My baby is 1!!

The holidays have come and gone and my baby boy has turned 1. Sorry I haven't shared with you about all of the exiting things that have happened over the past three or four weeks. We had a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year's Eve (Henry's birthday). We visited with family and enjoyed spending time with each other. The kids are almost overwhelmed with new toys. Charlie has a room full of dinosaurs and Isabelle is enjoying art supplies and princess dolls. She was most impressed with the nail polish and chap stick that Santa left in her stocking.

Henry's birthday party was a lot of fun. We didn't have as many guests as we had anticipated as Chad's grandfather is ill. Henry really enjoyed his birthday cake. He dug in with both hands and made a pretty big mess. He fed a few pieces to the dogs, but most every bite made it to his mouth. My husband was in charge of the food - Barbeque. It was really good, but there was so much of it. We probably could have fed most of our neighborhood.

We had a few days last week of Henry not feeling well, but he is all better now. Chad stayed home with him on Wednesday, and Thursday, and I was home on Friday. It is amazing how quickly they get used to someone holding them all of the time.

We are currently in the middle of birthday overload. Henry's birthday was Dec. 31st. Isabelle was invited to classmates' birthday parties on the 9th and 16th. Then we are having Charlie's birthday party this weekend. My birhtday is the following weekend. By the end of this month, she is likely to think that every weekend means a birthday party.

I hope to get some pictures up of the birthday party, Christmas and the photos we had taken before Christmas soon. This of course means me taking time to sit down at the computer at home to get them off of the camera and uploaded. Hopefully I can get it done soon.
