Settling in to the Grand US of A

It has been a whirl wind of a few weeks made much easier with the support of my sister and her family and Scott's mom who have all ensured Henry is enjoying the transition.  While Henry has asked to "Go Home" a few times, it looks like he's really having fun here and is adjusting quite quickly to all the changes that include being able to play with his cousins from the second he wakes up to the minute he says Good night, take a few road trips on roads that don't require swerving and honking but, unfortunately, don't have all the cows and goats to point out, and adjusting to a new day care setting without the one to one ratio of child to nanny.  

For this first post in awhile I'll post a few photos from our last few weeks which included a week with my sister and her family getting over jet lag and enjoying the wonderful weather, a week in Baltimore where I worked and Henry bonded with Phyllis who flew in to watch him, a surprise baby shower (no photos though) my colleagues threw for me in Baltimore, and then this past week back with my sister and her family.  Here you go...

Henry and the cousins enjoying together for the first time, with the figurines at hand, an episode of Dinosaur Train:

An afternoon at a beach right near my sister's house

A day outside in great weather.  You'll notice we put them all in Minion shirts :)

 I didn't get too many photos from Baltimore but luckily on the last day I was able to click a few of Gigi and Henry playing, you guessed it, basketball.  Henry STILL tells me about the scratch he got on his knee from "basketball shoot" when he fell after shooting a ball; he's so proud.

Here is Henry so excited for his first day of school.  If only that enthusiasm had lasted through his first short week there...

This weekend we went to a fair at the YMCA complete with a bouncy house, a football throwing area and even a dog petting station.  The kids had a great time.

I expect that now that we are settled in Williamsburg I'll have the camera out more to capture the fun.  

Baba, we miss you!!
