My Kids & Me

Memaw got to see Henry for the first time today. He loved her to death and gave her this cute little smile.


Henry will be 1 month tomorrow. How time flies!

I have to wear this thing for 3 days for some tests I'm having done. I can't shower, sweat or anything for 3 days. I'm really gonna stink come Monday.

Oscar & Elizabeth finished up soccer camp on Friday. Elizabeth has really gotten good. During the games at the end, the coach accused Oscar of diving (i.e., faking like he was taken out). Too funny! He does it all the time in games. It's like he gets shot. The arms go flailing and all.

My first attempt at portrait photography.  Henry slept the whole time, though it would have been nice to get some pictures with his eyes open.  Gives me a good excuse to do it again.

Beth had lots of helpers with Henry. Michael has especially been looking forward to this. They all loved how good he smelled afterward. Elizabeth said he smelled so good she could eat him.

It was raining off and on today, but we had a break late in the afternoon. Good day to show off the muscles. Pictures

I'm going to post all of Henry's pictures here as I take them.

So innocent and sweet. Henry is such a good baby.

Ode to Henry Russell

He's a happy happy baby
With a happy happy smile
Yes, he's a happy baby
He's a happy child

He's my little brother
I know that he loves me
We all called him Pedro
And they call me O.D.

He'll have a smile forever
'Cause he's a happy child
And we'll have fun together
As we walk each happy mile

His name is Henry Russell
Don't know where that came from
But that doesn't matter
'Cause we're gonna have fun

Yes he's a happy baby
I'm as proud as I can be
To have a baby brother
And a happy family!

Lyrics by: Oscar

Well, really he's 8 days old. Grandmom and Pop Pop are now in town for a visit. Everyone was so excited to see them. Mom did a great job of getting Henry to sleep today and she made some fabulous strawberry shortcake for dinner!
