Wow! How quickly two months pass!
Henry is now a big bouncy 6 month old and crawling around. He started day care two weeks ago and we seem to be getting him into a pattern. He is getting his two bottomw front teeth and eating lots of mushy foods. He even tried animal crackers and enjoyed them a lot!

That almost sums up everything we've been up to. I hate summarizing like that, but it can be fun as a memory exercise. I'll try to update more often. Especially since so many people read this!

Went to Pensacola this weekend...finally! We ate at McGuire's during a torrential rain storm and all got soaked on the run to the car. The weather was super nice otherwise. We took Dad and Martin to the navy base to wander around Fort Barrancas. Both of them had never been but I think they thought it was interesting. We also drove to Ono Island to see Polly and her two boys. We ate ice cream sandwiches, jumped into the sand and played with the fancy steam shower. I played on my old piano a bit and decided to take my piano books back to IL with me and Martin is going to set up his keyboard so I can play. Not quite the same thing as my parents' piano, but it's a start. I will now be looking for fun and different garden supply shops in the Chicago area after finding more inspiration at Duh - the landscape/interior design store that did the flowers and stuff for my wedding. If you're in Pensacola, check it out.
