Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend this year we went down to Braddyville to surprise Dustin's family with a visit. It was Dustin's grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary so we decided to make the trip down to surprise them. We first surprised Dustin's mom at her school Thursday and she showed Halleigh off to all of her coworkers. After that we surprised Dustin's grandparents.

Friday morning we went to Dustin's dad's house and surprised that part of the family. Most of the kids had not met Halleigh yet so it was fun for them. That afternoon we waited to surprise Dustin's sister Kylie at their grandparent's house. She was also surprised but said she was suspicious of all the phone calls Dustin and Phyllis had made to her that day.

The whole weekend was spent getting stuff ready for the party on Sunday. There was tons of great food! We left Monday morning and stopped at our good friends the Johnson's house in Lehigh, Iowa on our way home. Lucy was born a day after Halleigh so it was neat to compare the two girls. After eating lunch we made our way home and had dinner at Cortney's parent's house. The weekend was a blast but now it is back to work. Cortney started her new job at Target in the pharmacy on Tuesday and we are crossing our fingers that Dustin will start his new job next week :)

Video Games and Boogers

This past week has been a busy one for Halleigh. On Mother's Day we went to Kris', Cortney's mom's cousin, for a BBQ after the Race for the Cure. Halleigh got to me Aunt Fay who has been dying to meet her ever since she was born. She also got to meet Great Great Aunt Francis, Great Great Uncle Bill and lots of cousins (twice and third times removed?).

During the week we just hung out like usual. We made some trips over to see Grandma Kim and Grandpa Jim. Uncle Nick even showed up a few times too! Uncle Nick thought Halleigh liked the word booger so he kept saying it over and over to her. One time after he said it she made a sound that everyone thought sounded like booger. Of course it was just a coo but it was perfect timing so now Uncle Nick thinks Halleigh's first word is booger.

Halleigh is doing awesome; we could not have asked for a better child! She is an awesome eater and sleeper. We usually get a 5-7 hour uninterrupted sleep at night :) She likes to listen to people talk; we usually read her a book before we go to bed and Grandma Kim has long "talks" with Halleigh when she sees her.

Lastly, we thought we'd show you a picture of how Halleigh "helps" her dad play his video games:

She's here!

Halleigh Ann Henry was born on Tuesday, April 21st at 9:04am. She weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long. She is a very healthy girl and we are totally loving spending time with her. We have tons of pictures but we picked our favorites.
