Our memories of September 11, 2oo1 are probably a little different than most. Our sweet boy, Harrison was born shortly after the twin towers tragedy. I remember looking at my baby and feeling such joy, then looking at the television screen and feeling such heartache. How could we be happy when so many were so sad? But, that is a theme with Harrison (and each of our children). When life seems too difficult to handle, they always bring laughter and smiles. There is truly never a dull moment with children in the house. They remind us that there's always hope.
This year, Harrison received a sweet little hamster (who he named, "Goldey" - his spelling). Goldey is a lot like Harrison: quiet and gutsy. Goldey has a little ball that he can be locked inside. (There are ventilation holes!) When Goldey is in his plastic ball armor, he is fearless. He chases the cats and pretty much explores every square inch of downstairs in our home. He's a cutie. Of course, we're all getting used to his nocturnal hamster wheel marathons, but he's still cute.Happy Birthday, Harrison!
