Feel Em Up!

We are coming up on October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) and if you haven't been feeling your boobies, START!

Back to Work....Missing the Boys

I think the title says it all...

Jude Henry 2 mos.

It's hard to believe that our little 3 year old was ever that small!
Finn William 3 mos.

Back To The Real World

We went to the beach recently and have returned well rested (kind of) and ready to begin another school year. Finn will be heading off to nursery school, Jude will be heading off to Grandma Carol's, Brad's going to be getting ready for his 100 mile bike ride to benefit AIDS/HIV and I will be starting my new position at school. PHEW! I am already exhausted and ready for another VACATION!!

Well...It's About Time!

~Jude Henry has arrived~

Yes, that's right...Jude is here. He was born on June 2, 2009 and came into this world weighing 9 pounds 1 ounce. We are all doing well.

Finn is a great BIG BROTHER! He is loves to give kisses and is always looking out for his little brother.

Thank you for all of your well wishes...please stay tuned for pictures.

Believe it or not...

...we are still pregnant! The plan is to be induced tomorrow (Monday) at 6 PM. Keep us in your thoughts and stay tuned for pictures of our newest member.

Yes...Yes We Are Slacking!

I cannot believe it's been this long since our last posting. Well, I guess considering the state of affairs I can believe it. Things have been crazy around here...

You can see our little one is still cooking and as of today we have just about 6 weeks to go. I am predicting we will meet our little UFC Champion (at least that's what he feels like in utero) a bit earlier than expected.

Finn has been moved into his big boy room and out of the nursery. Many thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for assisting with the painting...the stripes really came out just as I wanted. Pictures will be posted as soon as we get on line at home again...stay tuned.

Easter sure was a lot of fun....again, pictures to come. Finn was more interested in seeing if the Easter Bunny enjoyed the delicious carrot and lettuce we left out for him than he was looking for his Easter Basket. I think next year, it may be a bit different!

That's all for now~hope all well with everyone!

Are We Slacking?

Wow, I cannot believe how long it has been since I have last posted. My how time flies....

Let's see what has been going on around here? Well, Finn has been thoroughly enjoying our outings at the YMCA. He has turned into quite the little Michael Phelps (without the bong). He is jumping in and really trying to learn to swim all by himself. No fear...except for when Mama looks over to see him walking right into the pool without any noodle or parental guidance. Oh BOY!

That leads me to the next big thing...some of you may have heard already, we are expecting another boy :) We are cooking along and growing rapidly. Finn is really excited at the idea of taking care of his baby brother. He says he's going to read to him and change his diapers! When asked where his baby brother is...he says "he's still cooking in mama's belly".

That's where we are at now...will try to keep up with my posts.

~Fond Memories~

I have fond memories of listening to Marlo Thomas' Free to be You and Me with my cousin Jennifer. Recently, I received one of the greatest gifts-the Free to be You and Me book! Thank you so much Jen for thinking of us. Now, Finn and I can read the stories and I can think back to when you and I would head up to your room with the orange shag rug and listen to the mini record on your pink record player. How FUN!!!

~A Trip to the Museum~

On a recent trip to our museum, Aunt Heathie and I discovered quite a few things...

1. No matter where you are-a two year old thinks fish are pretty cool!

2. Music sounds the best when played on a grand scale.

3. Finn is the cutest neighbor on Sesame Street.

4. It's extremely difficult to catch a picture with a two year old's eyes open.

5. Finn makes the best pancakes in the world!

6. We sure did feel "royally" lucky to be spending such a good time with our little guy.

Most of all, he had so much fun seeing and experiencing all of the incredible things...and there's nothing better then that!
