We've been living in North Salt Lake for about five months now. We're starting to feel a little more established, and it is wonderful. Henry has become a little sumo baby. Seriously. He is a big fatso, and I love it. I can't get over it, and it makes me really happy. That may be a silly thing to be excited about, but since Gabe was tiny and sick the first month of his life, it's really awesome to have a healthy baby, and not have to worry about that kind of stuff. The first picture is Gabe when he is about two months old. The second picture is Henry right now (5 weeks, 3 days). No, the squares on the blanket did not get smaller. Henry is just that much bigger. Count the squares down and across. Gabe's foot would be about the same place that Henry's leg starts.
We've started calling Henry "Rolly" after the puppy in 101 Dalmations.
Anyway, it's awesome, and we love Henry. Gabe can say his name, and he is very proud and protective of his new baby. When we were in the hospital, and Henry was taken out of my room to get his hearing tested, Gabe was real mad at the lady for trying to steal our baby. Oh man, the wrath of a two-year-old. Haha. It's tough love around here. Gabe loves him so much, he sits on him, pokes him in the eye, and tries to force toys in his mouth and hands. Gabe has gotten really fun to play with lately too. We went to the park yesterday, and he was so excited. There were a ton of other kids there, and the giggling echoing through the slides was contagious. It was really cute. Gabe loved the swing, and wanted to go higher. He's really good at tricky ladders, and likes to show off. :) Here are a few pictures from our outing:

Weather has been really nice here. It's been in the 50s and 60s the last few days. It's something that I'm told is unusual for Utah, but I'm not complaining.
And... here are some more pictures of Henry and Gabe. Enjoy. :)
I hope everybody is doing well! It would be awesome to get the blog going again.
Love,
Emma, Evan, Gabe and Henry :)
