Baby Harrison

On Thursday, Jessica had her first baby! Parker Conrad Harrison was born at 6:59pm weighing 7lbs 11oz. Parker is a name that Jess and Ken liked and Conrad is Ken's middle name. I'm not sure who came up with the Harrison part though. We've been expecting him for the past few weeks. Thursday morning she went to visit the doctor and he decided that the baby was coming out then. He sent her to the hospital around 12pm that day to start the fun. Marie and I were getting updates about every 1-2 hours and my dad called a little after 7pm to let us know our little buddy arrived. Everything went very well and there were no complications. Jess and Ken are safely back home with Parker. Here are some photos just after the birth.

A close second for highlight of the week was Marie establishing her domination in Board Games. So far she is undefeated in head to head match up with me in Monopoly, Life, Battleship and Jenga. Battleship was close, but all the others have been pretty significant victories. The more I try to win, the deeper hole I get myself in.

Not to neglect our little guy, Taylor has been doing very well too. He's been going on walks with us around Birkdale Village and being very good. He lets people pet him and hasn't barked or run after the other dogs. Taylor's newfound behavior is probably a direct result of being seperated from Deucey, Lexi and Spencer. Those dogs are the real troublemakers.

We'll be in Indianapolis in February to visit the newest member of the family. Before then, Amy Martin is coming to visit! Both events will definitely be blog-worthy.
