The finer things in life (Week 6)


Kyra tried to get fresh with with Henry, so I had to take him away! We are trying at an early age to teach him to play hard to get.
 
Week 6 was a big one for our little guy. We all went down to the Plaza Art Fair on Friday night on Saturday. On Friday, our friends Ashley and Scott Albers came down from St. Joe with their daughter Kyra to take in the festivities. It was essentially Henry and Kyra's third date. Kyra is two days younger than Henry, but about a pound ahead of him. Our boy needs to get to eating! Friday night we just ate dinner and had a few beers while we talked and listened to the bands. It was a great night, with perfect weather! As you can see from the above picture, it was a "pump and dump" kind of night for Laura and Ashley!

Eileen Knoblauch (pre-rain). Paul would have been in this picture, but he was playing air guitar to the Starship hits being played on stage. So, I had to stand in.
On Saturday afternoon, we went back down to the art fair with our friends and neighbors, the Knoblauch's, with their 6 month old boy Dolan. Though it wasn't supposed to rain until around 5pm, it started at about 2:30pm (George Waldenberger is a fraud :) ), so we spent about an hour of our time just hanging out in Eddie Bauer. We probably should have selected a store that we actually shop at! Anyways, it was a great time, and we eventually did get to see most of the art exibits before it started to rain yet again. See the pics for Henry's critiques of selected pieces.

Henry's take: "I like this art. It is sophiticated, and yet carefree all at the same time. The artists aesthetic is to be admired."


Henry's take: "What is this? I've seen better art in my dirty diapers! And why is it carrying a garden gnome?"

On Saturday morning, we all took Bella to Brookside for the annual "Strut Your Mutt." Bella made a lot of new friends, or at least sniffed a lot of tail. It was a great morning to get out and walk! Henry is not pictured, but he slept through the whole thing.
On Sunday, the Seagers came over with their kids for dinner and to meet Henry (see Week 6 pic above). Their little girl Phoebe was very excited to see Henry and Bella, who she chased around the house/yard all afternoon. It was fun to watch their 1yr. old Griffin, and think that this is how Henry will be this time next year. I'm sure Bella is thinking the same thing. During dinner, she just set up camp under Griffin's chair to get whatever table scraps fell to the floor!

We also received the link to the pictures taken for Henry's newborn shoot. If you would like to check them out, the link is:
