little boy{s} blue

Had a great weekend. Though quite interesting now trying to juggle a need-to-sleep/have-to-feed baby into our social calendar, yes indeedy. We went out bowling last night with a bunch of "young marrieds" from church, Henry getting right into the Glow and Bowl atmosphere. {Sleeping through the first half and being passed around the second!} Feasted on a potluck dessert spread afterwards and a chance to talk, talk, talk with new girlfriends. So nice.

I woke Henry this morning telling him "We're going to a party today ...!" and I can honestly say he erupted in smiles immediately upon hearing that! My department at work treated Leah and I to a joint baby shower today for our boys Bryden and Henry, born just two weeks apart. We were spoiled indeed and of course Katrina and Brandi and hostess Brenda planned and organized a fabulous event. (See Katrina's blog for lots more pictures!) Henry slept throughout much of the afternoon, being passed from one to another and I was given a few hours of baby-less time. Marveling at how big Henry looks now - he's just the perfect baby size. Thank you, thank you to all of you ... we had such a good time!

Sam and I popped Henry in the bath tonight and softened and unwound his second cast, as he sat up and watched curiously just like last week. And can I just say how wonderful his foot looks already, these little changes to straightness. It's amazing. I drive up to Saskatoon tomorrow for his third casting so it's a well organized morning for my boy and I to get on the road in time. I'm so happy he's a car-seat-sleeper so it's a relatively relaxing drive for me. Not having to worry about him in the back.

Off to bed now (10:30pm) as Sam's taken on Little Boy H's last feed of the day. A gift of love from my husband and I'm so, so thankful ...
