Some photos of a luncheon that Grandma Joey hosted...to let family meet Henry. Henry was about 2 weeks old.

Henry and Great Granny

Elliot has displayed nothing but love towards Henry.  Complete acceptance and love.  It helps that she loves to open and model presents..but is totally okay that they are for Henry and not for her.

Here she is modeling one of Henry's new bibs.



Sometimes a gift is for her - and she is thrilled.  Cute Jacket from Aunt Londa. 



Parents Easily Played

on our drive to Salt Lake City...
Elliot:  I have to go potty. I have to go soooo bad.
Good Parents: Ok baby, we're pulling over at the very next gas station.
2 minutes later, Izaak is pulling over into a gas station parking lot.
Elliot: Maybe, I don't need to go potty. So, I could just get some juice, here.

slam.  We knew we had been had by a 3 year old.  And, what did we do???  We got her some juice.  Acknowledging to ourselves that rewarding this trickster would result in more trickstering.

Since we are not eating or drinking in the new car...Elliot hung out on the gas station curb with her apple juice.  Happy as a clam.

So. Now that I have the most to talk about - I have taken the least time to update this blog.  Time to catch up, huh.

Here is Grandpa Airplane loving on his new grandson Henry.  Henry is 2 weeks old.

Not everything in our life is about Henry.  Elliot holds her own in the center of our world.  She recently scored a pair of ballet shoes, and is over the moon.  Ballet is the be-all of her world.  Well, ballet and kindergarten.  She has built both up as the most amazing rites of passage. 
Yes, in these photos she is wearing gardening gloves and ballet slippers.  one word, FASHIONISTA.

We totally love this girl.

Oh, yeah.  And, we love this boy.

And, we love the two of them together. As much as they are loving each other. 

In this last photo, Henry reminds me so much of Izaak. His hair is brown now, but doesn't he look like he's going to be a red head?!  perhaps, perhaps. And look at Elliot's beautiful eyes!  I am such a lucky momma.
