Henry is a 2-year old punk...

... but we like him anyway.

Here he is getting a talking to after crawling into the bathroom, unrolling the entire TP roll, throwing the empty tube in the toilet and trying to flush. Thankfully, his little muscles weren't quite up to that final feat.

You can see how chastened and contrite he is feeling



He loves to make faces whenever we pull out the camera




He's decided that any party is the appropriate venue to wear his skeleton costume from Halloween


He had no shame about crashing the ward nativity play, despite not officially being cast as a member of the manger scene


But he loves his family








And his playful personality is pretty hard to resist

Baby Eli other wise known as...

Colonel Mustard, Pony Boy, Merbaby, Piglet, Cricket and Megan's personal favorite -- "E" -- is now 2 months old.

Wow, that went fast.

With Megan being our first baby, and shall we say, feisty, I thought she would never grow and we would never sleep again. I literally wished her to two months. With Henry the first two months were a blur, we enjoyed him but it was a little traumatic looking back, feeding him through a tube in his nose and trying to figure out what was going on. And now with Eli he is growing so fast and I feel like he is going to be one before I know it. I guess by baby number three you start to realize just how fast these little babies grow and change. So this is a reminder to myself: as I am bouncing Eli with the TV volume to the max to hear over his cries, and constantly finding spit-up on everything I wear, and kissing Mike good night as he goes to the couch, this really is just a fleeting moment and I need to enjoy it, because it is gone before you know it.

Here are his stats at 2 months
Weight: 11 lb 8 oz (50%)
Length: 22 in (25%)






Isn't he the cutest, sweetest, lovable, most easy going 2 month old baby out there?
I love him.

Also I am finding out with #3 it is hard to pull it altogether so here are his 5 week stats before I lose them:

Weight: 9 lb 2 oz (50%)
Length: 21 1/4 in (50%)

It's Snowing

White beautiful snowflakes are falling from the sky and gathering lightly on the ground, Christmas music is humming through the house, the Christmas tree lights are twinkling, there is a sweet smell of cookies baking (I bought a cookie candle), family is coming into town tomorrow. Now it feels like Christmas.

Baby Eli at 4 weeks enjoying his first Christmas season.





Megan's debut as Mary in the church nativity.




Since Megan was in the play, Henry decided he should be too. He also decided baby Jesus needed rocking and the live stock need talking to. However Megan instructed him that was not how the nativity was rehearsed.


Not to worry Henry is making his own theatrical debut this season as.....

Tiny Tim, from "A Christmas Carol"
You should really hear his line, "God bless us, everyone!" It really is cute, and even made Ms. Karen cry.

Ms Karen gave Henry a early present this year. Henry thinks his new "robot arms" are only so so, but Megan loves them and is constantly hopping around pretending she has a broken leg.



Have a Merry White Christmas, even if it is only for today.
