Easter Is Approaching

The past few months have just flown by for our family. It seems like yesterday we were celebrating Henry’s first Christmas. As Easter is fast approaching, we wanted to send our love to our faithful friends and family and also our apologies for not being more diligent in keeping you updated with recent photographs. Henry has gone through many wonderful changes these past few months. Now we understand what people mean when they say they grow up so fast. It is bittersweet but we are enjoying every step of the way. Henry has mastered eating stage one “solid” foods, sitting up, rolling over and is on the verge of crawling. He is such a delight and it is nearly impossible for us to take our attention away from him. Last Sunday he was even singing in church! The sound of his laughter is the greatest gift. He is learning so much in such a short period of time!

In February, we took our first family vacation to Pittsburgh. The Lord blessed us with a safe trip and a wonderful time spent with our family. Henry got to meet his second cousins and great uncle for the first time. It was tough saying goodbye to the ones we loved. Henry has expressed his interest in seeing Pittsburgh in the summer, so hopefully we will get to visit again very soon.

The week after our vacation Henry was baptized at Community United Methodist Church where we were married. Henry rather enjoyed the water on his forehead but was not quite sure why he was not allowed to dip his feet in the bowl. Pastor Brad made a special mention during the ceremony of Henry’s middle name. (It took a few inquiries from our church before they believed us.) It was very amusing. Henry was a good boy and thoroughly enjoyed all the attention.

Thank you to all of our friends and family who were able to join us for the special celebration.
Henry wants to send his love and thanks to Jessica and Czerton for making the trip from NYC to participate in the ceremony. He understands how tired they must have been to make this last journey before settling into their new home.

We hope this update finds everyone doing well and staying happy. We send our blessings to you all.

P.S. Henry has six teeth. There are four teeth on the bottom, two on the top and 2 more on the way.
