Henry, nearing two years old

Henry has a few favorite saying lately:

"I know an idea.  I have an idea!"

"Toss ball with me, Mommy?"

"There's Gregory's house!" (Every time we drive downt the street)  This one is particularly cute because when they see each other, neither boy actually speaks.  They do seem to get excited by the prospect of playing nearby though.

Mother-Daughter Time

On Sunday, Evelyn and I used Henry's nap as we usually do.  We did arts and crafts.  This time, Evelyn really wanted to make an aquarium.  So, here it is.  She also made some sea creatures and named most of them "Evelyn."  One is "Henry."

Sweet Henry

Tonight, Henry was wide awake well past the time Mommy and Daddy would like to see him in bed.  I was growing frustrated and Henry could tell.  He asked me "Wrong, Mommy?" and I told him I was frustrated.  I asked if he was tired and he told me "play blocks, Mommy.  Want to play blocks with me?"  How could I say no?  Once we began to build, Henry asked "Feelin' better, Mommy?"  My heart just melted.  He gave me a gentle pat and kept asking if I was feeling better yet.  It was so sweet. 

A Very Happy Mother's Day

I've been wanting to take the ferry ride over to Bainbridge Island for a while and today, for Mother's Day, we went!  The kiddos were both great!  They loved the ferry and did great even when we needed to wait to board.  Evelyn and I had a ladies' lunch while Henry napped and Chris read a book in the car and then we all walked around the cute main street and got ice cream/ sorbet.  It was sunny and warm today, so the breeze and salt water air were especially nice.

Skyline.

Look!  We're moving.

Windy!

Waiting in line for ice cream at Mora's!

Worth it, yum!
