Never a dull moment around here...

The kids are doing great and just growing by the day. Ella has graduated into a full blown walker and does not crawl at all anymore. She has just grown so much in the past month and is talking and chattering up a storm. Andrew is also doing well and continues to amaze us with all that he is learning.

As for the Mom and Dad of the group, we are doing well and got some rather unexpected but very exciting news. I have not been feeling well for weeks and we officially found out the reason to my belly aches and tiredness. Another little Hensley is on the way...a little sooner than we expected but none the less welcomed! We had our first prenatal appointment today and all went well. This little one is scheduled to make an appearance around December 10th. It will be quite a busy holiday season with a 3 year old, one year old, and a newborn. Wow!! It makes me tired just typing that. Haha!




Here are some new pictures of the kids.

Quick update and Birthday Party Pics!

Andrew had another accident free day!!!! Yippee!! We even had a few errands to run and he stayed dry and went peepee at the doctor's office. Woohoo!! Andrew had his three year check up today and it went great. He was so good and went willingly with the nurse to get his hearing and eyes checked. The nurse said she was amazed with how well he followed directions. He listened so well and just made friends the whole way there and back. He weighed 37 pounds (90th percentile) and measured 38 1/4 inches (75th percentile). And everything checked out just fine.

Here are some pictures from our "Hurricane Party"...oh, I am mean birthday party. It was SO windy that day. We couldn't get any of the decorations to stay or the table clothes to stay on, the presents were blowing off the table, and guests literally had to eat with one hand on their plate or it would have been flying away. Other than that the kids had a blast and Ella enjoyed her cake. Andrew picked to have a Star Wars cake and Ella had a princess cake. What a combo, huh? Can't say there are many more years where we will be able to get away with that. We had it at a park and the kids were able to play on the playground so that kept them entertained. It was a great day, other than the wind.

Here is a video of everyone singing Happy Birthday to them:

Accident Free Day!!!!

Andrew had absolutely no accidents today and asked to go on the potty the majority of the time! Yippee!! He also woke up dry this morning and then went right to the potty and peed. So the potty training is going great and he seems to be really excited about it. Keep up the good work Andrew!! Now...if only Ella would follow the lead with her sleeping. Yes, at a year old we are still battling with her some nights. Go to sleep Ella!!!!
