Harrison has earned the nickname "pickle" from my brother, Matthew. I have no clue where it came from, but Pickle he is. So "what's dill pickle" ... we enjoyed a nice family weekend together. We were able to do some Christmas shopping on Saturday until Brian was called into the hospital. Sunday, we headed to Dubuque for a little gathering with the Ludwig's. Harrison got a bundle of great things and enjoyed all of the snuggles from Grandma and Grandpa.
This weekend will be the first of many airplane adventures for Harrison and his keepers. We leave early Saturday AM for Seattle. Remember way back when... I was put on bedrest before a big trip out West... well this is the rescheduled trip. So we will be in Seattle with my parents for a few days and then head north to Vancouver to meet up with Brian's friends Alecia and Todd. Any advice for parents flying with a 2 month old? :) This could be interesting! We are looking forward to spending time with family and friends. Our first family vacation together is sure to be an exciting experience. Stay tuned...

I did alot of flying/traveling when Allie was just a touch older then Harrison, and she loved the ambient noise of the airplane and slept (when she was a terrible sleeper). Pacifier for him and drugs for you...(in case he doesn't like his ride) :) Cute pics!!!!
I believe some families hang a pickle on their christmas tree for some reason. (An old German tradition?)
Ok, first, I am jealous and happy for you guys at the same time that you are getting to Vancouver.
Second, I am betting Harrison will do great. I guess you never know with a baby, but our experience was travel was good in the first couple of months. It's been the last couple of months now that Olivia is up and running around and always wants to be moving that travel has been more painful.
Bottom line, I think the travel will be easier at 2 months than it would in 6 months from now. But, then again, every babe is different.
It is great to see you guys are doing so well. Tell Todd and Alecia hi for us as well. Take care.
Travis, Nicole, Olivia and Daisy
