We've been too busy...

...playing outside so we haven't had time to blog. It has been so nice lately and it's very hard/impossible to get Henry back inside sometime so we've been doing yard work, taking walks, visiting playgrounds, etc. However, I finally have some time to do an update.

The first picture is from about a month ago but he is on the blue chair from the weekly pictures from last year so here is mid April 2009:
Here is mid April 2008 (orange shirts are a coincidence):

Friday Henry and Levi woke up from their naps early so I was trying to find something new to do outside. We tried to play red light/green light. They had a blast even though they didn't really understand the point of the game or how to play. More or less they would line up and then run when I said green light and they would stop when they ran into me and I would say red light. It worked...sort of. Derek came home from work and immediately ran inside get his camera and get some great action shots.





Henry fell in love with the way-too-big orange sweatshirt and had to wear it the next day inside and with the hood up.


Follow up from last post: Henry is now able to tolerate some dairy and we're wondering if it was just a short phase he was going through after have a bit of a flu bug--who knows. Zoe ended up having another ear surgery on the same ear. It was healing fine but closed too quick so it filled right back up again. She had the second surgery over a week ago and thankfully it seems to have worked this time and we only had to pay for medication the second time (and not another complete surgery including anesthesia)! She should get her stitches out this week which means we can finally get rid of the E-collar.

Good Gravy! Henry's really looking more and more like a little boy rather than a baby, especially in the contrast between this year and last. His face, his expression. Fun post!

Love these pictures...especially love the fun looks on the faces as they begin the 'run' and throughout. They are so much the same size, it's so fun.
