Towers

One of Henry's most favorite activities is building towers. And he is getting pretty good! Here you will see his handy work complete with the victory dance that accompanies a particularly tall tower.

Thomas saves the day

A couple of weeks ago, we took Henry to a live Thomas the Train show and what an experience that was - so much to take in; he was definitely on sensory overload. But why does there have to be drama in a live train show? Sure enough, right before intermission (another must??), a train got stuck in a mine. This did not make Henry happy and tightened the grip around my neck. And yes - SPOILER ALERT - Thomas does save the day and all is well in the end.

Visit with Keisha

The week before Easter, we got to visit with Keisha, Henry's nanny. It was so good to see her and Henry definitely recognized her. She was in town for a play that she wrote, directed and starred in for Easter at her old church.

He is Risen!

Easter was a warm Spring day in Texas and we enjoyed a great weekend, complete with an Easter Egg hunt on Saturday and hosting the Niekirk's for dinner on Sunday. Henry was too excited to see a Cozy Coupe on the soccer field to pay much attention to the egg hunt, but still enjoyed it.

The best was that the Easter Bunny brought a lot of match box cars. The loot in the basket was probably a bit much, but a good time was had by all!

Visit with the Mosers

In April, Henry and I went to visit friends from St Louis - the Mosers - who were in San Antonio visiting Amy's sister. She and her 5 kids flew to TX for a week getaway and we were lucky enough to see them for a day. We all ventured out for a ride on the river walk and Henry definitely liked playing with all of the kids.

You can't get six kids to pose well together, but here was the best attempt. From left: Abby, Byron, Henry, Clara, Sophie and Bess (in stroller).
