my boys

jake loves his grandparents - every time he sees his grandma, he has to get a juicy and fruit-snacks before he leaves her. a little too much sugar sometimes, but a ritual that is sweet :) just now, she came over and left her goodies. but since it is 9:24pm, he had to choose between the 2, rather than have both so late....he said "i'll save the juicy for 'morrow" :)

we went to the va living museum today with grandmother, mackdaddy, and cousin ethan (who is visiting for the week) - they had a dinosaur exhibit which jake loved. henry had a great time too and was very content and good. we did have to exit the planetarium movie early because he kept talking and wouldnt sit still. but a nice time overall.

jake also went to "camp grandmother" for several days, to stay with her and spend time with ethan. they went to busch gardens, the children's museum in richmond (played with the awesome race car display), and tried to camp out each night. but it always stormed. they did manage to roast marshmallows though! he had fun and spent 3 nights away from home! i'm glad he's back home now :)

henry can follow simple directions, such as when we tell him to take a toy to daddy. he is so cute - smiles alot - likes his mama- cries when you tell him "no", especially if your voice is stern. he says "hello" very clearly when he pretends to talk on a phone. and calls a ball a Gall - wearing a size 6 shoe now - seems to be bigger than jake was at this age - will climb the ladder to jake's bunk beds if he can - knows where his eye and mouth are - does a lizard where he sticks his tongue in/out really fast :)
