A month of celebrating Henry

9 years old!
May has been a whirlwind of Henry's activties.
Stage debut as the Lion in the school play.
Out of 75 third and fourth graders he got one of the leads and he was hilarious (in my very biased opinion)!
Camping on the Coast with Dad
Take Your Child to Work Day
Cub Scout advancement
Rookie year in the National League- he was drafted and is one of the youngest players this year.
I try not to resent how much time baseball takes out of our family life.
He loves it so much that it does make it worth it.

If nine years ago someone had told me how hectic and busy our life would be I would not have believed them.
Henry made us parents
(and brought on all of this chaos:)
and it has been such a joy to raise him and have him in our family.

Happy Birthday, Henner!

WOW! Look at all those arrow points - 50.

Our life is a black hole of baseball right now, so I completely understand. Some weeks we are at the fields 6 nights. The boys love it though. I am hoping next year they will be on the same team. It's busy, but that's what Hulu is for right?
