Three years ago this weekend we posted
this after I (Derek) had completed my first marathon. That marked the second post of this blog. A lot has changed since then, what with the birth/raising of child number 1. Now here we are again with a baby on the way (due date is one day off from Henry's due date).
This weekend I did not run the marathon. However, we did go cheer for some friends that were running (both the full and half). Here you can see Tina and Henry poised for cheering (note the orange cowbell in the grass).
Saturday night we had a nice family night out on the town. After a dinner at home we headed out for some ice cream by the lake. Henry was in heaven. Ice cream + watching boats = loads of fun.
No weekend (or weekday for that matter) would be complete without a bike ride. Now some of you may remember that Henry
can ride his bike without training wheels. This doesn't mean he
wants to at this point. I (dad) have had to practice restraint in not pushing him to do something even though I know he is perfectly capable.
A picture of Henry playing with his
Automoblox (I/we are in no way getting paid to advertise for these toys but honestly, they are awesome).
Meditating.
And finally, an interesting sidenote. This weekend we had the vehicle pictured below parked outside of our house.
You can read all about them
here. Now, I'm the last person who'd be against promoting 'permaculture' and ways to be more sustainable. However, I'm not sure I agree with their Slogan 'cause it seems to me their skills are really from a previous millennium. Anyway, it's an interesting group of folks to watch and talk to.

what in the... Henry looks BIG. as in, this is my Big Boy haircut and these are my Big Boy shoes. cute. big. soooo need some Henry time.
I have to agree with Kim. I thought the same thing! And Tina, bless your heart. Henry may have been in heaven with the ice cream and boat watching, but you look like you're a tad uncomfortable. Won't be much longer! Can't wait to see you guys in July!
Yes Henry's haircut makes him look so much older. Megan you are correct in the fact that I was uncomfortable. It has been very hot here and I have not been too happy to be outside much.
Enjoyed these pictures so much. I too agree that Henry is so grown up! Love the pictures from Sunday of the bike ride too. Wow, after looking so grown up, he certainly looks small out there on the road, I get choked up!!!
