Weekend Recap

After a busy weekend the previous week, this weekend was all about relaxing. We especially loved having Dad home on Monday to hang out with us! It's amazing though, I'm not nearly as productive when Nick is home. You'd think I'd get more done with a second set of hands to hang with Harrison. Nope, I lounge and then frantically try to cram in all my chores during nap time when Nick's back at work. Such is life :)

Friday

Impromptu date night! Uncle Danny was coming over to watch Harrison while I had a trip to the doctor. Luckily, we wrangled Uncle Dan into staying later so we could try out the new Irish pub by our house. It worked out since my appointment was canceled and Danny didn't drive all the way out to North Liberty for no reason. (Well, I guess just hanging with Harrison is probably a pretty good reason!) 

Beer Cheese Dip with boxy fritters...yum!

It was nice getting out of the house for a date. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. That said, we rushed home to see Harrison! For now, the perfect date night only lasts about an hour. Otherwise, we just miss him too much :) 

Saturday

We had some very special visitors come on Saturday! Aunt Lynn, Uncle Bryce, Baby Hawk, and Ozzie finally made it to Iowa City to meet Harrison! We had entirely way too much fun spending the day with them. Harrison loved meeting them and we can't wait for Baby Hawk to arrive! We had a glimpse of what it will be like trading in nights out drinking for family fun. It was a blast! 

Harrison and his future BFF

Sunday

"In Heaven there is no beer..." was being sung in this household. Aunt Nicole and Tony came over to watch the Hawk's basketball game. Nothing beats cheering for the #10 ranked team in the country. Go Hawks!

We were a little nervous there in the first half....

There was also a heat wave on Sunday! (Well, almost 50 degrees certainly felt like a heat wave to us Iowans.) We decided to bundle up and go for a walk. Harrison was only able to go on 2 outdoor walks before winter hit. Let's just say, newborn Harrison was not impressed. He actually spent his 2nd walk crying the entire time. We were excited to try it again since Harrison is more aware of his surroundings. We busted out our B.O.B. jogging stroller since it's geared towards outdoor more than our Chicco stroller. Good thing we did, it helped us navigate through any snow piles! Our B.O.B. is definitely one present we hadn't planned on getting but grateful that Buschie and Ken surprised us with one! 

Off roading!

Harrison LOVED going for the walk. I think it was a combo of things: he's older now and enjoys looking around at his environment, as well as, the B.O.B. had his car seat raised higher than his other stroller. I think it's easier for him to look around and feel like he's participating in our conversation. (Do not let him feel excluded or you'll hear lots of crying!) 

Monday

After all the fun of the weekend, Monday was spent being lazy. We enjoyed lounging and playing with Harrison all day :) He's also starting to roll onto his sides while he plays. I can't believe that in a couple months, he will be rolling all the way over! 

Not technically from Monday but I had to end with a cute pic!

Hope your weekend was as enjoyable as ours!
