Holding Henry and Other Things We Did in August

I thought I'd do a big photo update to show what we've been up to lately.

HOLDING HENRY:
We spend a lot of time doing this. Everyone fights for their turn.

Here's our little man at two weeks old:


And again at three weeks:

And by one month old he was ready to watch his first BYU football game. Go Cougars!





OTHER THINGS WE DID IN AUGUST:

*Said goodbye to family and friends

Here the kids are with Grandma Orva and Uncle David before they left to go back to Utah. We had so much fun while they were here!

That same day we also had to say goodbye to our friends the Bates, who moved to Utah. It was a sad day. I'm hoping that someday we will move or they will move and we will miraculously end up next-door neighbors again like we were meant to be. (Note to the Bates: Lizza wants William back. She asks about you guys daily, and has started mentioning your whole family in her prayers. Just so you know.)


*Relaxed at the pool


*Got thrown in the pool by Dad

Rachel much preferred this:

And was not a big fan of this:

Or this:



*Practiced flag football in the backyard

So we could be ready for this (real football practice):




Tristan's playing tackle now. He loves it. I can't watch.

Oliver started flag this year. He loves it. Daniel coaches him.


*Waited for rain



*And waited for rain some more. . .

*And then played in the rain when it finally came
