My new camera and other randomness

I love Sundays.  I love going to church and being home by 12:00 and having the whole day to do whatever we want together.  Today that consisted of staying snug and warm in the house while the inch of ice that covered the ground outside tried to melt.  It would have been a perfect day, too, had Henry been in a better mood.

Granted he’s just getting over an ear infection so I understand he’s a little under the weather. I haven’t been in the best of moods considering we’ve spent much of the last four days stuck at home while we waited for his temperature and runny nose to go away.  But today was especially bad for some reason.  He was particularly demanding and somewhat difficult when we asked him to do things.  Little things like eat and go to sleep.  You know, the basics.  But he wasn’t having it and he let us know as best he could.

It probably didn’t help that I tried to use get him to help me test out my new camera.  I kept asking Henry to sit still – that was almost as impossible as getting the dog to sit still.  Oh well.

In other news… the tags to our new car have come in.  We haven’t been able to pick them up yet, but they’re in.  I know, terribly exciting and just what you wanted to read on a Monday morning.

What can I say?  It’s a slow news day in our household.

And you know what a slow news day means.  Pictures.  Specifically – pictures from Christmas that I never actually got around to posting.  Here are a few highlights from the day.  Henry with one of his new toys.

As expected, Henry was totally spoiled by the grandparents.  But really, isn’t that half the fun?  See that little train set up there?  His Grandpa K made that for him.  By hand.  He also made this little work bench:

Again, by hand.  How cool is that?  Henry loves it.  He loves it so much that he was worn out from playing with it on Christmas morning.  He had to take a break with his Daddy:

My boys are pretty cute, huh?  Speaking of cute… here are the cousins together.  Notice how I couldn’t get them all to look at the camera at once?

And last, but not least, a picture of all the grownups.  Mom had made us matching shirts which were super cute so we had to take some pictures.

So there you have it, my morning of randomness.  I’m hoping that Henry will be 100% better today so that we can actually leave the house and have us some adventures.

If nothing else, so that I have something else to write about this week.

What did you do this weekend?
