Back to blogging......


It's time to get back to blogging. I have neglected this far too long. My first step was to update our family photo. The boys amaze me everyday. They are growing up so fast. Ian the baby is 3 and acts like he is 12. He is 100% a big boy now. Sleeps through the night, fully potty trained and sitting in a booster seat in the car. He is quite the Ladies man. He has them following him wherever he goes. I think his 2 favorites at the moment are Riley and Macie. He likes to give all of his sugar away to them. But he always saves some for his favorite girl, Mommy. Dalton is finding his way. There is a lot of truth to the middle child syndrome. He is definitely a mini Terrance in looks and abilities. He loves to work with Daddy. Santa Claus brought all the boys their own work gloves but only Dalton's are shredded from the amount of use. He is usually the first one up strapping on his mud boots to go out and work with Terrance. He earned his own tool, a level, and loves to use it. He is a great helper to me as well in the grocery store. Dalton is becoming an expert coupon shopper. Colin is wrapping up his year in Kindergarten. He has learned so much. My sweet baby rides the bus to and from school and does it with such Independence. I will admit I cried the first day he rode it but now I just watch in amazement as he turns and says "Bye Mom" and walks down the driveway himself. I had a laugh yesterday as I was cleaning out his book bag and found a phone number from a girl on his bus. Not sure I am ready to let these boys grow up just yet.
Terrance has a multitude of projects going on as usual. If we could only harness all of that ingenuity in his head into dollars we would be sitting pretty. His talent and skills are endless from maintaining the greenest grass around to fabricating a motorized wagon and in his spare time building a pole barn for the boat. He has spent much of this spring on the road traveling with work. We miss having him here but make the most of the time we do get with him.

It feels good to get an update out here and I will make it a priority to keep it up. Life is good in the Henry house, we are all happy, healthy and most definitely loved.
