Back to Boston/Happy Valentine's Day

We arrived back in Boston on Friday night, and to make sure there is no doubt that we aren't in Florida anymore Henry and I spent an hour or so shoveling snow this afternoon (a process no longer as enjoyable since Mike taught Henry how to throw snowballs at me - he has freakishly good aim).

Henry was a trooper on the flight, as usual. We were delayed for a while in the West Palm Beach airport, and happened to be sitting by the crew for our flight (also waiting for our delayed plane). Henry was such a charmer - calling out gate numbers, naming all the pieces of equipment as they went by the window, "reading" his books out loud to people, going to strangers and saying "I'm going to Boston but it is FAR AWAY!", and putting on an impressive jumping jacks presentation - that the entire crew befriended him and once we boarded the plane Henry got a special cockpit tour and meet and greet with the pilots. He is such a ham.

We don't have a lot of pictures from the past few days, but here is a video of Henry "reading":



(note the chaos in the room - he managed to do all of that in a 10 minute period)

Henry gave us a lovely Valentine's Day gift by WILLINGLY EATING ASPARAGUS*! And a few pieces at that! We took a photo as evidence:




*We would like to thank the show "Dinosaur Train" and specifically its "Hungry Hungry Herbivore" song for making this moment possible. All we need to do now is ask Henry if he wants to eat like Ned the Brachiasaurus, and greens are consumed!
