jill Osmon, my best friend from college, came down for the weekend and met Harrison for the first time. Needless to say, we put Jill to work for the party - she was a fabulous help! She also taught Harrison to give kisses, which he does all the time now. Thanks Jill for both!!! Grandma and Grandpa came down from Akron and my family was almost all there. We were bummed Aunt La and Aunt Stephanie couldn't be there but we understood they wanted to be.
So here are a few highlights -- both Brian and I were too busy entertaining and soaking it all in we didn't get too many pictures but our friends did. Once we get more we will be sure to fill everyone in on the party's festivities and the who's who list of guests!
