Fall Fun!

Even though we have a very small yard, we have a quite large tree that blesses us with many, many leaves every year. This year we recruited the help of Henry. It's about time he earns his keep! Although he had much more fun jumping in the piles than raking them up, we certainly enjoyed the family time we had together to tackle this job. Enjoying the pile!
I think he had enough at this point.

What a big helper!

He had his own "mini" rake, that was twice his size.

Halloween!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted pictures, but Kevin had the camera in Japan, so I do have some catching up to do. This year Henry was a cowboy for Halloween, complete with homemade chaps and a vest made by Grammy. He has mastered "trick-or-treat" and still wakes up in the morning asking for "treats." Henry went trick-or-treating with his cousins and his buddy Owen and enjoyed handing out candy to fellow trick-or-treaters. Henry was definitely more interested in blowing out the candles on the jack-o-lanterns than anything else.


I had bought Henry a cute Shrek trick-or-treat basket, but when he saw Cole's Spiderman, he fought hard for it, and won! Thanks Cole for being such an understanding cousin!

Henry spent much of the night trying to blow out the candles, I guess he convinced Cole to help out as well.


Still going!



Here is the whole James Street crew! TROUBLE!!



Group shot! This is getting more and more difficult the more children we add.
