Rewind, Stop, Now Fast Forward

A long lost camp friend posted this picture on Facebook today. I miss those days. I still keep in touch with some of these girls (ex: Mandy, right behind me).

You might remember this post about Melissa (to right of me). We have so many pictures together, but most of those were waaaaay before this fancy, smancy digital stuff. So, I don't want to take the time to scan any of them in right now. Just trust me. There's some good ones.

Anyway... we are determined that our children will be great friends. And go to church camp together someday.

I Must Document EVERYTHING

H fell face-first onto one of his toy buckets yesterday while playing. It didn't seem to be that hard until about 10 minutes later we realized his eye was swelling up and turning dark colors.

This picture doesn't really do it justice. When he closes his eye it really shines.

Let The Chaos Begin

I ran out to get some coffee this morning before Lucas left for work and it was already nasty outside. The weather man on channel 9 called this storm "catastrophic". Really. Well, if that is true I'm definitely staying inside to watch movies and drink my coffee to try and survive.

Henson is doing his part by keeping watch of the latest weather changes. Then he reports back to me and I give him a puff. He's well trained.

Betrothed

These two are going to get married some day. It's just fate. Or forced marriage. But that's all the rage, right?

Just look at how perfect these two are together.

Already holding hands...

Henson teaching Violet how to use his toys...Vi listening intently and swooning...

...okay, maybe Henson scared Vi to death every time he opened his mouth with his shrieking sounds. He may have shattered my dream for him - literally. It kinda seems like the ways that guys try and get a girl's attention never changes...

(can I put any more ellipses in this post...?)

Just "TWO" Facts

I have no pictures for documentation, but the following indeed did happen.

Fact: Henson got his first TWO teeth last week. Nothing, then TWO at the same time. Good grief.

Fact: Henson took his first TWO steps last week. My word child. At least I know I will never have
trouble getting my exercise with him around.

Fact: I MAY have had TWO coffees in ONE day. Don't judge me. Read previous FACT.

"I'm A Pretty Big Deal Around Here"

Literally. Henson had his 9 month checkup & is still in the 93rd% for his height at 30 inches.

He is wearing 12-18 month clothing for length. He is actually getting thinner, though. No doubt because NEVER stops moving, even when he eats. He thinks he should have been walking two months ago. He actually is SO close to taking steps on his own. He has been known recently to be free standing in the middle of a room. Stinker. Slow down!
