Favorite activities

Our summer is almost over! I can't believe that school (or shall I say 3 year old "big girl" preschool) starts next week plus Henry's first mom and me gym class and Anna's first ballet/tap class. We will start our busy fall schedule.

We have really enjoyed our summer. Anna and Henry really play well together now, and I think that Henry will miss Anna when she is at school. Some of their favorite activities are reading books, "cooking" in the kitchen, playing cars, and fighting over toys...yes, it has already started. Henry definitely lets his feelings be known if Anna takes something he has, and he is quite LOUD about it. Here is a video of their very favorite activity: Henry pushing Anna in the big red car



We also enjoyed a visit from Aunt Tina and Uncle David the other day since they are visiting from Vancouver to adopt beautiful baby Faye. Here are some of our recent pics from the last few weeks.




Toot, toot, chugga, chugga, big red car....

Birthday, visitors and weekend in Dallas

I had a wonderful birthday with the family! We had a lot of fun celebrating this year...Anna is so into birthdays! Chad and I were able to have a nice dinner out as well. On Thursday, my sister Laura and her friend, Jackie, came in town to visit on their way to a wedding in Memphis. It was so much fun visiting with the two of them. Anna especially loved all of the attention from crazy Aunt Laura. Saturday morning we went to Dallas for a wonderful overnight getaway. It was for our friend's surprise birthday dinner that was so much fun. We had fabulous food, wine and conversation. We also did a little shopping. All in all, it was so much fun to get away and have a little adult time! What a fun birthday week!

Henry's 9 month checkup

Henry had his 9 month checkup on Friday, August 1. He weighed 22 lbs 6 ounces. No wonder he feels so heavy! He is also 29 and 3/4 inches tall which is the 90th percentile. He is so much fun! He has started saying ma ma ma and da da da...we think he is so smart! Anna and Henry love playing together. They read books, dance and play the maracas! Henry also had a haircut at the salon last week. His bangs were in need of a trim, and we had taken Anna for her haircut. They both looked so cute. Picture before the haircut! After the haircuts! Anna had quite a bit cut off!
