The final Surgery is Over

I am glad to say that Ethan's final surgery is over. He made it through both like a trooper. Let me say that he reacts to the anesthesia just like me...mad as heck when he woke up. He is not a fan of having his blood pressure taken nor having things taped to him. I finally had to beg the nurse to take both of them off. So hopefully, we can stay away from the hospitals for a while!!

The Best of the Best!!

How handsome is he?

I have come to the conclusion that we will have a scratch somewhere on one of them in each picture. They both thought it was pretty cool to ge to see the horses.

We have the same birthday!!!

Alan, I love that you never question if she can get on the horse...you just do it. Being a little afraid of horses myself, it makes me nervous to allow Abby to ride. That being said, unless you on the horse...she is not getting on!! She loves coming to your house because she knows she will get special attention from you. Thank you Alan for treating her like your own.

So here we go again...

Because I am unable to post during the day anymore, I will be posting at this website. Our world has been in a spin lately in that Ethan is not eating nor drinking that much. :( We have been on Pedialite since Saturday night and has been filling his diapers more than EVER before. We have all passed around a cold and now Abby is saying her foot hurts. When I called mom to see if I complained this much...she just laughed. That is not a good sign of things to come!

On to good things, Abby turned three and she is such a princess!!She loves to talk and argue over if the light is green or red, should we turn this way or that, and if I miss a page in a book...she doesn't forget it!! I hope to get her into school this Fall, because I know she is ready to learn new things.

Ethan has four teeth and more to come (soon because his gums look horrible). He is walking everywhere and if you ask him to give you "five" he will say tickle tickle tickle...ask Jeremy why.

I will post a few pictures later of the last few months and promise to do better at updating this blog!!

I love this picture

It is official...

Don't send a lame Starring You! eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

Possible switching to Xanga...

To all of my faithful readers....due to the name of this blog, I will be trying out Xanga to include Ethan. I am not sure I will switch for sure, but to make it easier for my Xanga friends, I think this might be best.

Bookmark http://www.xanga.com/phende0621 to check out. I will keep this site up until I know for sure what the plan is!

Love you guys,

Do you hear what I hear???

Ethan has been crying more and more these days. Abby has been a trooper although you can find her fake crying every now and then for attention. These days we are only using the paci for bed time and working on potty training. She is doing pretty good on both. We still have a way to go though!

My New "House"

Abby loves her new "House" given to her by her friend Rachael and Rebekah. No matter how cold we must go in almost every day and play!! Thank you!!

Fear Nothing...

Abby had a blast playing on Uncle Allan's play house. She would do whatever John Riley would do....so up she went. Up this old ladder to the playhouse she went all by herself (ok, I was very close by), down the slide (only slightly rusted) and would even pretend in the clubhouse (six feet off the ground). She fears nothing. Much like John Riley. Someone mentioned being afraid and John Riley said, there is not need to be afraid...God is always with you. I must mention that this was our first Thanksgiving without our grandmother. Grandma Johnnie would have said the same thing...in her own words. When I heard John Riley confort someone by telling them about God...I could hear Grandma Johnnie praying before the big Thanksgiving meal..praying for the souls of her family..each and every one..before it is ever lasting too late. So we were not without Grandma this year...she was there the whole time.

Happy Thanksgiving!

All Bundled Up

Ethan certainly didn't lack attention this Thanksgiving! Thank you Shelly for his First Thanksgiving outfit...I will get a better picture of him in the outfit than this for you!!

Life is a little busy these days!!

Life as we knew it is no more! Just the other night Ethan woke up at 2:00 AM and then Abby at 3:00 and then Ethan again at 4:00AM. I had forgotten how little sleep one must have to get by!

I love my Uncle Bryan!!

Abby Grace loves her uncle Bryan...she calls him by name almost every day. We have a family picture in our dining room and she always confirms that is her uncle Bryan. She loves everything about him. She even tried to remove the hair from his chin to put it on his head just so he would have some on his head!!

A Proud Daddy

Ethan Andrew Henderson

Ethan arrived Friday the 2nd at 10:28 PM. I would say this was a much different experience than with Abby. He was ready to come into this world...We arrived at the hospital around 7:30 and at 10:28 there was no stopping him. We had to wait on the Dr. to arrive and one push later here he was!

He is simply beautiful.

I'm a Big Sis!!

I just want you to see how big Abby is getting!! Isn't she beautiful?

Phew, this is hard work!

Little did she know..there weren't any pumpkins in her wagon!!

Pumpkins everywhere!!

Abby thought they were balls so after a few damaged pumpkins we decided to move on!! :)

Only a Princess....

Would blow kisses from her John Deere Tractor.

Thank you Poppy!!

I love my Halloween outfit Poppy got me. Not sure if you can tell what it says, but "Who needs a Costume when you are already a Princess?"

The Driver of the Bus says,

Sshhh, Sshhh, Sshhh!! I love singing with my memaw. Oooh, and I love Copper....that is memaw's dog. Copper gets more treats when I am there than ever. So every day I am certain to ask mommy if Copper can have "tweet" (treat).

I love my Daddy!!

Super Star!!

Rain, Rain Go Away

This is the first time that we played in the rain!! She thought it was funny to dip her hair in the water!!
