The week (okay, actually NINE DAYS!) that I have been dreading for a while is here...Travis is on vacation fishing with buddies while Harry and I are fending for ourselves!  He has been gone since early Friday morning.  I will have to say though that the only really hard day was Friday and since then we have been getting along fine.  For some reason, Oscar must have been in a bad mood and kept growling at Harry for no apparent reason. Harry was hanging all over him, but that's no different than any other day.  Then the little guy proceeded to have 4 really nasty diapers and refused to stop playing in the dogs' waterbowl.  I was really frustrated, so by the early evening I packed up the baby, myself, and the dogs and headed to my mom's!  We spent sometime with her and then Harry and I went to Travis's Granny's and spent the night with her, Rob and Linda who were in town for the race.  I am lucky that I have had some help this week.  My mom came over to watch him Sunday while I went to the race with Rob, Linda, Chris and Kirsten, and Katrina offered to watch him late yesterday and today while I worked since Travis wouldn't be around to pick him up!  Hooray for good friends and family!

A few random pics of Harry doing his 2 favorite things, playing with my cell phone and reading!

Speaking of the fishing trip, the word from Travis is that the fishing isn't going all that well.  Apparently, it is difficult to catch a lot of fish when it is so hot.  So Travis has only caught one fish, and the threw it back because it was so small!  Scottie caught a big bass that he is planning on mounting (I'm sure Julia will just love that!), but that has been the only highlight so far.  I hope they aren't craving a big fish dinner because it may not happen!

Harry and I leave for Washington DC tomorrow to spend a few days with Juliana and Ricky.  I feel a little bit crazy for traveling by myself with a toddler, but it is a pretty short flight so hopefully it will go well.  I was a little worried about how I was going to get from the car to the terminal with all of our stuff (suitcase, carseat, and Pack 'n Play for him to sleep in) with baby in tow, but Mom is coming over to take us so I'll have an extra pair of hands!  I have never been to DC so I am looking forward to seeing all of the landmarks.  It will be so great to spend some time with Juli too!  I haven't seen her since her wedding almost 2 years ago.  Please think good traveling thoughts for us!!
