This summer has been so amazing...we have gotten to become aunts and uncles of three new babies! And also a second cousin to a little guy in Colorado! And this winter we become parents...but for now we are happy to be getting to know our twin nieces and boy cousin born the end of June and our nephew born last week! They are all beautiful, healthy babies and the new mommies and daddies are also doing well!
So I couldn't figure out how to arrange the pictures exactly how I wanted them so they are just going to have to be above my writing. Sorry! But I think you can figure out who is who...
The very top and center is Erik, Lisa and Dylan. Below that one is us and Dylan. To th left and below us are Jenny and Cole's new daughters...Peyton and Ella. I am holding Ella with the proud big sister Naomi. I don't know why there aren't any of Chris...he definitely held them!! Sorry :( We went to visit them in Red Wing the day after they were born. They are by far the smallest babies I have ever held weighing in at 5lbs ad 5.5 lbs I believe!
Almost a month later (and the same night as the Dark Knight came out) Dylan Gregory Henjum entered the world. He is the one posted with the full head of dark hair being held by Chris in that picture. We went to visit him a day after he was born too. It wasn't because we had prebought tickets to one of the best movies of the summer though. (The Dark Knight was amazing though!)He weighed in at 7lbs 1oz and 21 inches long. All the babies had A LOT of visitors during their first couple days of life! What lucky and loved kiddoes already!
Along with meeting all of these babies we have been very busy working on some more home projects (more so Chris than me, I have mostly been busy planning crafts for my wild 2nd and 3rd graders). We will post pictures of our home remodeling soon and some of you will see thema at Chris's 30th bday this weekend! YAY!

We also had a family reunion/gathering with Chris's side of the family since an aunt, uncle and cousin were visiting from California. It was a very fun day full of meeting more babies that his cousins had this spring, playing yard games, rock band, bbqing and catching up.
Mom and I went to a variety of garage sales in River Falls during River Falls Days while the boys worked on Erik and Lisa's bathroom. We had quite a bit of luck too! Chris and I now have a crib, I have some maternity clothes and mom and I both have a few more cook book magazines!
So, like I said the summer has been amazing and very busy! I can't believe August is approaching us so soon. My summer activities program will be done next Thursday so August will consist of helping my sister in laws with their babies, working at the Twins and Caribou Coffee and I recently decided to help my friend of many years make her move to Florida. Chris and I also will be taking a trip to Kansas City to watch the Twins battle the Royals and celebrating our 2 year anniversary!
Hope this finds you all well and you enjoyed the pictures and our lil update of our life!

You have been very busy, Ms. Amy! It's great to hear about all the new babies in your life. Can't wait to hear if your little one will be a boy or a girl!
