Henry is walking! (For real.)

Henry took his first real steps by himself on his 14 month birthday, May 8, 2013. Each day since then he has been slowly working on perfecting his new skill and becoming more adventurous and confident in walking! It won't be long before I am chasing after him! It's amazing to watch him as the he discovers what he is capable of!
Here is a look at the progression in the past ten days!

Spring has (finally) Sprung!

We have had a very cold wintery spring here in the upper Midwest, but now it seems that in mid- May spring is finally here to stay! Since the weather has been warm we have been spending most of our days outside. Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately!

Easter 2013!

We went to Downer's Grove this year for Easter, which was a blast because nearly the entire Sustar gang was there for Easter! We were so thankful that we got to spend lots of time with Henry's cousin's Siena, Libby, and Margaret, and his Aunt and Uncle (and God-parents) Joe and Megan as well as Mary, Patrick and Liam who hosted us!
