Henry gets creative with a box

How creative and active Henry can be with a box! 

Christmas Morning in NC

We did a short little program Christmas morning before opening presents.  We also read the Christmas story together. 

North Carolina Zoo

Daddy took the kids to the zoo last Friday while I had a conference somewhat nearby.  We are making full use of our aquarium society membership this year.  The dinosaur exhibit was extra, but Henry is definitely in a dinosaur phase, and it was well worth the extra few dollars.  He is always playing with his T-rex toys or pretending to be a T-rex himself.

Sleeping kids.  I love how Henry usually falls asleep holding his favorite toys of the day that he has usually played with for hours before bed.  He still naps most days.  Today the kids slept in until almost 8 am (instead of the usual 6:30 or so), so nap needed today.  Mom felt so good! 

Henry dancing in the closet

I love how Henry dances with just his head.  He really loves music.

5 Museums/zoos in a week

Norfolk Zoo...

Brent and the kids hit 5 museums and zoos over Felicity's fall break.  I went to the bird park with them, and Piers and kids went with him to the Richmond Children's museum, and the rest were just Brent and the kids.  Henry LOVES the zoos-he is really an animal lover.  I asked him if he wanted to be a zookeeper, but he still wants to be an astronaut so he can go see ET.
