Pushing the yellow button

Grandma Carol and Henry found a new favorite activity last week. He loves to push the yellow button on his musical toy, then watch intently as the merry-go-round lights up and plays music. When the music stops, we cheer and he pushes the yellow button again. We do this over and over and over and over. We spent the weekend at the lake with Grandma and Grandpa Beckman and Liz, Nick and Stella Miesen. We had a wonderful time relaxing, playing with the babies, skiing, eating, hot tubbing, and just lounging in and around the water. Henry and Stella seemed to hit it off again...I think it's getting serious. I neglected to take many pictures, but Liz has posted some fun ones of the babies on their blog: www.nlfamily.blogspot.com. During the week we have been enjoying free concerts in the park. We pack picnics on Wednesdays and Sundays, lie on our blanket and listen to the music. Grandma Carol has joined us for a couple on Wednesdays, and we are excited for MooMoo and Grandpa Hacker to join us Sunday! They are coming to visit for a whole week! We can't wait. We recently put together Henry's highchair - thanks Aunt Kim and Uncle Eric - and he loves it. I think he feels like a big boy sitting in the kitchen with me. Tonight Henry went to his first county fair. He seemed to enjoy all of the animals...I think he liked the rabbits best. He really wanted a corn dog, but daddy wouldn't share. Hope everyone is having a great week!
