It's been a long time...

But here we are again.

Cole turned 3 years old on February 16th! Here he is celebrating:


I can't believe how big he is and how smart he is. He's so much fun to have around! Just the other day, he told me, " Mommy, You look very nice." I replied, "Thank you." He then said, "You look very cute." To which I also replied, "Thank you." He then sneezed into his hand and looked up and said, "Mommy. Look at all my germs." He loves dinosaurs and tractors and Thomas the Train and Toy Story and tractors and Finding Nemo and tractors. Did I mention he loves tractors? He also recently looked out the window and said, "Look! A squirrel." (which he pronounces "swirl") Then he watched it for a while and looked back at us and said, "He is very cute.", with a big smile on his face. (That one's for Uncle Clint, who is constantly at open war with the squirrel population in Nappanee.)

Henry is growing so fast. He is a very happy baby. He loves his Daddy and always has a huge smile for him. He's sitting up on his own now. He's very laid back and has the ability to sleep anywhere. Including in the middle of a birthday party full of three year olds. He's holding his bottle on his own now and eating all sorts of baby food.


We're excited for spring and summer to get here. We plan on a lot of bike rides, walks, zoo outings and camping trips.

The boys get a long great (so far). Let's hope they stay that way the older they get. :-)

Happy Birthday Crystal!

Crystal's 31st Birthday was last week. Cole really happens to be into birthdays right now, so we made a big deal out of it (for both Cole's and Crystal's benefit.)

Here's a photo of all of us wearing party hats.

Henry also ended up getting really excited. Here's a video of him getting in on the birthday action: (As always, in order to see the full video click on it to watch it on youtube, rather than directly on the blog. Not sure why that is.)


Stay classy, blog readers!
