Finally, some pictures!

Henrys First Snowfall of 2008

I was very unsure of what to think about it...esp. in my PJs! crazy Mom!

This zebra is for sitting on and reading, right?

with daddy on halloween as a pumpkin!

I hated wearing my pumpkin costume, please

henrys first time finger painting!

what a Mess!

Good thing bathtime was next on the agenda!

Today, playing in the snow!

Happy December everyone hope you all had a great November and a nice thanksgiving! Our end of November was busy because mommy had to work around thanksgiving but oh well I got to spend lots of time with daddy and grandmas and grandpas so I have not been complaining too much! I love the snow outside! Today mommy put my snowpants on and hauled me outside and we played in the snow for a little while! Although, I really wanted to make a snowman and this snow was not meant for making snowmen because it kept falling apart! So, please make it snow some more so that I can make a snowman! I have also been staying busy learning the alphabet and numbers, I know over half of the alphabet and a few more numbers now...but colors I have kind of went backwards...currently everything is red! I have also been quite the little dancer lately! (not that I was not before, but now i really get into it!) I have also become a bit mischievous and try to get into ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! Any suggestions on what my mommy can do about this problem! I also really love all the Christmas lights mommy put up in the house and especially the carousel of great-grandma Mashaks...it is my favorite! well, hope you enjoy all of the updated pictures and i will hopefully see all of you very soon! Love, Henry

november

hope everyone is enjoying the cold weather! We have been busy at our house getting ready for my sister to arrive! Only 10 more weeks and she will be here, SCARY!! Then I will have to share mommy and daddy all the time. i am still not sure how this is going to work! Daddy has been busy trying to finish as much of the basement as possible so that I can play with all my toys in the basement playroom since it is getting too cold to go outside everyday. So i really cannot wait for him to get done with that! Last weekend we celebrated my grandpa albers birthday, he turned 58!!! (If you didnt know any better you would seriously think he is like 39!) mommy has been taking lots of pictures of me so i will try to get her to add them to my blog soon because there are some awfully cute ones! oh, and I better tell you what I have been doing....I have been learning my letters, numbers, colors and shapes! I know W, M, D, K, Y, O, 1, 5, 6, 9 and sometimes 4! and, circle, triangle square and rectangle! and the colors i know so far are purple..my favorite one to say, yellow, blue and red sometimes and black! I have been getting pretty smart! I still love to read with mom and dad and do puzzles all day long. Lately i have also been coloring a lot of pictures because i finally sit still to color for more than one minute and I decided that crayons dont really taste all that good, although they do look like they would be tasty! hope you all have a nice weekend, love henry!

Our family pictures are back!

Good Evening Everyone,

This is momma morgan writing! Henry is (hopefully) sleeping soundly in his crib, but I just got some energy when i put him to sleep so I thought I better update his blog quickly! We have had a busy couple of weeks! Scott and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary on october 15 by going on a little vacation to Duluth WITHOUT Henry! (Poor Baby!) But he was in great hands at grandma and grandpa morgans house playing with them and aunt bonnie and soon to be uncle randy! I doubt he missed me nearly as much as I missed him! But scott and I did have a fabulous time together doing things that are much more difficult to do with a 17 month old! We went to Enger park in Duluth and climbed a tower that offered amazing views of Lake Superior, went out to dinner twice without even having to worry about what to feed henry, went on a tour cruise on the duluth harbor, and went in the pool at the hotel and laughed at all the people with kids because it was SO relaxing to not have a child to entertain! But on the night we got back I had to go to the ER because I was having numbness and tingling in my leg so they thought I might have a blood clot, which I did not! thank goodness, but they really dont know why i keep getting the numbness...oh well! I guess I will survive fine with it for 14 more weeks! That is right...I am already 26 weeks along! VERY CRAZY! It has went by so fast, with number 2 I just do not have the time to sit and think about how far along I am...I do feel kind of bad for this poor girl because I read to Henry everyday when I was pregnant to him and rocked him in his rocking chair and read every word of every parenting book I had! With this one I try to read as much of the parenting books as possible, but I usually fall asleep! Oh well! Henry is getting more and more fun with everyday, but also more and more rebellious! if anyone has a solution to putting things into the toilet let me know! We just dont know what to do! and now he seems to think the drawers on my china hutch are very fun to open and shut because scott and I get a (funny) worried and panicked look on our faces for fear that all my nice dishes might fall out! but he is also talking more and more each day so it is alot of fun to be home with him so much to hear all of his new words and all the new tricks he can do! Today we "finger" painted for the first time....he had a good time but it was more like body paint! It was a good thing he was only in a diaper! Because he was rubbing it all over himself! But he did think it was a lot of fun, so I guess that is all that matters! Scott has been busy working in the basement! It is looking mighty good! Today he finished hanging sheetrock in the bedroom we are adding to the basement, it looks so nice! We also put a window in there and he did it all himself! I am always so impressed! Well, I better get going I want to go put 300 pictures into albums yet before I fall asleep! Hope you all have a great weekend and we hope to see you soon! happy haunting, katie

Fall has been fabulous!

hello everyone this is Henrys momma writing since i am bored at work tonight! Well, henry has been getting more and more fun everyday! He constantly says new words and does new tricks that always amaze us! Just yesterday I took him for a run before work and he kept saying "STOP" he has been saying "sop s" for a stop sign for a while but it never comes out very clear but yesterday for some reason he finally figured out stop! it was so darn cute! he is really big into stop signs, yield signs, mail boxes, lights, flags, flowers and everything else we see on walks and runs now...almost to the point of being a bit annoying (not to mention that it makes me quite winded telling him what everything is)! Amazingly he is also getting even more into reading books. Scott and I just about go bonkers when we see him going toward the book shelf. Although we know that it is good for him, we get so sick of reading books all day long! But Henry is in heaven sitting on our lap flipping the pages while we read away, so we should not complain! Last week I got some fabulous pictures of Henry playing in the leaves at the park in Zumbrota, I personally think they are cuter than any photographers pictures! he thought the leaves were so interesting to play with! I will try to add them sometime in the next couple of days because they really are too cute! This week Scott and I are giong to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary.....CRAZY! Time has just flown by! I am not sure if we even believe all of the changes that have happened over the past 3 years! We are thinking about going up north this week to celebrate since both scott and i have a few days off of work...well i do often! but Scott actually took vacation time just so he could spend it with me! What a guy?!! Well, I should get back to work and hopefully we will talk to or see you all soon, Katie

Finally some new pictures!

Good Afternoon Everyone, hope you are all having a fabulous sunday! I sure am! My daddy was home all day today....he used to always work on sundays! But now he has finally got every other weekend off and so today we went to church and then to brunch and then we came home and played and watched football and baseball! I am talking more and more each and everyday, my favorite things to say are stop sign, purple, flower, blue block, big boy and "uh" ....I try to say so much more but mommy and daddy cannot understand quite what i am saying! Mommy is getting bigger and bigger....whew! just kidding, but she is getting bigger because she has a sister in her tummy! I cannot wait to be a big brother! Well, mommy is going to go take me for a walk so enjoy all the pictures and i hope to see you all soon, Henry scott morgan!

we have NO excuse!

So sorry for the delay between posts, there is really NO reason! We are just getting lazy at this house! or maybe it is because we really have not done anything since my last post! But i will try to get mommy to add some cute pictures of me soon! Tonight she is at work, I am sure she is working hard! I am at home, kind of, with daddy.....we went to grandma and grandpa morgan's house for part of the evening! Tomorrow grandma and bonnie are leaving for Colorado to go see Monica Mc! I bet they will have a good time without me for a few days! mommy had a garage sale last weekend and tried to sell all of my clothes! it was so sad! All my cute little clothes! But she has already gotten SO many girl clothes! She just does not stop shopping for pink! And having the garage sale meant seeing Grandma Albers, so that was good! She even brought me a donut for breakfast! YUMMY!!! Well, since it is getting to be bedtime I will let you go but I hope to see you all soon, Love henry....oh yeah and I am going to have a baby sister! I am so excited! I like to lift up mommys shirt and give the baby kisses! I am just too cute!

It is going to be a......

GIRL!!!! Yaaaahhhh!!! We are so excited! I cannot believe that I get to have a sister like Madison! My mommy is already getting all of my clothes ready for a garage sale! Well, I dont have much time right now so I better run. I just wanted to let you know our news!!!!!

Love, Henry

Sorry its been so long!

Hey everyone,

Sorry it has been SO long since I have updated you on my life! I am sure you think that I have been busy, but I have not been! I have been spending lots of time with mom and dad, of course! But also with Grandma and Grandpa Albers and Morgan! Since I last updated, I have went to the goodhue county fair, the mn state fair and i got to see my new baby sister (or brother) on a screen! So i have been having some fun! At the goodhue county fair I got to see lots of little animals, that was really fun. They even had a dog and kittens!!!! I loved that! Then when we went to the state fair I got to see more animals, but mostly more people! There were lots of people everywhere, I think my hand might still be sore from all of the waving that took place on thursday! But mommy got some ice cream and I really liked it, as well as the chocolate covered marshmallows! I was not really in the mood for anything else, so I...along with everyone else, just ate junk food at the fair! Then on friday morning they loaded me into my car seat again...man i was sick of it! but we got to go to the clinic and see my sister! Margaret said that if she had to guess, she would say it is a girl. But primarily because we could not see any boy parts on the screen! The baby kept waving at me, she must know already that I wave at her all day long! I also know what a baby says now, "wahwah" and I also know to point to mommys tummy for the baby! I am getting smarter every single day! Well, I better get going mommy said she was going to make me chili for lunch or waffles, so we will have to see what she decides! But I will add some pictures so you can all see how cute I am! Love ya, Henry
