Boston...

For the last few years, Peter and I have traveled to Boston to meet up with Peter's parents and brother's family on Labor Day weekend.  We go to the PGA Tour Deutsche Bank Championship and take in the sights of Boston.  It is admittedly Peter's favorite weekend of the year.  He is like a kid in a candy shop seeing all the golfers and experiencing things up close.  But we also love spending time with the family.

My niece, Mia, lives in Chicago and I don't get to see her very often.  She's my little buddy... :)

Grandma loved spending time with her grandbabies...and Henry loved spending time with her, too.

Can't wait to spend some more time with the WHOLE Von Tobel family in October.  :)

First plane flight...

Henry took his first plane flight Labor Day weekend.  Can't lie that we were a little nervous about how things were going to go.  I usually pride myself at how light I can travel...but I can't boast that any longer.  With the car seat, stroller, diaper bag...there is lot more involved with traveling these days.  Henry did amazing - cried a bit while we were taking off, but slept the rest of the way.  He's getting HEAVY these days and my arm and leg definitely fell asleep, but was happy to have a sleeping child.

More to come about our trip to Boston...

What I love...

 is seeing my two men hanging out.  That will never get old....

Although sometimes Peter clearly doesn't want his picture taken.   :)

Skype...

I'd much rather see a person "in person."  Everyone would probably say that, but I feel much more natural when I'm sitting down with someone over coffee or a meal.  Since having Henry, our distance from family has become even more pronounced and I've hated it.  Skype has been a life-saver and we've been able to have many visits with family and friends.  Can't say it is Peter or I they are wanting to see these days....Henry's been the main attraction.  :)

  Although Henry's not always up for talking and we have to encourage him a bit...

Future Buddies...

A few weeks back, when I was in Indiana, I got to spend a few hours with my college friend and roommate, Lindsay.  Lindsay just had a little boy, Jesse, and has a 2 year old, Asher.  We had such a great time catching up and I loved watching Asher - imagining what Henry will be up to when he's 2 years old. 

What's so funny about this picture is that Henry was the one that was throwing a huge tantrum just moments before...he's as stoic as can be and Jesse is the one who didn't want his picture taken.  Can't wait for them to hang out together in a few years.  :)

Miss you Linds...

Thumb Sucker...

Henry has recently found his thumb.  Sometimes we think that he's sucking a couple of his fingers, but every once in awhile, he finds his thumb.  Don't know how I feel about this yet, but it's cute to see him try and figure it out.  :)

 

 

Henry at 2 months...

Henry was 2 months yesterday.  I honestly CAN'T believe how fast time has flown.  He's smiling, cooing, sucking his thumb (well, kind of...), and has just been so much fun.  Oh yeah, and he's turning into a chunker!  I love this little guy.  :)

Here is our attempt at 2 month pictures...  :)

Here are some of the out-takes...took a little while to get him to pose.  :)

 Seriously, mom...what are you doing to me?
