Arthur’s 2 months old!!

Our baby is growing up so quickly.  On March 13th he turned 2 months old.  He is seriously the best baby!  I don’t know how we were so blessed to have two sweet babies.  He is starting to have longer stretches of sleeping.  One night he went 5 hours and I was in heaven!!  But on average he is still between 3-4 hours.  He busted his 1st really big sincere smile at me on the 9th.  It was so amazing to see his eyes light up and to see him so excited! 

Henry continues to be in love with his baby brother.  The other day one of the neighborhood boys and Henry were out riding bikes and the little boy proclaimed that he was a big brother…..Henry says quiet loudly  “I’m a big brother too, to baby Art”  it was hilarious.  He still cheers Arthur on with diaper changes and reminds him that he is being “so brave”.    The best is when Henry will be talking to Arthur and then say “Oh Arthur James…you are so silly” 

Arthur’s Blessing

I wrote this post a month ago…and now am posting…sorry for the delay.

The 1st week of March we had the sweet experience of blessing our new little one.  We had lots of family in town to celebrate with us and had a blast. 

Henry was especially excited to see all of his Uncles and his cousins Savannah and Nathan.  He LOVES his cousins and has yet to stop talking about them.  He does not understand why he can’t play with them everyday.  We loved having all of our family in town and were so sad to see them go.  Having everyone here for a few days and then having them leave again makes it hard to live so far from family.  But we are getting very excited to have all of my brothers close by soon! 

We were able to kick off the weekend by having Sushi night with Rob, Ryan and David.  Friday we hit up the zoo, and it actually turned into a decent weather day in Portland!  Friday night we all went and saw Rob perform with SPOON.  It was a fun show!  Saturday we hit up the Gorge and Multnomah Falls.  Sunday was Arthur’s blessing and the day of rest!  Monday we went to the Portland Children’s Museum and had a ball.  I love that place! 

Here are some pictures from the weekend.  THANK YOU to all who came and supported our family!  We love you all!
