Harry and I safely made it back home from Washington DC on Saturday!  The traveling part went so much better than I could have ever expected!  He was a perfect angel on the flights, especially on the way home.  He even got some complements from some of the people sitting around us about how good he was!  I can only imagine what they were thinking when they saw us coming to sit near them, but I'm glad that he was able to behave so well!  We had a great time in DC, but man!  It was waaaay to hot!  We did manage to see the basics, though.  We visited the Vietnam Memorial, WWII Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, the White House, the Capitol, and we visited one of the Smithsonians (Air and Space).  I had no idea just how many Smithsonian museums there were!  I guess I just pictured it being one huge place!  We also went to Georgetown and Alexandria for dinner 2 of the nights.  However, our main reason for going wasn't to sightsee, it was to visit with Juliana!  It was so great to spend time with her and for her to finally meet Harry!  Juli and her husband Ricky was such great hosts (they insisted on giving us their bedroom while they slept on a pull out couch!) and they were also great with Harry.  I can easily imagine them having one of their own soon!  : )  Thanks again for letting us intrude on your lives for a few days! 

The next day was also very joyous for us...Daddy finally got home safe and sound from his fishing trip!  I think he was very glad to get home, and we were very glad to have him back!  I think he really missed home, and he even said he would never take a trip for that long away from home again!  Yay!  I think it had more to do with him missing Harry than it did him missing me, but any reason for him not to be gone that long again is fine with me!  I cannot imagine spending that much time in the car just to fish...guys do the craziest things!

Harry has developed a little quirk recently.  He loves to hold any sort of object in his hands (anything, even a dirty diaper will do!  Ewwwww.) and HOW DARE YOU if you try to take it away!  I don't think he has a preference for any one object, he just loves to hold something.  Today at Target I bought him a pack of Little People, and he kept looking at it adoringly like it was a pack of diamonds.  He even threw a little fit when we had to give it to the cashier to pay for it!  So cute, but also a little annoying when he carries the diaper from the changing table to the trash can and refuses to throw it away!  My silly little guy!
