Babies, Puppies, Road Trips Oh My!

I had a mini vacation this weekend while Casey and Henry had a guys weekend. My friend Kari and I drove down to Des Moines. I wish I had taken pictures...but sadly I forgot. Friday night I spent with my good friend from college, Jessica and her husband Derek. Saturday I spent with my friend Betsy and her fiance Blake. It was fun weekend filled with wedding planning and LOTS of much needed catching up!!!! I'm so glad I was able to make the short trip.

Sunday we had my brother and Angie over for a pre-Super Bowl lunch of sloppy joes, chips & dip, spinach puffs, bbq meatballs AND grapes/apples (we thought it would be good to throw something healthy in the mix). Henry was spoiled with a nice bone and fun lion chew toy from Uncle Matt and Aunt Angie :) He loves them both! Here are few pics from the afternoon. Leah is moving around so much these days! Soon enough I'm sure it will be hard for us to keep up.







Matt and Henry also had a good romp and soon enough Henry went into his "den" (aka under the couch). Thanks Matt for wearing him out!


All in all it was a busy but fun weekend. Tonight (Monday) has been spent catching up but I was able to get a small video to show off some of Henry's skills.
He's only been with us for two weeks but has gained about 6 lbs! (He came to us at 9 lbs) We both agree that having a puppy is a lot more work than we expected but we can't deny that he has a big spot in our hearts already. Anyways...he's pretty calm in this video - which is pretty unheard of but enjoy the show!
