Henderson's 1st Birthday!!!!

Oh What a day!

It was my very first birthday - and it's also on St. Patrick's Day! Mom had us all matching outfits. She was very excited about that. I think dad was not.

Granny and Grandpa came to visit me (and my brothers) this morning and brought PRESENTS!!!! They even watched us while mom and dad went out for lunch. It was very fun!

Then I had a birthday party at Pa-pa and Ga-ga's house. All my cousins were there, and there were many more presents!

Ga-ga made my birthday cake, a shamrock, of course! And, I even got my very own little cake. Mom put it on my tray, and we both blew out my candle. Then she said, "Go for it, big boy!" I have to admit, I was a little bewildered that mom would want me to dig in with my own two hands. Until now, she's always spoon fed me. Oh well - I went for it!!!! It was sweet and sticky and gooey and TASTY!!!!

I got so many toys and a lot of new spring clothes, but I wanted to play with the balloons from my party the most. It was a long day, and by the end of the day I was pooped. I ate quite a bit of pizza and cake and spinach dip (YUM!) and I finally pooped out at about 8:00. I think mom and dad were ready for us all to go to sleep. I already cant wait for my 2nd birthday!!!!

Kiddos

There's not much to report here. We are just getting through the rest of this winter - anticipating spring like everyone else!

Hamilton is doing well in school. We've talked about making good choices when it comes to friends. Apparently when he hangs out with the "rowdy" kids he loses all self control. But, when he hangs out with the "good" kids he's an angel!

We went to Barne's Elementary School's "Movie Night" Friday night and watched "Space Buddies" and ate pizza. It was a fund raiser for the PTA. Much fun was had by all! The baby slept on the gym floor through the entire movie! We couldn't believe with all the screaming and yelling and running going on around us that he could sleep through that!

Harrison has visited Yellow Balloon Preschool and loves it! He is set to start there in the fall. He's such a big guy! He's my cuddle bug! He loves to help me cook and he's one heck of a laundry folder!!!

Henderson is walking now. He mostly side-steps. He's so proud still when he walks up to you, and he expects there to be much celebration! He loves to hold on to your pant leg and walk with you wherever you are going! It's hard to believe he's almost a year old!

2 weeks until Spring Break! We are all looking forward to that. We don't have big plans but we always have fun just hanging around - having lazy days for the most part!

That's all that's going on here - hope everyone is doing well!
