Henry's Blessing Day

Yesterday, we blessed Henry at church. We had lots of family come and then a little lunch at our place afterwards. In the evening, we had some friends over too. It was a nice day, and I think Shane is just relieved its over. He did a great job, it was a very sweet blessing.

Henry, 3 months old

I'm a big boy now!

Memorial Day

We decided to go down to the zoo on Memorial Day, even though it was pouring rain. By the time we got there, the rain had stopped, and by the time we left, the sun was shining! Best part, while we were there, they blew a transformer, so there was no power. We got free tickets to come back again another day. What a deal.

My favorite people.

Brave Emma.

Henry slept most of the day in his stroller, or in the pouch. He seemed to enjoy the zoo. :)

Emma took this picture while we were waiting for the ferry to Vashon. I slipped in the back to feed Henry for a while before we loaded the ferry.

Henry B at 2 months

Yesterday at his appointment he was off the charts. :)

14 lbs 6 oz

25.5 inches

(The nurse measured him twice because she couldn't believe that he was that tall)

I can't stop staring at his cute little face. His eyes are just like Shane. I feel like I'm falling in love all over again. He's also sleeping through the night with only one feeding. He's asleep by 9:30ish and sleeps til about 7:00 with only one wake-up.

Preschool Fun

Today Emma's preschool had a field trip out to Alki beach. One of the dad's is a diver, and he brought up lots of cool crabs, sea stars and other creatures for the kids to see. Emma spent the morning playing in the water with her friends.

These are Emma's two best buddies from preschool. She's going to miss them both next year.

And, for Mother's Day, the kids had a little "tea" for us. They made all the moms fruit salad, and sang us songs. I love my sweet little girl.

Henry this week

"Somebody HELP ME"

Pete & Becca loaned us a bumbo, and we thought we'd try it out. Obviously, Henry needs to be quite a bit bigger to use it, but I thought this was hilarious. He looks so stressed, poor little guy.

And finally some videos of my little man. He is mad in one, and fairly happy in the other two. He is doing genuine grins and smiles now which is so fun, and I caught a couple on video. Enjoy.

PS...as you can see, Emma is doing a great job of being a good big sister. Nothing like pokes and smacks to get a kid grinning. :)

Sleepy & Mad


Happy

With Emma too.

Summer on the farm!

We just joined the Jubilee Farms Coop for this summer.

Starting mid-June we'll get a box of fresh fruits/vegetables once a week. We get to go to the farm to pick it up. They harvest everything in the morning, and then you pick it up just a couple hours later...SO FRESH! Can't wait. Hopefully we'll start eating much better. I figured my little gardening attempts on our back patio weren't cutting it. So this is now like I've planted a whole farm in my back yard. I can't wait.

Also, they have extra U-Pick items each week, so when we go pick up the food, we can wander around the farm and pick some of our own items. What a fun way to spend a Saturday morning. Can't wait. :)
