Announcement

We're knocked up. Tune in around April 22, 2010, for more details.

That is all.

Hanging out with my cousins

Since the last time I updated, Henry's had lots of quality time with some of his cousins. In August we visited family in Maryland and New Jersey.

Zoey, Will, and Henry enjoyed playing cars with Pop Pop.

We got them to sit still (almost) for a group portrait.

The next day, everybody hung out at the beach in Atlantic City.

Sandy juice is apparently quite delicious!

Henry LOVED the beach!

Little waves!

Last weekend we had a visit from Grandmom, Pop Pop, and Cousin Zoey. Henry and Zoey dressed up for HallZOOeen at the Cincinnati Zoo. Zoey loved her ladybug costume. Henry eventually figured out that it was futile to try to get his off.

We had a great time, and ate lots of junk food!

Henry's been a busy big boy.

Here he is showing off his new "boy bed!"

Notice the "Bumbob" sheets--all part of the bribery.

The boys love their Guitar Hero.

"Rock, Daddy!"

"You rock!"

And here is photographic proof that our son does, indeed, eat turnips.

In other news, Dennis and I are waist-deep into our Couch-to-5K training. We just finished Week 4 (of 9)! We're planning to run the Constitution 5K on September 20th. Well, maybe hoping is a better word. If anyone wants to visit that weekend, you can hang out at the Constitution Square Arts Fest, then fight over who gets to babysit during the race.

No lollygagging today.

Henry does enjoy a good swing--just not necessarily in the primary way intended.

Sliding is still fun, too!

The garden is off to a good, albeit slightly tardy, start!

One can never have too much Thomas...

...especially if one's name is Henry!

Outside!

So if you've been wondering what we (and by we, I mean, mainly Henry) have been up to, it's "Outside!" Every evening when I walk up the stairs, Henry is waiting for me at the top, saying, "Outside, Mommy! Outside!" Then he grabs my hand and tries to drag me to the back door. He loves to do anything and everything, as long as it's outside. For example:

Helping tumble Mommy's compost bin.

Gipper enjoys "Outside!" too, just not as actively.

Watering the yard.

Check out my awesome new slide! Thanks, Mere and Doodah!

The inaugural run.

I've got this landing thing down!

Can you feel the fun?

Check out my sweet bike trailer!

Hmm, not sure they know how to ride those things yet...good thing I've got my Thomas helmet.

Whew! I survived!

Now I'll show them how it's done, and looking good while doing it.

Happy Easter!

Henry may not like the Easter Bunny, but he sure does like the stuff he brought!

Wishing you a blessed Easter season!
