First Family Easter - Week 36

Susan Heck and Henry
This week brought back Grandpa and Grandma Bogart, who came up again before grandpa had double knee replacement surgery on Tuesday. Reggie and Rick went to the Royals game on Thursday night, while Laura got together with her friend Mary and subjected Henry to Bravo television shows all night :)

Reggie and Laura were both off on Friday, so while Grandpa Rick watched Henry, they went off and met with their State Farm representative about life insurance, and finalized their wills. We definitely are adults now! Luckily, Henry was great for his grandpa, who loved spending the 'guy time' with him.

On Saturday, Laura's friend Rebecca came over to the house with her son, Lawson, after we got back from swim/splash lessons. Rebecca actually owns an Easter Bunny costume, so she dressed up and took pictures with Henry. April and Dave Sifford brought Jack over as well for a few pictures. It was great to be able to get these pictures at the house, and not have to take Henry out to the mall, where we would have to wait in a long line to get a picture with an Easter Bunny that smells of cheese and Marlboros :)

Saturday was also Reggie's 32nd birthday. However, he must have gotten something bad at the game on Thursday, because he was on the couch all afternoon and night! No more Royals BBQ for him! However, in what was the best gift possible, Henry actually slept on Reggie's chest (a first) in the afternoon while Laura ran errands. After an hour nap, he woke up and just stared at Reggie and offered him his pacifier :) It was absolutely awesome!

On Sunday, we headed off to Henry's first Easter service, where he played on the floor in the back half the time with a couple of toys we brought. Laura's co-worker (and Henry ex) Emily came with us and did brunch afterwards. She actually brought Henry an Easter basket, filled with some ducks and a fire truck! He's not too into the fire truck yet, but LOVES the ducks!  Afterward, Henry made the decision to drop Sara, and make Emily his #1 girlfriend! It was a situation that had been brewing for a few weeks. The cold part about that is that Sara has to learn about it from reading this blog!

The new girlfriend!!!
I love to get presents!

They say Sunday is the day of rest. Henry takes that literally!
Developmentally, Henry is really being talkative, particularly in the morning. In fact, at daycare on Wednesday, he squeaked and babbled so much and so loud that another baby, Emma, started to cry! He is also starting to try to pull up, and even stood by himself with the assistance of a toy music table this week. I give us about 3-4 weeks before we are in real trouble and this kid is going all over the house!

Look at our great seats at church!
