1 Minute with Ellie

Ellie has been much happier lately and usually has a 4-6hour stetch sleeping at night.  She's even started to smile and "talk" to you.

Henry, when I was trying to show him something and he didn't want to be distracted "Daaad, you're breaking my mind!"

Baby Ellie 2 weeks

Eleanor Grace joined the family in January.  She is a sweet big girl—weighing in at 9 lbs 6 oz at birth.  She is a joy and much loved by her big brother and sister. Here’s some photos for all of you but particularly for auntie Sarah.  :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas Morning 2011 Video

Rough edits of our Christmas morning 2011, coming down the stairs and opening gifts from Grandmas and Grandpas.  Notice around minute 2 who finds the scissors first.  The bird sound in the background is from "Hedwig" a snowy owl from the Audobon society, apparantly they don't all say "Hoo, Hoo".  

Merry Christmas!!!

Halloween 2011

This was the best Trick-or-Treating our neighborhood has ever seen. The house are almost all built now and there are so many more kids!  Henry was Sensei Wu (from Lego Ninjago) and Lizzy was Snow White. Her "Tank you! Ha-P Hal-ween" was amazingly cute.

You can kind of hear her lines at the start of the Video.

They got TONS!! of candy so I carried Henry's big bag (which we filld by the end of the night) and he used his hat flipped upside down.  

Veterans Day 2011 Program at Henry's school.

Henry's School put on a Veterans Day program for active duty and veterans in the area. They had all the Veterans sit up on the stage and all 1200 kids from the school packed into the lunch room.  It was really sweet and made me feel proud to be a part of the military and proud of the school for teaching the kids to love their country.
