Here is Papa trying to get Henry to sleep but Henry wasn't acting too sleepy! Pap a did get him to calm down. Henry is sooo smiley ! He is such a joy to play with - he is very entertained by his Jungle Gym! He kicks one of the sides to get the lightning bug to light up. It doesn't take much to entertain this Nana !

This past week was challenging. The weather was HOT, HOT, HOT & we were so thankful to have air conditioning!! However, on Monday our water heater went out & after trying to fix it, Rich came to the conclusion that it needed to be replaced. He got a new water heater & before he put in the new one, he disconnected the heater/air conditioner. Once he got the new one in, he couldn't get the air conditioner to work & oh yes, the hot water heater didn't work either. Eventually he was able to get someone to come out (on Friday) to fix both (he had done a good job installing everything just a minor adjustment by the professional - for a $75 fee). Finally by Thursday late afternoon we had hot water & air conditioning!!!! What a relief! I do not like 104 degree days! The weather is cooler now but we are still thankful to have everything up and running.

I know it seems that all I write about is Henry but I couldn't resist putting these pictures on my blog. Becca and Brent had his six week old pictures taken today. I don't know why his skin color looks different in the two pictures - I think that was our scanner's fault. Anyway, we think that he is a doll!

I babysat for Henry today while Becca had her second day back to work. Yesterday Brent's mom, Bridget, took care of him. Becca only worked until 1 p.m. so it wasn't too bad - she was so glad to see him when she got home! Henry and Nana had a good time!!

Henry is smiling alot now. He is also cooing and making cute baby noises! It is fun to interact with him- singing songs & rhymes, making funny faces, and talking to him! He is so much more alert and responsive now! Today we had some friends over for lunch who were close to Hollie and Becca in high school and college. Amanda and BJ Bourn moved to Washington so that BJ could go to seminary. Becca, Brent, Henry, BJ, Amanda, Iyana (their daughter) and BJ's mom, Kara, came over along with Kelly's friend, Andrew. We had a fun afternoon. Iyana loved Henry & Henry loved the attention!!
