The Arrival of Mark Alan Harrington: 3-27-09

I just thought this was a cute picture of him :-) 

Mark was "Delivered with Love at Geauga Medical Center"... 
it was a great experience!!

Mark's First Picture



Mark Alan Harrington was born on March 27th, 2009.  He weighed 7lb 15oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Fun fact: Two days before Mark was born Chris looked up online various foods that encourage labor.  The night I went into labor we feasted on 2 of those foods: eggplant parm and pineapple... yum :-) Apparently they are pretty effective... especially considering I was a week and a half early!!

Baby Showers

Lindzey Gray and Olivia Lin blessed us greatly by throwing us a baby shower.  We all had a lot of fun-- celebrating with games, gifts, and delicious food...yum!  Both Harrington and Hanlon sisters and moms were able to make it to the shower.  Most of our friends at the shower guessed we were having a boy.  Who would have thought only 13 days later we would find out they were right!!

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
