Some recent videos, in no particular order…
Okay, I am off for the night! More to come :)

Hurricane Irene paid us a little visit this week, and put a little crimp in our end of summer plans! All of the media build-up was slightly scary, and then we were all told to evacuate from my parents’ house…throw in a tornado warning in the middle of the hurricane, and I was a mess. Needless to say, neither Jon nor I slept more than an hour that night (compounded by the fact that I was laying on the floor outside the kids’ bedrooms, and Jon was camped out in our basement at home to make sure we didn’t have any water damage).
We didn’t end up evacuating, and thank God, besides some heavy rains and wind, there was no damage to my parents’ house or our house. Many people weren’t so lucky…here is a house by where Jon keeps his boat. We always talk about how beautiful the location is and how we would like to live there…not anymore, haha.
And Jon went for a run around RVC tonight, and he said one of the largest homes in town, a Tudor, was literally split in half by a gigantic tree. So scary.
There were widespread power outages out east, but RVC never lost power, so we quickly packed up and came back home a few weeks early…we are still settling in, but so far so good! Not sure what we are going to do for the holiday weekend yet, but we will figure something out!
I am going to work on uploading some more videos this week, so hopefully I will have some good stuff to share soon :)

Some of my favorites from the professional photo shoot we had on Henry’s 1st Birthday…
Xoxoxoxo
Okay, so I know I already uploaded a bunch of Henry’s party pictures, but we had a multi-day celebration for our little birthday boy :) Here are some pictures of his ACTUAL first birthday!
Opening his presents
Thankfully, he had some help!
She was kissing him and saying “Henry is going to share his presents with me, right Henry?!”
And in typical Henry fashion, he attempted to eat the wrapping paper…
Phew, birthdays are tiring! Time to relax :)
Some birthday support from his sister
More cake?! Lucky boy
Some more attempts at a family picture…proving much harder than it seems :)
Now he is really starting to get the hang of it!
Charlotte likes the multi-day celebration too…that means more cake for her!
Henry looks thrilled to pose with Uncle Ray, haha. I think he wanted out of the high chair :)
Happy boy now that he is clean and out of his chair
Having fun with Mamie
I love birthdays!!! :)
Okay, so tomorrow I am going to share some pictures of our shoot with a professional photographer, and then I will be done with the birthday pictures…I promise!

Okay, so I realize that Henry’s birthday party was over 2 weeks ago, but I am just now getting to upload some of the many pictures we took! I apologize for the photo bomb, but I STILL haven’t sorted through them all…
The cake I made for my baby boy
His birthday hat and bib
The photo banner I made with Henry’s monthly pictures
All dressed up and ready for his party!
Enjoying his balloons!
Some pre-party hugs
Charlotte LOVES parties! She thinks everyone comes to see her :)
Time to blow out the candles, and mommy had the nerve to attempt to put a hat on the birthday boy…
…it lasted for about 4 seconds. Henry wasn’t having any of that!!!
Charlotte and mommy had to help blow out the candle
This is attempt #698 at a family picture…FAIL
Not quite sure what to do with the cake…
Am I supposed to squish it????
Kind of getting the hang of it now…
Neither one of the kids would look at the camera
Cuddles with Aunt Jessica
Getting ready for her performance…
Saying “thank you very much, thank you very much”!
Hugs from Uncle Ray
Birthday parties make Henry tired…
Taking the birthday boy to bed!
Tomorrow I will upload some pictures of his actual birthday. In the words of Charlotte, “I am SUCH a busy mommy!!!!” :)
