sunny days

Henry is still on the upswing and doing well! not 100% but SO much better. I'm thankful that all of the virus gunk happened within the last two weeks and not the upcoming two weeks because Henry starts preschool on Tuesday. He has "Meet the Teacher" day tomorrow and will be going to Grace Methodist Preschool here in Auburn on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8-11:30am. It is a sweet little school and a smaller program, which I like. I really don't care if Henry learns his ABCs, to count, shapes, etc., this year, as long as the program is fostering a gentle, kind and giving spirit, creativity, and obedience. That is what is most important to me at this point ... the rest will come later. Gary and I both think he will really enjoy it! Our new babysitter, Sally Anne, starts this week too ... she will be keeping Henry on Tues/Wed/Thurs afternoons. She seems like a wonderful Christian young lady and we are looking forward to getting to know her.

Sunday was a beautiful day, wasn't it? We took Henry and the dogs for a long walk. Gary rigged up a leash that allowed for one person to walk the three sporting dogs. He walked them and I walked the herding group, Shelby, and pushed Henry. Below is the view from behind. Too cute!

On Saturday there was a baby shower for Nancy. It was great to have almost all of our old crew from college all in one place! Several gals brought their little ones, which was so fun. Catherine Ellis, Megann's adorable baby girl, is pictured below. All of the baby girls were so good! Nancy is less than a month away from welcoming Dalton Ruth. We are very excited for them!
