A Big Day

Our sweet little baby has become our sweet little boy. Today we celebrated Henry's first birthday with Great Grandma Shamel's homemade pumpkin bread for breakfast, a couple of fun birthday presents, a first haircut, a first taste of candy, and a trip to the basketball court...and the Cowboy Birthday Party isn't until tomorrow! We had a wonderful day celebrating with MooMoo and Grandpa Hacker. Henry showed everyone we met how old he was by pointing his finger at them when asked. He was a very good boy while our favorite Charlotte trimmed his hair. He really looks like a big boy with his new haircut. He was very excited to receive a green little kawasaki four wheeler from the McCarthys. He loved riding around the house today, and was not happy when it was time to get off. The box in which it came, however, proved to be almost as much fun.

We continue to marvel at this little boy of ours. His smile is contagious and his funny little personality melts our hearts on a daily basis. We love the sounds he makes, and the way he walks. We love the gap between his front teeth and his strong, sturdy little legs. We love everything about him, and look forward to all that is to come in year two.

Tonight, the balloons and streamers are hung, the cake is decorated and the cowboy hats are ready...tomorrow we are having a Birthday Party for Cowboy Henry...stay tuned...

Happy Birthday sweet Henry.
