henry cracked corn and sweet, sweet sitters

henry tried corn on the cob for the first time-he loved it! he'd only had pureed corn before.

silly guy
every since i went back to work and henry started being cared for by others, we have been so very fortunate to have excellent child care for our angel. my sister is still keeping henry two mornings a week and boy does he LOVE his auntie. and, she sure loves him too! it's so very special to us that they spend quality time together. aunts have always held a dear place in my heart and I know that henry will feel the same way about all of his aunties.

the other times I'm at work we have sitters that keep henry at our house. I am one of those people that believes God places each person/situation/etc. in your path for a reason. and, I believe he has brought us in contact with each of our incredible sitters for a reason too.

Jenny (above) has been keeping Henry this past fall/winter/spring. I can not say enough great things about her, truly I can not. She graduates in May and is moving away to start working ... we are really going to miss her!

Hope (below) kept Henry when he was itty bitty last spring and has kept him one afternoon this winter/spring. She is one outstanding young lady as well. She will be helping out here and there this fall-not as much as we would love for her to, but her schedule is really busy so we'll take what we can get.

both of these ladies not only hold a special place in their hearts for our son, but are also diligently serving others and God. they don't even realize what witnesses they are to both Gary and I. they are such blessings to all three of us and we are very thankful!
