Aquarium Fun!

We enjoyed going to the Georgia aquarium this weekend! We were invited to come and celebrate with some friends (check out post below). We got there when they first opened and walked the aquarium before the party. Henry was really mesmerized with the whole experience. Kit enjoyed "petting" the baby sharks and sting-rays.

Well, it was one crazy weekend. You know, the kind where all you do is come home, regroup and head back out again? Yeah, my house is a mess. And right now I hear Henry "playing" in his crib instead of napping. He is making his monkey sounds and shouting ut-oh!

Happy Monday!

:)

Lincoln & Coralyne's Birthday Party

After touring the aquarium, we went upstairs to celebrate Lincoln's 3rd and Coralyne's 1st birthday! We enjoyed some behind the scenes tours and a visit from the aquarium's mascot! The cakes were adorable and it is was such a fun afternoon with friends. We all left the aquarium tired and Henry didn't even wait until we were out of the parking garage to fall asleep...he was so tired! Looking above the tropical dive exhibit
These are the "waves" for the exhibit

Day Trip South

Handsome Henry all ready to go!
Warming up to Miss Betty and checking out the birds in the cage.

I wish I would have looked at my batteries before we left this morning. They were practically dead so I only got in a few shots. We went south today and visited Miss Betty. Henry did so well and was a very smiley guy at pretty much everyone. He even let alot of the other residents hold him. He walked around like he owned the place and he practically did...taking a baby into a rehab facility...he could have anything he wanted. Who doesn't love visitors?? He had smiles and kisses for Miss Betty. It is always nice to brighten someone elses day!

BiG BoY HaIrCuT

This afternoon we took Henry to a SuperCuts down the road to get his 2nd haircut. We had to laugh as Henry did 100% better this time in an "adult" salon than he did at geared for kids CookieCutters! He sat in the chair all by himself and enjoyed watching the old lady next to him get her hair styled. I think it had alot to do with it being a quieter atmosphere and no other kids crying in the salon. He loved watching the hairstylist cut his hair in the mirror and giggled with delight when she got out the trimmers to shave his neck and around his ears. We are starting to see what a sweet, laid back personality Henry has (most of the time!) especially around others and out in public. It used to almost make him nervous and anxious when out in public but he seems to be outgrowing that and will smile and "talk" to strangers now.

After the haircut we went to a local park and enjoyed our near 70 and sunny day! We've all had a head cold this weekend but enjoyed getting some fresh air. Henry LOVED the swings but I think he might have loved going down the slides even more! I wish I would have thought to grab the camera...he was all smiles from ear to ear!

Wecipe For Wednesday!

We LOVE this recipe that we received in a church cookbook from my sister. This is a favorite for Kit and thought I would share!

Aaron's Favorite Stromboli
1 loaf bread dough
1/2c butter, softened
2 tsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp chives, chopped
1/2 tsp oregano
2 T Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 lb shaved ham
15 pepperoni slices
5 mozzarella slices

Roll dough into rectangle approx 1/4 inch thick. Mix butter, parsley, chives, oregano, Parmesan & garlic. Spread on dough, reserving some for topping. Layer on ham and pepperoni laying slices of mozzarella on top. Roll dough up like a jelly roll and pinch ends closed. Brush remaining butter mixture across the top. Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 for 30 minutes. Slice & serve.

Note: Bread machine dough works great for this recipe.

14 months!!

We sure do love our happy little H!!

Where there's a will, there's a way

We are all big fans of the small ice cubes (like The Igloo back home has) and for us, it's only available at one spot...the Truett's Chic-fil-a. Well, I guess I have made Henry a BIG fan because he seemed to turn part raccoon this afternoon in order to get it!

What does a kumquat have to do with it?

Well, according to babycenter.com, that's the size baby #2 is this week!! That's right, we are expecting !

I am 10 weeks along and here is our latest ultrasound of Baby #2 taken at 9 weeks 6 days.

Which means, Henry is going to be a...

BIG BROTHER!!

Snow! Snow!!

Quick Morning Update...

... I got up early to put in a breakfast casserole that I am taking this morning to MOPS so thought I would take a minute to put an update on here before H wakes up...

We had such a nice weekend! We enjoyed eating at the Varsity (and running into people we knew!) and a LONG afternoon at IKEA. Henry did such a GREAT job and kept himself entertained by people watching and pointing out all the babies! :) We saw so many options for Henry's playroom and walked away with a better idea of storage to use, so we considered it a successful trip!

Sunday we finally made it back to church. We had missed a couple weeks with Henry's cold so it is always great to get back! Henry wore his Colts jersey (thanks to A. Lindsay & U. Troy) to church in the morning. The weather was so nice we spent the afternoon outside in the back yard (to which Henry was obsessed with the cabinet doors on the grill the ENTIRE time...oh, and the dog bowl!) and finally came inside at the start of the superbowl.

A little work, alot of play....

...is how we are keeping busy on such a rainy, dreary day...

Ouch!, Thanks to Cousin Clint, Teeth & a walking clip

I have tried to avoid putting any pictures of H up recently but it'll be a while before his "scratch" goes away... On Saturday Henry was walking between Kit and I and when he was a step or two away from me and he went to fall... I tried to grab him with my left hand to stop his fall but instead, my thumbnail scraped his forehead! YIKES! Henry didn't even cry...

A HUGE shout out to cousin Clint for Henry's cellphone. This toy was given to him LAST Christmas and this is the only toy we consistently find ourselves changing the batteries :)

Here is the smiley guy showing off his teeth (while finishing up his snack of teddy grahams)
