Texas Stars Hockey - Month 8 (Oct 27 - Nov 26, 2010)

One of Jason's coworkers invited us to a Texas Stars game in early November.  Texas and hockey didn't seem like a winning combination but we thought it might be fun and Henry could "see" his first hockey game. Henry had a blast even though it was a little loud and cool in the arena.

If only it weren't so blurry,  but you can see how much fun he was having.

Visit with Santa!

Grandma and Great Grandma are in town so we decided it would be a great time to go see Santa.  Santa didn't want Henry to touch his beard and got upset but we got at least this one good photo before he broke into tears. 

Opening Day of Deer Hunting

Henry is all set in his camo suit and going to bed dreaming of opening day of deer hunting with Grandpa, Uncle Matt and Great Uncle Jim!  Happy hunting!!

Jeff's Wedding - Month 7 (Sept 27- Oct 26, 2010)

On Thursday October 21 we all went on a big adventure to travel to Jeff and Rita's wedding.  That meant another airplane trip for Henry (first trip was at 10 weeks old for Great Uncle Jim and Great Aunt Erin's wedding)!  He's going to have more frequent flyer miles before he's one years old than I did by the time I was 18.  The trip to the airport made Henry very hungry....

We got to Atlanta without problem.  Henry ate and slept a bit on the plane and was pretty content playing on our laps and getting smiles from the other passengers.   Henry and Daddy had fun trying to figure out how to change a diaper in the airplane restroom that didn't have a table or much of a flat surface.

The next morning we got to start meeting all of the relatives that were staying at the same hotel.  We got to see Meme, Pepe, Abuelo David, Femy, Aunt Denise, Aunt Lynda and Uncle Donald first.

Later that day we went to the wedding rehearsal and dinner.  There we got to meet Uncle Jeff, Aunt Rita, Aunt Heidi, Uncle Pete and Great Grandma Margaret for the first time.

After a late night and some sleep it was Uncle Jeff and Aunt Rita's wedding day!  It was a special day so we had to put Henry in special clothes for the occasion.  All I can say is he was WAY TOO CUTE!

Henry and I were escorted into the beautiful church by Daddy.  We were able to stay in the church long enough to see the wedding party and the bride walk in before Henry got to antsy and talkative (bababa).

We spent most of the wedding behind the soundproof windows in the back of the church but could hear what was going on in the service and play and eat while we waited.  We came back in just in time to see Rita and Jeff announced as husband and wife.  

We were able to get a few pics of the 4 generations of Jason's family.  Henry, Jason, Abuelo David and Pepe.

After getting a little lost on the way to the reception we made it to the Fernbank Museum.  We got to see more of our relatives, eat, dance and take in the beautiful room.  Other than the large dinosaur in the room you wouldn't have known it was a museum.  Here are a bunch of pictures from the night.

Looking Back: November 5th 2009

One year ago today Jason and I learned that our little baby was a BOY!  We were so excited to see him on the screen with all his fingers and toes!  He was only 9oz but they could see all his organs, bones and all 4 chambers of the heart.  It was so amazing!

I called my mother, father and mother-in-law from the parking lot to tell them our news.  I think I scared my mother-in-law because she usually doesn't get calls from me at work, but I was too excited and wanted to share the news with everyone. 

Halloween

Yesterday was Henry's First Halloween!

Saturday night we carved our three pumpkins

Halloween we had some of the neighbors over to grill out and hang out for the evening.  That way everyone could talk, go trick-or-treating or hand out their candy all from our yard.  Henry was thrilled to "help" with the candy when the others went trick-or-treating even if it meant diving into the bowl to get the best candy.

Which pumpkin is Henry??



By the end of the night we had one tuckered out little pumpkin.
