Henry Turns 5



Henry was very excited for his birthday this year. He's been dying to be five years old! The morning of his birthday, we woke him up so that he could open his presents before Nathan went to work. Before he even opened up the first present, he exclaimed, "Oh yeah - I'm five now! I'm too big for my pillow!" He walked over to the trash can, tossed in his pillow, and that was it! No more pillow! He hasn't asked for it since. (For those who don't know, his "pillow" is his ratty old pillowcase that he's carried around with him since he was about 10 months old.) Good riddance!



Henry had a birthday party in the evening. He invited seven boys and they all came. We were supposed to have a "water" party with a slip & slide and water guns, but because of his stitches, we had to can the water idea and play some games instead. It was still fun and everyone had a good time.









Happy Birthday Henry!

What a cute boy. Okay, I checked your blog this morning from my house and the new ones didn't show up. Now I am at mom and dads and I see all your blogs!?! That is really weird.

It sounds like you are off to a busy summer. Are you guys going on a vacation this summer? Maybe to AZ? Baby Duncan would love to see you guys.(wink,wink)
