Happy 1st Birthday Henry

It was 2:30pm last year today when we were looking at this scrunchy little face after he came into the world. Can't believe how fast the time goes.









Here are pics from the party:

Luke was a little obsessed with killing the already dead pinata

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a local pumpkin patch with the boys and Grandma Kathy. There was a 20 acre corn maze, barn animals, hay slide, corn (sand) boxes, and pumpkins. We had a lot of fun. It was Luke's first time in a corn maze. When we'd get to a dead-end he'd say "where are we?!"

Bear Hat

My first crocheted project for fall---a bear hat for Henry. I think it turned out so cute!

Here's recent pics with some captions. Luke is no longer in diapers, these pics are a bit older, so no freak outs please!

first grocery trip with Henry in the cart-seat with Luke; costco is the only store I know of that has 2 spots in their carts; I always knew we'd fill it up someday; Henry left his pants at home.
