Summer Fun!
Happy July,
Sorry that it has been so long since we have updated! We have been staying busy doing many different summer activities! Since our last post Scott went on vacation with the Albers Men up to the Cabin in Winter! They had a good time from the sounds of it, but I was very happy when he returned...as I was not meant to be a single parent! I need a little me time most days! But he was a very nice hubby and did bring me some fudge home! So I was very grateful for that! We had Scott's Aunt Pam's Wedding and Leahs graduation all on June 20th so that was one busy day but everyone was happy to see Miss Olivia and Big Brother Henry! Everyone at Leahs graduation was also lucky enough to meet baby Benjamin, who is such a little sweetie! He has such a nice head of hair! I cannot wait to see him again! The following weekend I took Henry and Olivia to the Lake City Waterski Days to see the parade, that was kind of a disappointment! ALthough Henry did get to see his Big Cousin Ethan and since that day Henry prefers to call tractors "M-e's" just the way that both Gavin and Ethan say it! And "Yep" because that is another little word that Ethan must say quite often! Then last weekend we went to the Mazeppa parade on Friday night with Grandma A, Grandpa A, Lynn, Amy and Ethan so Henry again thought that was great, Olivia on the other hand, thinks the parades were a bit too loud! But of course she quieted right down for Grandma, as always! And yesterday, Gma and Gpa Albers watched both kiddos while scott and i worked and they took them to Lake City to go for a boat ride with Uncle Lynn! Henry is in heaven by any boat or big truck so he was in heaven most of the day! Thanks Gma and Gpa Albers for making their day so much fun! Henry is always wanting to go to either set of grandparents house because he knows he will always have fun and have a ride of some sort on a tractor, four wheeler, skid loader, argo..or something that is way more fun than at home! Oh and last week we also went to our first Rochester Honkers Baseball game, it was such a blast! Thanks Gma and Gpa Morgan! We had a great time and already hoping to go again some evening!
Henry's Achievements since last update!!!:
Count to 30...although he is quite certain that their is a twenty-ten!
Knows all of his Letters, Uppercase and Lowercase
Can spell HENRY and SCOTT
Also, RIO, DOG, CAT, BALL, NANA, MOM, DAD, WOW, HOP, POP,
Everyday he is starting to say new phrases or words, a few weeks ago he figured out how to say "absolutely not" because that is what I say if I do not want to say "NO" one more time! It is too darn cute coming out of his mouth!
He Hates time out and gets so sad if you even mention it!
And he is getting better and better at puzzles!
Henry's Favorite Things:
Food: Hot Dog w/ ketchup and Mustard
Toy: Blue Bear followed closely by Black bear
Book: giggly and wiggly
Clothes: Hockey Socks- MN WILD socks!
Place: Park or Gprts house!
Thing to do in Zumbrota: Walk up to Main Street(w/ mom and Baby O) and watch for Big trucks, but really he does not care..he sits and waves and YELLS " HI Car, hi pickup, hi big truck, hi motorcycle" he LOVES it...it is free...and again...he loves it...so we do it!
Olivia's Achievements:
Rolls over from tummy to back
Back to tummy
can sit up okay by self, but better w/ boppy pillow!
Giggles, loves raspberries on her belly!
LOVES to watch and look for Henry!
Smiles MUCH more than Henry ever did!
Sleeps from 830-5 and 5-8! what a great baby!
Likes to hang onto anything and everything!
Dislikes long car rides! She gets a bit bored in her carseat!
Well Hopefully I will add some photos and a link to more photos of these two cuties and next week I will be able to add some more photos from vacation...yes you read that correctly I do officially get to go on vacation next Sunday-Thursday with Scott, henry and Olivia as well as Gma and Gpa Morgan, Bonnie and Randy up near Duluth! Hopefully we have good weather and I am positive we will have a good time!

Summers a-comin'
Hey Everyone,
Hope you are all enjoying the nice weather that is finally here! Thank Goodness! We have been busy going for walks to the park and playing outside in the dirt as much as possible as that is all Henry wants to do from sun up to sundown! He is getting to such a fun age now, he can talk so much better and we can really understand most of what he says! He still is totally into reading books and diong puzzles but he also loves to be outside, probably more than anything else! Since we updated last henry turned 2, but of course he had to have Rotavirus then! It was so much fun! he got that the night before Aunt Bonnies wedding to uncle Randy and then he was kind of sick the whole next week! I think everyone that came into contact with him got some form of the virus! But Henry got so many nice toys! Now he is having so much fun playing with them all! Olivia is also getting to be so big, she has the brightest smiles with the cutest dimples! She is just a doll! I cannot believe that she is almost 4 months old already! The time has just flown by! Scott and I have been busy trying to finish the rest of the basement and a few outside projects this spring, hopefully one of these days we will win the powerball and then we can finish the rest of our projects! Most of our time though is spent playing with Henry and Olivia when we are not at work, and that is worth way more than any amount of money! We just love them so much and have so much fun! Well, I will try to add some pictures in the next few days so that you can see just how cute they are! Have a great week! ~The Morgans

Finally....Spring!
Hello Everyone, I am so sorry that it has been so long since I updated! But it is much harder with two! My free time is spent cleaning or ...oh yeah...what free time? I dont really have much of that anymore, unless I feel like getting up at 5 am or staying up LATE (aka after 9!). anywho, we have all been doing quite well! Since last time we went to Wisconsin Dells with grandma and grandpa albers, which was a great time! The waterpark was great and Henry seemed to enjoy it much more than last year. Olivia also went for her first swim! She really didnt seem to mind it, which surprised us all a bit! I think everyone at the waterpark thought that we were nuts for bringing a 5 week old to a waterpark! but we had a good time and it gave us something to do to get away from the frigid temperatures for a couple of days! She even wore an adorable little swimsuit! Henry is gett bigger and bigger by the day and is saying more new words all the time. Our current favorite is "great-grandpa" he says it so darn cute, but for whatever reason he wants to whisper it like he is shy about saying it (he must know that i want him to say it to others because it is so cute and that is why he only whispers it to other people!!). He can count good to 13 now, i am so impressed with him! but the real change in him is that he is becoming more and more of a daddys boy. he gets so sad when scott leaves to do just about anything! Especially if scott is home for the morning and has to go to work or leaves to do something partway thru the day. it just breaks my heart! its so darn adorable! he also wants to go outside ALL of the time now. I think he too is sick of being stuck in the house. we are noticing him getting bored with his toys quite often now...he kind of wanders around the living room aimlessly, then he usually does something naughty! then we know for sure that he is just bored out of his mind! he also has started to have playdates with a little boy from our ECFE class, William. Neither one of them says much to the other, but hopefully they will start to talk to each other and want to play with each other! currently they just want to explore the others toys!
Olivia is also getting so big! I cannot believe that she is already 2 months old. It makes me so sad! She has the biggest, brightest smile it truly does just make my day when she smiles! She also has just a little giggle so far, i am waiting for the true belly laugh to start! It is much different with baby number two as i really just do not remember to get out the camera as much or write down exactly when the first smile was, which is unfortunate! But she is just a little doll! She is a fabulous lilttle baby for the most part though! She eats great and sleeps like only a little morgan baby can sleep...all through the night! from like 9-4 or 5! It is so fabulous for a breastfed baby! I can only hope that she will be half as good a sleeper as henry! she does like a little attention though, she must get bored relatively quickly because she does not like to be left alone with no noise or something to keep her occupied when awake! And at her two month appt she was already up to 10 pounds 13 ounces! Amazing! That was like the 63%! I was so happy!
Well sadly I go back to work in less than two weeks, i cannot believe it! It completely seems impossible! I love my job, but i also love being a mom and i really wish i could just stay home with them everyday and still have money to buy everything! wouldnt that be nice? oh well, I am in need of some adult conversation and gossip! And I am starting to feel like a preschool teacher because all we do is ABCs, counting, reading, coloring, and they are getting so boring! So...I guess maybe I am kind of ready to go back to work!
I better get going, I better pay some bills now...that is one of my other jobs...so currently I am a wife, nurse, teacher, accountant, cleaner, dish washer, clothes changer, park player, book reader, taxi driver, multitasker and most importantly a MOM!
Have a great night/day and We hope that Ethan is feeling better!
Love you all, The Morgan's
