Henry's pretty entertained by his brother's new "legs"...me? I'm not quite prepared. He's not walking by any means, but he's kind of skipping the crawling phase since the frog hops gets him where he wants to go.

Tub Time Fun

"Don't worry, I gotcha!"

I love the way that Charlie is looking at Henry in this one.

Wutzke grandparents' visit

I had given up on trying to find where these had stored themselves in our computer and was randomly browsing my Picasa files...these were in with the picutes from our going away party in Summer 07...

I'm making some good progress on my sweater, especially given that I don't have a lot of time to work on it wth the projects I'm doing for other people.

The Orangerie

We went to The Orangerie at the Tower Hill Botanical Garden this weekend. In Europe, a lot of the 'grand homes' had an Orangerie (a large green house) for all their garden plants during the winter. This was just what we needed, a warm room full of bright greenery to break out of the winter blahs...

The part of the building that you can see jutting out (with wood paned windows) is the orangerie...

mmmmm...some of the trees had blossoms and fruit and the smell was so amazing. I love the smell of orange blossoms.

A victorian water fountain with a frog and turtle motif

Just helping out with the morning routine...I noticed that Charlie had stopped crying before I went in to get him...Henry was just helping me out. Or should I say Brody? Or Mommy? Or George...it's a toss-up these days.

Such a big boy with his biter biscuits...now if those darn teeth would pop throug!

Making silly faces

What is that crazy brother doing?

Where'd My Cookie Go?!

Holiday Fun

Jared and I were able to take the kids to Oregon for Christmas and enjoyed a much-deserved 2 week vacation. I forgot on the day of Charlie's baptism to get the new picture of all the grandkids, and that was the only day they were all in the same place...

Hope you enjoy the pictures of our time there, we loved seeing everyone...of course, there's never enough time to do all you wanted to...

henry loved the Norton's new puppy ladybug

Since he's also a puppy, he had to fall asleep on Brody. I'm sure Brody was thrilled.

Before all the snow melted away, Granny took Henry out to build their own little frosty. Henry stole the shovel from the plastic one for his own snowman.

More Fun in the Snow
