Rugrats

The Herrills enjoyed a date night and we enjoyed a night with Andrew. We had a full agenda including, but not limited to -

1) play with tupperware, which was recently relocated to the bottom shelf during our "move"
2) enjoy a hearty meal of chicken, pasta wheels and peas
3) bath time
4) wagon ride
5) ball pit






Again, Henry practicing his moves...on the move...while mom and dad prepared themselves for head trama numero tres






Henry loves Andrew








Pooped after a long day

Henry, looking very dapper in his birthday outfit from Aunt Ann






"Mmmm...Mmmm..."


Ann headed to Tanzania, Africa in June and we all congregated in Blackwell to wish her well and pray for safe travels


Vogue...Henry saw this move in the latest boys band video...he's been practicing


Contemplating his moves

Staging

Henry was a big help (kidding) while staging our house for sale. It may have all been for not, but I got some MAJOR cleaning and decluttering accomplished. Hallelujah.

Photos for the realtors...this was before the roofers smothered my hostas with shingles...hostas are now pitiful and no longer green. Hanging baskets were discarded altogether.






Doing the Frankenstein




We made forts out of boxes no longer needed for moving...Henry LOVED having boxes all over the house. We now know what to get him for Christmas.

Per prior blog, Henry loves to swim in the nude. Below are some of our favorites...

Moments before Henry's first swim, Daddy provided some last minute precautionary warnings -

1) Walk; don’t run in or around the pool facility
2) Spitting, spouting and nose-blowing in the pool is strictly prohibited.
3) Always wear your sunscreen.
4) Swimmers must be accompanied by a parent or responsible person at all times.


The second his toe hit the water, Henry was elated. There was no stopping him.


And as I've mentioned, it was from pool, to dirt, back to pool, back to what was now mud, and finally, to pool again.














We have since purchased swimmers diapers for Henry. After much consideration, we felt swimmers were probably more appropriate than his birthday suit if swimming in the front yard...and the front yard has grass and is mud free.

Henry chose the Nemo print


Geraniums - yum!










Wade's attempt to take a photo of me and Henry


Better...now, if we could just work on focusing...

I hate to brag, BUT...

Check out the first rose on our newest rose bush! We planted the rose bush this spring, and it had been void of any rose until now. It must prefer 100+ heat and dry, cracked earth...ah, Oklahoma summers.








I thought Henry was going to smell the rose, when he suddenly tried to eat it.

Rubba Dub Dub

Rubba Dub Dub, Henry’s in the tub! And having a splashing good time.




I don’t know what he has all over his face…there’s really no telling. Could be chocolate, could be mud, could be…




Show us those pearly whites!


We like to blow bubbles during our baths. It is muy muy fun.

Tribute to Candice

Henry had to bid farewell to Candice last week. Friday was Candice's official last day as Henry's nanny. She was a godsend and we will miss her terribly. Thank you, Candice, for loving Henry like your own and taking such wonderful care of him.


Now we are blessed to have my cousin, Lauren, watching Henry for the month of July. Lauren and Henry will be spending their days at Connell Court playing in Henry's pool and going for wagon rides.
