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
