Yesterday was the 4th of July, and what a great day it was. <br />
<br />
We started off the morning at our ward's annual "Flag Raising" ceremony. We sing some patriotic songs, hear from a few speakers, honor our veteran's and then enjoy friend and fellowshipping by enjoying some cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate. I really love that it is a faith-based way to start of the day in a way that I love so much. The mayor comes, which I think is pretty cool, and even though I spend most of the time trying to keep Henry and Levi quiet and still, it's still such a perfect way to start of one of my favorite holidays. <br />
<br />
I tried a new cinnamon roll recipe <a href="http://therecipecritic.com/2014/04/strawberry-cinnamon-rolls-lemon-cream-cheese-glaze/" target="_blank">here</a>. It was delicious, but I stayed up WAY too late the night before making them, so I was exhausted most of the day yesterday. However, the treats turned out really yummy, so it was worth it. :) <br />
<br />
After the flag raising, Shane rode down with Kasey self to get some fireworks for the night show later at the Self party. We then went and hung out with the Recklings and had a great BBQ with them, while the kids splashed in the cold water. It was a bit rainy and cold all day, but that didn't seem to stop them from enjoying the day. We enjoyed the visiting and relaxing with them at their house in the beautiful back yard that they have. <img class="animated" height="523" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7638/27818425170_52f50f12d3_h.jpg" style="transition: none;" width="640" /><br />
<br />
We then came back home and met up with Uncle Zach and Uncle Luke, who came with us out to the Self's house. It was fun to hang out and blow up hundreds of sparklers, roman candles, firecrackers, and such for hours. Throw in an amazing rope swing, dune-buggy track, trampoline and great friends, and it was really the perfect evening. We haven't gone for a few years, mostly because I have been so worried about the kids and all the chaos there, but they truly loved every second of it. <br />

We found a farm in Issaquah that is so fun. They have "open farm days" where you can stop by and visit the animals, play on the bouncy toys, ride the trains and ponies, and drive the tractors. The kids all love it and this time especially loved chasing around the ducklings, chickens and bunnies. </div>

Finally, we ended the day at the Bellevue Downtown park with the Folkan Family. It was a fun way to end the day and the fireworks were fantastic. Levi was a little scared at first, but then he relaxed and enjoyed them for the most part. :) </div>

We celebrated a wonderful 4th of July again this year. It was busy as always, but oh so fun. We started the day off early at 8:00 with the Flag Raising ceremony at the church along with homemade cinnamon rolls. Then we came home for breakfast (since there are never enough cinnamon rolls for everyone). And headed over the downtown for the 4th of July fun. We always skip the parade so we can have a turn on the ponies and the bouncy toys before the masses arrive. It was fun as always. We walked around and got to see the firetrucks, which was Henry (& probably Shane's) favorite part. <br />

Last night, after a busy day of helping Pete and Becca move into their new house and being stuck in Seattle traffic after visiting Hardwicks' hardward store, we needed some quiet family time. So we went and played at the beach of the State Park for a while. <br />
<br />
Henry and Shane splashed and played in the water until they were completely soaked. Emma built sandcastles down the beach from where we were sitting. Levi was exhausted, and was scared of the noise the little waves made from the boats as they passed. It was such a fun time to just sit and let the kids get completely dirty. <br />

Emma's dance recital this year was so fun. She danced in both performances, one for ballet and one for hip hop. She loved her costume and called it her "princess dress". For hip hop, she got to decorate a mask with glitter and feathers and then did a fun dance. We are so proud of her. We love to see her on stage, and while she is a little shy about performing still, its so fun to watch her dance. <br />

We can't believe Emma is done with Kindergarten. Even harder to believe is that she will go to school next year for a full day. It seems weird that my sweet little girl will be gone from home 7+ hours a day. She still seems to little for that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She did a wonderful job in Kindergarten this year. She made lots of friends, and loved her teacher Mrs. Duke. She learned so much about reading, writing, music and art. She misses school already and is working in a workbook everyday this summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We all went to see her little graduation ceremony and they had a little reception in the classroom afterwards, with cake and juice. She'll be graduating in the class of 2024. Seems very weird. </div>

<br />
What began as a blog to communicate with loved ones, has changed. It has really become my journal. No one blogs anymore, and no one leaves comments, which I am fine with. However, the distraction of my "audience" remains as I try to write posts for this blog. I wonder who checks it, what they'll think of what I post, instead of just recording our lives in the family journal I want it to be. I write it <em>about</em> and <em>for </em>our little family. At the end of each year, I create a photo book and include these blog posts, so it literally becomes our family journal. <br />
<br />
Not many people out there have their private journals open for family and friends to read as they come to visit. This "audience" sometimes causes a hesistation in what I post. I want to eliminate that. I want to write about every facet of our lives, about our relationships, love, faith, routines, work and anything and everything else that I can think of. And all this can only be truly understood within the context of our little family. I want to write alot more and in order to do that I can't worry about who might be reading it. <br />
<br />
For example, today I had a moment of pure joy. It was simple, sweet happiness. We had driven to Bellevue to meet Shane for dinner and had a great time together. After helping me get the kids in the car, Shane and I talked just a moment in the parking lot about his work, his dirty shirt, and the kids. We laughed and he gave me a big kiss and a huge bear hug. We said goodbye and then got in our cars and drove off. Shane was in one lane, and we were in the other. The kids yelling "Bye Daddy" out the window to him as he drove back to work. Then on the way home, all three kids were belly laughing together in the backseat. Even Levi. Emma was making them all laugh by making funny noises into an empty water bottle. I was struck with how blessed I am. It was truly one of the most joyful moments of my life. I feel so lucky to have my sweet children, and my Shane. In this crazy world, we have this sweet little life that I adore. We came home and I wanted to write it down to remember that powerful moment. As I started to blog, I thought..."well, what if people think I'm being a bit braggy, our life isn't perfect..." and that moment of pure joy was tainted. Worrying about what others might think now changed how I felt about that sweet memory. <br />
<br />
So, I'm done. But, this journal will continue and I'm excited for what it will become to us. <br />
<br />
And just for the record, I do think our life is Perfect. Its a crazy, busy, problematic, challenged filled life, that constantly wears me down to nothing and then fills me back up again with joy, and it is absolutely Perfect to me. <br />
<br />
So if you want to stay connected, you can find me on facebook. I often post pictures of us and little bits about our adventures. I'm always an email or phone call away, or better yet a visit, where I'll gladly let you look at our family journals. For some reason the in-home sharing of a family journal is different that the blogging set-up I have going on here. <br />
<br />
See you on the internets. :) <br />

Poor guy just can't catch a break. He's been grumpy the past couple days and hasn't had much of an apetite. Tonight at bedtime, he wouldn't eat more than a bit or two of dinner, and then just wanted his milk. So we gave him some medicine and sent him to bed at 7:00.<br />

About 8:30, he wandered out, happy as a clam. The medicine must have kicked in. :) He had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and sat on Shane's lap sipping Pepsi and watching "Swamp Loggers" on TV with Shane. I'm so glad he's feeling better, and even happier that he finally ate something. I figure we could let him stay up a little later tonight, since he was finally acting like his normal happy self. I hope he has a good night tonight and that he wakes up in the morning feeling even better.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17456384526179503973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850309836427779673.post-65550880038203213302012-05-27T22:25:00.001-07:002012-05-27T22:27:04.531-07:00The Pink Eye Family Adventures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So... Emma's pink eye has been gone since Monday, however, the boys pink eye didn't show up until Thursday! This has not been a fun week. We thought we were out of the blue and then both Levi and Henry got it bad. Especially Levi. I finally had to take him in for some prescription eye drops to help his poor little eyes get better. He's now at about 98%. Henry should be done with his by tomorrow. Poor guys. They aren't in pain, but their eyes get really goopy and their eyelids stick together in the morning. </div>

While we've been essentially under quarantine, so no one else gets sick, we couldn't stand to stay home all day today when it was so beautiful. So we decided to drive up to Deception Pass and throw rocks in the water for a bit. It was so beautiful, and while Henry was a bit grumpy, we all had a wonderful time together. We ate snacks, threw rocks and enjoyed the fresh sea air. Since we couldn't go to church today, this was an awesome second choice. Hopefully the rest of the pink eye will be gone soon. We were supposed to go camping this weekend, but due to the illnesses, we canceled. We've been having a "camp-in" and still eating all our camp food. Last night we had corndogs and s'mores. Today we tried (& failed) with tin-foil dinners, due to a failed attempt at "carbecue" (don't ask) and now we'll have our dutch oven cake tomorrow. Its been an unconventional, but very fun and fulfilling weekend with family. </div>

A couple of weeks ago, we got to attend Emma's Kindergarten singing program. Her music teacher, Mr. Johnson, is really amazing, and he had them sing contemporary versions of Mother Goose rhymes. It was really fun. Emma was a bit shy, her whole class did great. The actions he had them doing during the songs were hilarious! <br />

Santa brough Henry his first little train set this year for Christmas. Since then, we've picked up a few sets of extra tracks at IKEA. We try to pick up a new set each time we go. He now has enough to make some fairly cool and elaborate train tracks. Both Emma and Shane are really sweet and patient with him and love to help his set up tracks. Once ready to go, he'll lay on the floor and play with the trains for hours. Its really cute. He needs to work on his sharing though. Once the trains are up and running, they are all his. :) </div>

We went to a farm on Saturday morning, and after being home a few hours, Emma's eye got swollen and red. I assumed it was an allergic reaction, and that she must have some type of animal hair in her eye. (We have animal allergies that run in my family). But, we ran to Urgent care on Saturday night and found out it was conjunctivitus. So Emma and I spent Sunday cooped up indoors, surrounded by lots of hand sanitizer and relaxing time. We did have fun at the farm, though. Mini tractors, pony & train rides, horses, pigs, goats, birds,rope swings and a bouncy house...what more could we have asked for! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I told her I have a bunch of really good friends, but I'm not sure who I would say was my best friend. <br />
<br />
She thought for a minute and said, "Oh, I know. It's Daddy!" <br />
<br />
I smiled and said, "Right you are Emma. I would rather be with Daddy than any other person on the planet." <br />
<br />
I sure love that man. I love his kindness, his sense of humor, his faithfulness, and especially the way he fathers our kiddos. I'm so proud that Emma can see how much we love being together. I hope she seeks out that kind of a relationship when its time for her to get married. Growing up, I saw it in my parents, and knew that was the kind of marriage I wanted to have. I loved the way my dad looked at my mom. I loved when they would have inside jokes that we didn't understand. I loved watching my dad take her out on a date every weekend. I loved watching my dad steal a kiss from my mom while she was cooking dinner. I grew up in a house where best friends married and I loved it.<br />
<br />
I can't tell you how much it means to me that Emma sees that in us already. I so wanted to be married to my best friend, and I am forever grateful that it worked out that way.

We got up early on Sunday morning and decided to head up to visit the Tulips before church. Shane had no meetings, so we thought it would be the perfect time to enjoy the weather and some family time. It was a quick, but beautiful trip. We loved seeing the Tulips, and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch on the grass. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning. </div>

PS...This is a great view of Henry's boots. I can't believe the love this kid has for these boots, they are his favorite thing to wear in the entire world. He wears them around the house and around the neighborhood. He often wears them for his naps. I noticed this week that they are starting to crack a little on the back, so I believe their days are numbered. He will be devastated. I am now actively looking for some new ones. We scored these for $5 at a consignment shop, so I'm hoping to find an awesome deal on his next pair. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17456384526179503973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850309836427779673.post-68272395723917128192012-04-10T16:43:00.002-07:002012-04-10T16:49:46.090-07:00Easter 2012<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-esT0iWF5bhyphenhyphen77ik6n-JgaVtamCl47N-umdOvqrXD9zX5YqSeuPhetoPi_4aAsNP4YXoxOxWqjQNExVdtyMJvDoDQhq1AQ9B5MXcb2IE-9xHWXyb_06dVgNWC-t-hJIBGHUPRyrZavEw/s1600/DSC_3242.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 254px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-esT0iWF5bhyphenhyphen77ik6n-JgaVtamCl47N-umdOvqrXD9zX5YqSeuPhetoPi_4aAsNP4YXoxOxWqjQNExVdtyMJvDoDQhq1AQ9B5MXcb2IE-9xHWXyb_06dVgNWC-t-hJIBGHUPRyrZavEw/s400/DSC_3242.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729923480098245474" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzUc2uGe6sJdYEsGDsMZibea9RY0-u3QKNgoJfTpDV8t2HGtNOus2oPyI4-4Ja9Nw71mBiEhfX-8uhtoJX_t99kIctPoUWNbQeWUXSTBN2Bn-IqL2d_8jDDPvcCtUYAdxn7GtoowmWvM0/s1600/DSC_3230.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzUc2uGe6sJdYEsGDsMZibea9RY0-u3QKNgoJfTpDV8t2HGtNOus2oPyI4-4Ja9Nw71mBiEhfX-8uhtoJX_t99kIctPoUWNbQeWUXSTBN2Bn-IqL2d_8jDDPvcCtUYAdxn7GtoowmWvM0/s400/DSC_3230.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729923467489914306" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLewaKZn0Dm-5xWMgOEWrKsnadznUqV_LD0mwBxJJjo7dGL8ffXzgB2qH0YTkMq1VFBZp-GwewM2olXesUSA4FCDRZA2WouW-kY2R_OsyadlR-yEhuEju5zLQ6ycRY4cFi72htsCZL6Us/s1600/DSC_3227.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 263px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLewaKZn0Dm-5xWMgOEWrKsnadznUqV_LD0mwBxJJjo7dGL8ffXzgB2qH0YTkMq1VFBZp-GwewM2olXesUSA4FCDRZA2WouW-kY2R_OsyadlR-yEhuEju5zLQ6ycRY4cFi72htsCZL6Us/s400/DSC_3227.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729923464424257618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiW3qSVbubuVpTW6oVWFhaZVXydf-1p_VYgkidmvsN9MgH2sTgj26aHMWXDhAJsQyOZ29WNTffjyEoYtg1uXe6Ws2MJhyphenhyphenaEOFMV6gFbrnfhf7In2whR6h3RLZWgxfxRqKFcXux6Irh2wA/s1600/DSC_3212.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiW3qSVbubuVpTW6oVWFhaZVXydf-1p_VYgkidmvsN9MgH2sTgj26aHMWXDhAJsQyOZ29WNTffjyEoYtg1uXe6Ws2MJhyphenhyphenaEOFMV6gFbrnfhf7In2whR6h3RLZWgxfxRqKFcXux6Irh2wA/s400/DSC_3212.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729923446257640002" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKMnrd3AT3ytoDThlJ8X5hnaa6OsiB86TZezin1Vr0ed_YaiUHD3im_fQDwNDR069U6PJ3Cyk_hjopcCrOvafAdyYROl34NwIVvU309Bja0B4IAGMndSliyKVcegOc2-e_dwbdIZRDmjg/s1600/DSC_3163.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKMnrd3AT3ytoDThlJ8X5hnaa6OsiB86TZezin1Vr0ed_YaiUHD3im_fQDwNDR069U6PJ3Cyk_hjopcCrOvafAdyYROl34NwIVvU309Bja0B4IAGMndSliyKVcegOc2-e_dwbdIZRDmjg/s400/DSC_3163.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729923445369478066" /></a><br />We enjoyed a beautiful Easter together this year. It was a beautiful sunny day, and after a lazy morning and big breakfast and our own little egg hunt, we went to church and then headed out to the Folkmans for Easter dinner and an egg hunt put on by Grandma & Grandpa. The kids had so much fun and we loved sitting outside laughing, relaxing and spending time with everyone. It was such a fun day. Grandma & Grandpa made Schnitzel, and it was so good. We'll have to try it at home. <div><br />Saturday our festivities began with an egg hunt at the church in the morning, and dyeing eggs with Grandma Reckling and Uncle Michael along with some homemade Garlic Chicken pizza. It was a great weekend start to our spring break. </div><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17456384526179503973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850309836427779673.post-18309095587565402232012-03-04T10:30:00.004-08:002012-03-04T10:38:22.751-08:00Henry's Birthday Celebration<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ASNbIzi-i9Bl0aYBSf7PdUglDU-xY01logH8cHdHo8wFC8qsmgqqpcaJRGxRC_1IPIkXP2Q3C2pFoYt5UN-0LFxSgKrxmHfPIWGUK0-8M02SPRqoIMyFeP7l9UepojJBSFhpBbtoYZM/s1600/DSC_3111.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 283px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716111883226892722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ASNbIzi-i9Bl0aYBSf7PdUglDU-xY01logH8cHdHo8wFC8qsmgqqpcaJRGxRC_1IPIkXP2Q3C2pFoYt5UN-0LFxSgKrxmHfPIWGUK0-8M02SPRqoIMyFeP7l9UepojJBSFhpBbtoYZM/s400/DSC_3111.JPG" /></a> Yesterday for Henry's birthday, we decided to take the day off and do something fun. After Emma's basketball game in the morning (which she did awesome at, she scored 3 baskets!) we went into Seattle. We rode the Ferry over to Bainbridge Island and visited the cute little kids museum over there. It ended up being a beautiful day, and we were able to enjoy the sunshine. Its one of our favorite little places, and it is a beautiful little trip to get there. </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Happy Birthday Henry!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJ1XFrso4qEuVvBGm1RvuhcfVmGc_4eFbDRsJOa_P82QW8GXItE80m-4wiDK-kR00owLwV74HQCgCdVyza4bgTjMyevT5hqXM0HWyxSiRqGS0R1_gJGyWwpVSMzF3ttS4Yq8z_MJIsSA/s1600/DSC_3109.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 287px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716111874975549714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJ1XFrso4qEuVvBGm1RvuhcfVmGc_4eFbDRsJOa_P82QW8GXItE80m-4wiDK-kR00owLwV74HQCgCdVyza4bgTjMyevT5hqXM0HWyxSiRqGS0R1_gJGyWwpVSMzF3ttS4Yq8z_MJIsSA/s400/DSC_3109.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQoAaef6xnhOewnVGWaay13roVMbm3BVJx6mc3EpqkL44O7OnQ76vlxkqDQR2T9xHhySfjM5T6B4J8ylPDNkO9knmYxIC6ertUv1X_APfVzfssjjc53Q5ITY3L8g_8SwpvCGi1b8G4psU/s1600/DSC_3106.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 248px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716111870883718194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQoAaef6xnhOewnVGWaay13roVMbm3BVJx6mc3EpqkL44O7OnQ76vlxkqDQR2T9xHhySfjM5T6B4J8ylPDNkO9knmYxIC6ertUv1X_APfVzfssjjc53Q5ITY3L8g_8SwpvCGi1b8G4psU/s400/DSC_3106.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGMjHC16e6fig41RazgOypa-OtmaqQlMZp_4cdznyTBMdcq-DcrPaTacDvwVpvovDwXLO853q4f-5q_B3lTf0yelSjknNBmAw9U308IA9nTPCcIC0LId0M-e4bo_9_1Q0DXmpH_DVAbU/s1600/DSC_3103.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 251px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716111649552717954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGMjHC16e6fig41RazgOypa-OtmaqQlMZp_4cdznyTBMdcq-DcrPaTacDvwVpvovDwXLO853q4f-5q_B3lTf0yelSjknNBmAw9U308IA9nTPCcIC0LId0M-e4bo_9_1Q0DXmpH_DVAbU/s400/DSC_3103.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWmTKKPhX_pnJyrUhsdKANT-5JioctRTa7KKJA8Y9U1af-kceYLcBM4ahwGP63qyEZEmwP6ErwBexMRRusGNx3TAno-H0Bg015hkwg6Ez63NNBQBTcrX8tdzjya4ohphmjnudNjxAuRA/s1600/DSC_3102.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 259px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716111637484395794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWmTKKPhX_pnJyrUhsdKANT-5JioctRTa7KKJA8Y9U1af-kceYLcBM4ahwGP63qyEZEmwP6ErwBexMRRusGNx3TAno-H0Bg015hkwg6Ez63NNBQBTcrX8tdzjya4ohphmjnudNjxAuRA/s400/DSC_3102.JPG" /></a> Henry and his favorite accesories, his boots.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi145tw9cncvTiFXQ5UGd8UT-mPcyYcpwdNlm7kBzC1Rt0jH860H7pMDy0pfFjvlGMSRLG5KPOXy029bumxJpPHVvjbCbqaT8N-dQOmf6JofkfMkGsm8efNdKAu28zkxpX-LBFWwrKRuw8/s1600/DSC_3091.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 254px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716111630442511522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi145tw9cncvTiFXQ5UGd8UT-mPcyYcpwdNlm7kBzC1Rt0jH860H7pMDy0pfFjvlGMSRLG5KPOXy029bumxJpPHVvjbCbqaT8N-dQOmf6JofkfMkGsm8efNdKAu28zkxpX-LBFWwrKRuw8/s400/DSC_3091.JPG" /></a><br />Levi is teething like crazy right now, chews on everything he can.
