Roommate Reunion


After cancelling our trip to visit our Boston roomies after Christmas because Tom ended up having to work, we made a quick, impromptu trip down to Texas to get some much-needed Shaver time (it had been a year and a half since we last laid eyes our our besties from Boston)! Charlie was a trooper on his first airplane ride (slept most of the way down and back!) and Henry LOVED everything about the airport and airplane. We even spent some time in the cockpit after we landed in Dallas so Henry could chat with the pilot!


We left Minnesota on Saturday morning and it was 10 degrees out. We landed in Dallas at noon and it was 65 degrees!!! We spent most of the weekend outside! :)


Henry made a new BFF while we were there! Campbell and Henry were two peas in a pod! :)


Henry insisted on bathing with Campbell! I think Henry showed her a thing or two about splashing that Campbell's parents may wish she hadn't seen!


Charlie turned 5 months while we were visiting!


Before we left on Monday afternoon, we spent some time at the Dallas Arboretum to wear out the kids. Charlie was worn out before we even got there! :)


Henry showed off his knowledge of construction equipment during our walk around the arb.


Eventually Charlie woke up to enjoy the beautiful flowers! :)


Henry got a good work out in by plowing the fields the old-fashioned way.


Courtney proved to be the hostess with the mostess! She cooked, cleaned, planned great outings, and entertained the children!!!


Sweet boy


As you can see, we told the kids to find a hole and stick their finger in it! :)


Three cutie patooties! (Henry and Campbell look more like siblings than Henry and Charlie!)

We had the BEST time visiting our old roomies! We miss them already! Thank you, Shavers, for a great time! :)

CHUB


I love myself a chubby baby!

Charlie-man


Love this pic of our beautiful boy! :)

Rub a dub dub


If you take a bath in two tubs, does that mean you get twice as clean?

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year! We hope 2012 is a great year for all!


We spent a very fun night at the McMahon's! Our party came complete with a pretty fancy ball drop from their ceiling that they somehow rigged up! Both boys were quite the troopers and made it up until we left at 11:45!!!! Never in a million years would we have thought the boys would do so well for so long but with all the kids and fun toys, they were both very entertained!


Finally!


Charlie is officially sleeping in his own room! He loves his crib and wakes up very happy as you can see!

Lego Mania


Henry is obsessed with his Legos! He got several new boxes from Charlie for Christmas. I'm not sure who is enjoying all the Legos more, Henry or his dad!
