Oregon Visit Part 3

 

Towards the end of the week, Joseph finally started getting some good Harris family time.

Maureen, my mother-in-law greeted us with HOMEMADE OREOS! 

Now, if you know Maureen, you will know how unusual this is! :)  That made it even more special.

There must be something about Grandpas, because Joseph thinks that his Grandad is really neat.

  

Different and surprising, but really neat!!

There is something that you should all know.  In the Harris family, Joseph is the first grandchild.  This makes him the smartest, cutest, sweetest, most spoiled grandchild too!  Basically, he gets to do whatever he wants and everyone just sits around and smiles/watches/laughs.

 

See what happens when I'm not around? (Caught you Lisa! And you call yourself a Health Care Professional...)

Joseph got to open his Birthday present from Grandmo and Grandad.  He got this stylin' shirt from Tiny Sprouts, another cute outfit, and this top that he LOVES!

Then, Joseph got to ride between his Daddy and his Uncle John to go to the annual VERBOORT FESTIVAL!!!   Apparently, this is an annual get-together where people sit and eat obscene amounts of Verboort sausage, sauerkraut, and other goodies.  (I was at a baby shower, pictures coming later, and couldn't make it.) It is a Harris family tradition, and this time Joseph not only got to tag along, he also got to sample the fare.

Brian's best friend since Kindergarten, and his wife (who is also my friend and a follower of this blog- shout out to Britney!!) also got to stop by to love on Joseph and marvel at his size and tricks.

Basically, everyone at the Harris house loves Joseph, and they can't get enough of him!
