Hank is a new kid every day...

I guess every parent at some point thinks that they are the first to be amazed and astounded by their kid and that their kid is the most brilliant human that ever walked on the planet. Henry comes out with this stuff that just proves that he is taking it all in and he totally gets it. Today we passed a Honda Element and Henry said that it was Minsok's car and then that it was David's car. Yes, Minsok and David both drive Elements. I just can't believe he knows this stuff. Right now he's really into playing with rocks (encouraged by his grandmom's rock collection), being "tall" (which means that he climbs on top of everything he can to get as tall as possible), and drawing with chalk. Today he climbed up on top of a big rock and said "WE HAVE LIFTOFF!" He cracks us up. Here are some shots from the last couple of weeks.

It's Been a Long Time.....

Hey everyone. Sorry to have kept you all waiting so long for news of the boy. But we're going to post a LOT of pictures, so all of your patient waiting will have been worth it, I promise.

But first, a brief summary of Henry's last month or so. He had a fantastic Christmas that included meeting (and chuckling in the face of) Santa Claus, entertaining his Grandmom and her piano for a holiday singalong at his school, running all over the Lost Pines Resort with all of his cousins, hanging out with old and new friends, receiving way too many presents, forming a close relationship with and naming a new teddybear ("Woof-bear"- if you're curious), and just all around partying.

Also, he is starting potty training, so everyone cross their fingers.

Grandmom Burdett plays a mean piano.

Henry's friend Keshawn liked it, too.

Ben meets Miles Wyatt, a new friend of Henry's (congrats Rachel and David!)
