Catching up with the girls - Week 43



Aunt Allison and Aunt Jen - Thanks for all you do for Henry! We couldn't survive without you!

On Friday night, we all went over to a neighbor's house for dinner and drinks. There were 8 people over, but one girl, Austin, couldn't get enough of Henry. She took him over to a pile of sticks and they would just beat the sticks against the deck, which Henry loved (he may become a drummer if we don't watch it)! Luckily, we found out that our baby monitor stretches the two lots between our houses, but just barely. So, we were able to put Henry down for bed, and still continue to hang out on their deck! Great night, right up until Cory went to refill the lantern fuel gel, and flames shot out like we were watching Back to the Future! These set Jill, the homeowner, on fire, as well as her new deck. Luckily we were able to put it out before any real damage or burns were caused.

On Saturday, we went up to St. Joseph to Laura's friend Ashley Albers' (Week 41 pic) home to visit, and to see her baby Kyra, who has been declared as Henry's infant girlfriend. Kyra is two days younger than Henry, but you wouldn't know it by looking at them since Henry is so small! I keep telling him he needs to eat more because a woman does not like to date guys skinnier than them! Ashley and Scott have a backyard pool, so we all sat around the pool and played with the kids. Great day, and great time (though I could have done with a little less John Secada music!).

I think that this is what the kids call "motorboating"



Two peas in a pod!

 On Sunday, adult girlfriend Emily came over for dinner and ice cream. Emily did most of the caretaking throughout the night, providing her signature 'bounce' that Henry likes. It is amazing, Emily comes over, and we don't have to worry about Henry for the whole time she is over!
