And the beat goes on...

Things have been busy here in the Zenk household. I've been kept on my toes chasing after my beautifully active Henry while trying to satisfy Jefferson's need to be held (a new experience since Henry never was a snuggler). Bobby has been very busy with a myriad of things--namely, full-time school plus work during the week, and after all that, he's been making weekly trips to Texas to work weekends in order to get a jump start on things. So, the past couple of months have been hectic, but they have been great for us as we've anticipated our move and have been getting in last minute visits with friends and family. Here are a few pictures from the past month of Bobby and the boys (somehow I wind up always taking the pictures and rarely make my way into them--I'll work on that!). Enjoy!
I came outside and saw these two sitting together on the swing having some father/son time. I sure love these two!
This is Henry's new favorite spot--the dog's water bowl. He loves standing in it, stirring it (with anything/everything), dumping it out and splashing in it, and even (heaven forbid...) pretending he's a dog (yes... on hands and knees) and drinking from it.
This is our growing Jefferson! Now that his vision has improved, he really looks things over and studies them--it's cute to watch him see things and people for the first time. He is such a good, sweet little baby!
This is Henry and his cousin Jasper. They had fun playing together a couple of weeks ago when Jasper came to visit.
And last but not least, this is what a typical morning at our house looks like before Bobby leaves for the day. I am so incredibly lucky and blessed to be married to a man who adores his children as much as they adore him. He is a wonderful husband and father and we love and appreciate him so much. I love you Bobby!

First Popsicle of the Season

We've had a hard time with the weather here going back and forth but now that it's finally warmed up, Henry took the opportunity a few days ago to down a fruit bar-which always makes for a good picture :)





Mother's Day

I had such a wonderful time sharing this Mother's Day with Bobby and the boys--it was was an awesome feeling knowing that we were our own little family. Bobby gave me Willow Tree statues of the boys (which I LOVE! thank you Babe ;)) to match a wedding gift we received when we got married. Everyone was happy just being together--it was fun :) Here is a picture of Henry talking to Grandma Susan on the phone, and Jefferson showing us his eyes!

Rolled Oats

So, the other day I was reading my friend Chrissy's blog where she had posted super cute pictures of her little guy (practically Henry's age) neatly transferring dry oatmeal from one bowl to another on the kitchen floor. I thought the idea was GREAT and decided to try it out for myself. This is how it turned out:



It actually kept Henry busy for a LONG time, so it turned out to be a GREAT activity (like I thought!) even though it didn't stay in (or near) the bowls. :)
