Back to Blogging

It's hard to believe Henry is almost 2 years old. Everyone said that time would fly, but it is amazing how it truly has. We have discovered that we have a very vocal, very strong-willed, very active, very empathetic, and affectionate little boy. He brings constant laughter and joy to our lives. Over the past year, our little baby has turned into a little boy....he is in love with trucks, tractors, airplanes, dirt, rocks, water, bubbles, and dogs. We cannot keep him out of our pool..and it is an act of Congress to get him indoors at night to go to bed. Just over the past few months, he has started saying "night night daddy (or mommy), I love you". We're having a blast.

Cole Gets his MBA

Cole started the Executive MBA Program at SMU the weekend before Henry was born. After 22 months of endless nights of studying, numerous papers, exams & group projects, on top of 8 hours of class every other Friday and Saturday, he graduated with his Masters May 16th, 2009. We were beaming with pride......he worked so hard, and made incredible grades. Here are a few pictures of the celebration.

Water time!

Our Thursday afternoons are saved for playdates with Harper, David, Caroline, and Parker. Last week everyone came over and got into the water table. It was hilarious to watch the boys splash water all over themselves, and the girls cautiously play around them.
