Birthday!

Henry just had a birthday. The big 0-2.

We had a little party. Here you can see (clockwise from bottom left) Jack, Chloe, Logan, Peter, Siri, and Henry's hand. The big guy is Bjorn.

Another shot, with Jeremy talking to Logan, and Kristina helping Siri. A cameo from Grandma Sara.

It seems the dads were left in charge. There you can see Lilly and her dad, another Jeremy.
Auntie Bookers came all the way from Boston!
Apparently, Henry just said something hilarious.

Siri models a hat.

Here's Henry checking out a Birthday card, with help from a friendly bear..

Bonus pumpkin movie

Pumpkin Henry

For Halloween, Henry borrowed a costume made by Emily's cousin Amy. As you can see, Amy's quite the seamstress.
Henry shared it with his friend Siri.

Henry was actually sick for the big day, and so couldn't participate in Halloween activities. As you can see, he's excited for next year.

More pics from Seattle

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Washington state.

We started off with a Costco raid

Here the cousins model some nice MTSU shirts
This ended in sadness

I'm not sure why this is in black and white...
We took a ferry ride to the island, and there was some horsing around

Jacob won't pose for pictures, so you have to sneak up on him unaware
A happy grandmother:

A Mighty Struggle

Henry enjoys Jacob kung fu.

Over the top

Henry learned this trick from his cousins. We hope he won't try it at home, at least for a while.

Hugging Cousins

Henry recently returned from a vacation in Washington state with his cousins, aunt and uncle, and grandma. The cousins had a big time together:

These pictures require no explanation.

Henry Duets

We have a backlog of pictures, now that we have a working camera.

Here's one from a recent shopping trip. Henry and Emily were at a homegoods store called Home Goods. Henry was trying out a chair, and a new friend decided to join him.
In Boston, Henry and Emily got together with Susan, a college roommate of Emily's, and her daughter Oona.
Here, Henry and Matthew check out the awesome playground across the street from Taunte Bookers.

Henry in the Hood

Emily got these great pictures of Henry at a neighborhood cafe, Ebeneezer's coffee house.


These are from his daily haunt, the playground.

Henry in Beantown

Henry went with his parents to Boston to rendezvous with Aunties Melissa and Amy, and to see Taunte Bookers. Flying there was not bad, but the walking Henry is a little less docile on planes than in his younger days.


Henry got to hang out with two dogs--Chase , who lives with Bookers, and Tegan, who lives with Amy & Melissa.The combination of toddler and dogs meant taking advantage of Boston's many outdoor cafes.
Boston has ketchup.
All in all, a very fun trip.

Ice Cream with Lily

Our friends Nancy and Jeremy came over a few weeks ago with their daughter Lily, whose just a little older than Henry.

Although pulled pork was on the menu, the biggest hit were the Klondike bars. Lily's a good sharer.

Dunne Grandparents visit

Michael and Sara came for a great visit to see the walking wonder and the new house. Sara took all these great pictures, but unfortunately doesn't appear in any of them.



Everyone with the last name Dunne went to the zoo. Henry seemed most impressed by the elephants.

The adults were also impressed by this.

Here's Henry watching Sesame Street.Here are Henry and Michael watching the adult equivalent, the Yankees.
Sara got some nice backyard pics.


A parting shot of the happy family.

Growin' like a weed

Henry doesn't stop growing and changing, even when it seems we're too busy to post. Here are a couple of recent shots. Where's our baby? Who's this little boy?
