Vacation!

Hey everyone, It is Katie! Henry is snoozing away after a busy week of vacation and having guests at our house! On friday night we had some of scotts friends from college come down to spend the weekend here. We went to Lake City and played in the water, which Henry loved even though the water was quite gross and very wavy henry thought it was fabulous! He is definetely a water baby! Those guests lef ton sunday morning and I packed our bags to head up north to go camping with Bonnie, Randy, Grandma and Grandpa Morgan. We camped at Temperence River State Park, which was about an hour and a half north of Duluth. It was beautiful! We had fabulous weather and great company! On Monday when we woke up it was kind of cloudy so we decided to head to Grand Marais for a bit to go to the little shops, which was great. We did find a few cute things to bring back of course! And some fudge! That afternoon Henry and I went for another walk and the boys went fishing on lake superior (I think they caught a few fish, enough to make them happy)! Then we ate and hung around the campfire! It was fabulous! Then on Tuesday the weather was PERFECT! So Henry and I went for a nice long run and walk in the morning and then when we were eating breakfast we all decided to go for a 6 mile hike up to the top of Carlton Peak, which was supposed to offer a beautiful lookout over Lake Superior. So I opted to carry Henry up the Peak and man it was a challenge! Byt he top I was ready for a break! He was not that heavy on my back but it is just scary because we were climbing up lots of rocks that were a bit slippery or loose and I constantly feared I might fall! But Henry was awesome and enjoyed the hike I think! Once up on top we had amazing views! It was well worth the work! When we got back we were all pretty exhausted so we headed down to the lake and put our feet in the freezing cold Lake Superior water! Henry loved it, he thought it was great and wanted to put his whole body in! Crazy Boy! On Wednesday, our final day up there we had a nice relaxing morning, got things packe dup and around noon headed into Duluth to go to those little shops, eat some more fudge and ....if you go to Duluth you have GOT to go the Rocky Mt Chocolate shop..i think that is what it is called! but they have like 50 different types of caramel apples...amazing...I had a caramel apple dipped in choc. and rolled in snickers! SO yummy! And there fudge is pretty amazing as well! Then we ate at Grandmas Rest. and watched a 1000 ft boat leave the canal. It scared Henry to pieces, he could not hold on tight enough! Overall, we had an awesome vacation! But as always it was really nice to get home last night and henry really enjoyed playing with all of his own toys! Hope you all had a good week, love Scott katie and Henry

Happy Thursday Everyone,

Hope you are all having a nice week. I am, although I do not like all this thunder...it is so scary! This past week i got to do a lot of fun things! Over the weekend my mommy worked so I stayed with Lynn, Amy and Ethan and had lots of fun playing with them! I had so much fun I cannot wait to see Ethan again! That was on Sunday, on Friday I got lucky enough to stay at grandma and grandpa albers house while mommy worked! They took me on a ride in the car and to see my cousin ethan! So i got to see ethan twice in one weekend! Then on Monday Eleanor came over so mommy could sleep, she had so much fun with me! And on tuesday mommy took me shopping for what we hope is my baby sister! we bought LOTS of cute girl clothes! (I secretly want a brother, but I know my mommy wants a girl so she can dress her up in pink....because I HATE pink!) Tomorrow night daddys friends from college are going to come over and then on saturday we are going to go do something fun in the sun and in the water! And on Sunday night we are hopefully going to leave for our vacation with grandma and grandpa morgan up to northern mn camping. It will be mommy and Is first vacation this summer, so daddy better not have to go to jury duty on monday, or we will be VERY upset! Well, I guess that is about it. Have a great week! Love, Henry

Tough Boy

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all having a fabulous thursday! I sure am, I already got to go to the park this morning and flirt with a cute little girl! I have really become a great walker in the last few days! I walk EVERYWHERE! My knees feel great, for the first time in months! well the other night I got to stay over night at grandma and grandpa morgans house, it was only the second time ever that I have stayed away from mommy and daddy overnight! I had a lot of fun though, i even woke them up in the middle of the night! haha....I wanted to see them in the middle of the night because they are so much fun! I got to play with the dogs out at their house too, and the nice little lambs! Then yesterday, mommy and daddy took me on a car ride to nelson wisconsin for cheese curds and ice cream! they just felt like going for a boring car ride (i have NO idea why?) ! But then we stopped to see my great-grandma on the way home and she knew right who i was! I waved and blew lots of kisses to her! And last night when we were just hanging out at home Lynn, Amy and Ethan came over to play with me! It was so much fun, I want to be just like Ethan, he can run and talk....we are going to cause a lot of trouble when we get older! I even gave him lots of rides on my tractor, he kept saying it was his, but don't worry it is still at my house and it is still mine! but mommy did take some pictures of me pushing ethan! well, i better get going to take my nap! hope you all have a nice weekend! love ya, henry

the new baby.....

is already trying to steal my spotlight! Well, today mommy and daddy went to get some pictures of our new baby. The baby was going to be coming on Jan 30th but today they said probably not until Feb 5. Mommy thinks they are wrong and thinks that the baby is going to still come on january 30. She was right about me....May 5....but those doctors kept saying april 30th....we will see who wins this time! We have not been up to too much lately. Trying to play outside when it is not too hot out and going to the pool a few times. It feels so nice in the pool and I get to check out lots of hot chicks in their little bikinis and they are all my size! It is so much fun! This weekend daddy is going to build us a patio in our backyard, I am so excited. he is going to set up my pool back there...then i can go swimming right in my own backyard. i also think my uncle scott and aunt steph are coming down to bring gavin and madison to see me. I am so excited. Maybe on saturday we can do something fun while daddy is at home working hard! Well, let me know if you want to do something this weekend, because mommy and I want to get out of the house while daddy is working like a dog! And, I suppose I will share some pictures of my new baby....talk to you soon, love always, henry scott morgan!
