full weekend

it's monday and i'm just thrilled to be looking through some of the pictures we took this weekend. i had to post some here, i think they summarize a lot of what has been going on around here. it's a lot of good stuff!

first off, we learned this weekend that henny loves being in the swing. at this age bee didn't like it so much so i think we were surprised and exited to see the sheer joy on his face. that smile got bigger and bigger the faster and higher we pushed him! we got so many amazing shots of him but here are a couple. 


this past weekend was also D's birthday. we had a lovely night out, adults only, which was such a treat. and of course on the big day the kids were up before 6! don't they know that mommy was up late? it was all good because it gave D some time to sleep in while we wrapped presents and made the traditional "cake", which is really a fruit platter with candles. bee was so excited about it all and her enthusiasm made the day so much more fun. her favorite contribution to the celebration was a card with (you won't believe it!!) an elephant driving a car! 
in other news, bee now dresses herself, with her own choice of clothes. this has been a great change in our routine. she disappears into her room and returns dressed, with no arguing or reminding. as you can imagine, this has resulted in some rather interesting choices. this weekend she debuted my favorite outfit so far. she proudly declared that it all matched, "see, all flowers!"
and finally, henny capped off the great weekend with this new trick. the picture says more than words ever could, so here he is:
