Henry quotes (no pictures)

I wish I wrote down all the things Henry says these days but I'm not that organized. Here are a few from tonight.

After his bath with a toy polar bear. " ARGH!!!..(pauses) I don't know what a polar bear says."

Then about 2 seconds later. "Daddy your eyes are ovals AND circles."

I don't follow the thought processes of a two year old but they can be quite interesting and random.

Fall Photo Shoot

We spent a lot of time outside this weekend enjoying our last chance to soak in warm weather. One day we did some hiking and playing at a nearby state park. Derek began snapping tons of shots so here are just a few.

Belated Halloween post

Sorry for the delay. I was going to post earlier but kept forgetting. Here is our Bob the Builder/Construction worker getting ready for trick or treating. He's already decided that he wants to be a fire fighter next year. We'll see. It's a bit of a long way off.

Jump.

Henry learned to jump a few months ago. He now jumps all the time.

Look at that AIR!

Henrycross

This fall I (Derek) have dabbled in something called cyclocross. As the link describes, participants ride their bikes ...
and jump off and carry their bikes over barriers before hopping on and riding more.
It's a lot of fun and painfully difficult. Henry has been able to watch me race twice and he seems to get a kick out of it. Recently he's taken to riding his bike off the sidewalk telling us that he's doing cyclocross.

Here's a little video clip. Enjoy.

Finally a little video.

Tina already posted about our weekend in Indiana. Well I finally got around to going through the video footage and putting a little something together. So here it is:

Also, Henry's really taken to playing with power tools (actual toys mother, not real power tools). So here's a little sample of what's been going on around the house lately:

Busy weekends

Last weekend we braved the first snow of the season (no accumulation) to go apple picking and also buy some pumpkins. Also, Henry went on the hayride again and enjoyed in even in the very cold weather.

A few weekends ago we travelled to Indiana for my 10 year college reunion. We visited many friends and some family while there. If only we could spend more time with all of them since a weekend seemed very short.
Henry and 2nd cousin Sam being monkeys in the tree. Henry still mentions Sam sometimes as the big girl. Thanks to Angie, Dan, Sam and Jolee for a short but wonderful visit.

Henry and Noah enjoying Jon's rousing bedtime story. Henry had a wonderful time with Noah. We have many pictures that are blurry since there wasn't much sitting still for either of them.

Eliza (and parents) came over to the Yoder Schrock's for a while too. We also were finally able to meet adorable baby Anna, who is such a sweetheart and very mellow. Mandy and Jon, thanks for hosting us and sharing your home on a cold, rainy weekend!
