Birthday Party!

We had Henry's birthday party this morning! It was great - we lucked out with beautiful weather so the kids could be out on the deck, we got to spend time with great friends, and of course, have lots of cake.

Thanks to our friends for joining us - we had a great time!

(wondering about the giant blue band-aid on Henry's forehead? He had a run in with a wall while riding his scooter through the house. It isn't bad, but he refuses to take the band-aid off. Oh well)

Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

Today our sweet, wonderful little guy is THREE! We can hardly believe it.

Marathon Monday

Happy Patriots' Day to all in Massachusetts!

The Boston Marathon runs on Patriots' Day every year, and since the runners go by right through our neighborhood, Henry and I once again were there to see the action.

Our viewing spot for the past few years:




Henry waiting for the runners:




The pace car (we were watching at about mile 23 - it is unbelievable how quickly the elite runners go):




First of the elite men (and eventual winner - Robert Cheruiyot):


Henry getting into the spirit and clapping for the runners:





Running his own mini-marathon on the way home:

Maya's Birthday

Yesterday we all had a great time celebrating our friend Maya's 3rd birthday! She had an adorable "Mary Poppins" theme that included Henry being able to decorate and build his own kite (alas, since it was rainy and cold all weekend, the kite has only been used while running through the house thus far...)

Doing an art project:


Putting on a puppet show with his friends:



The birthday girl with her cake:


Happy Birthday, Maya!

Playdate

Henry had a really fun playdate with his friend Griffin today. For some reason they thought the front stairs were a really fun place to hang out and play...
