Henry turns 8

What fun we have had this week. Henry turned 8 on the 11th and we had both sets of Grandparents here for his birthday and baptism. His cousin Amanda came from Utah and his Aunt and Uncle came with their child from Detroit. We are grateful for such a supportive family and thank those that were able to come.

Mom, Henry and Dad...could I be bigger? Of course I can, I still have 14 weeks to go.

What's the deal with this pose?

Thank goodness for Digital Cameras

How mad would I have been if I had developed a roll of film and this is what was on it? 30 pics of this....

I think that I will remember what my computer looks like in 30 years (or are they documenting some high score?). I also don't think that my messy computer room needs to be documented. I do think the antenna toppers are cool though...

Candy Chains

Ben's family has a Christmas tradition of making candy chains. One piece of candy a day for the month of December. My mother-in-law is nice enough to count out the candy, cut the ribbon and send it all to us. Last night we constructed ours. Henry wasn't crazy about some of the candy options, so he pulled out his Halloween candy and put some of that on instead. Whatever works! Thanks, Annette.
