Hello all! Welcome to our new site! I was inspired by a girlfriend of mine to get this set up, and I hope to keep it up to date and stocked with new pictures.
Summer has flown by for us. We have had the joy of celebrating several weddings and traveling all across the Midwest and East Coast. We started the summer with a trip to Annapolis for Jenn and Rob's amazing wedding weekend (Henry got to wear his new bow tie), and we also made trips to Traverse City (Michigan) and Athens to see 2 of our dear friends "tie the knot." We just returned from Wisconsin where we also had the chance to celebrate Aunt Tami and Uncle Greg's wedding. It was an incredible weekend!! Henry enjoyed his first visit to the Scandinavia Corn Roast, where he danced the Polka and ate 2 whole ears of corn on the cob!!
Henry has had quite the summer. He turned 1 on June 9th, and enjoyed the chance to eat cake with his Grandma and Grandpa Slack, Grandma and Grandpa Trinrud, and Aunt Erin. He also decided to show off his moves by taking his first steps during the birthday weekend!! We were thrilled.
He is now pretty much going non-stop: running, eating, and trying news words all the time. He knows Mama, Dada, ball, night-night, and "Boots" and "Lily" (2 family cats). He likes to clap and dance, and never misses the chance to play outside.
Grandpa Ted is coming to visit very soon, so we are gearing up for his arrival. We cannot wait!! We will try to be better about keeping this up to date and filled with pictures of our growing boy.
We love you all -
Henry had a very big day Saturday, as we went to get his first haircut. I have to admit - it was very hard to see those sweet, blonde curls disappear (see first picture), but he is quite the clean cut little boy now. We had a great time playing with bubbles and eating animal crackers while they cut away. Henry was a very big boy - did not shed a tear!
