To Charlotte and Back
May 21, 2008 – 1:07 pm
Jared and I took Win and Harriet to North Carolina for a long weekend. Jared’s brother Jamie builds beautiful homes in Charlotte and his company wanted professional images for their website and clients. I spent the weekend with shooting homes with Jamie. Jared, Win and Harriet played with Aunt Sarah and cousins Jordan and Stella. We all had a great time!
Jamie and Sarah have a really cute home that they just moved into. Win, who has a little bit of a problem falling asleep when anything remotely fun could be happening, is used to sleeping in a very dark room with no toys. He’s just really distractible. For the weekend he bunked with 3-year-old cousin Jordan. Jordan sleeps with the lights dim, music on and toys around. He couldn’t believe his fortune. Not only did he have things to do in bed, but a cousin to talk to too. He began dashing to bed for bedtime.
During the first night, at 4:30am, the whole house woke up to electric tones of “Hi, I’m Nemo.” Jared and I looked at each other and said, “Crap! Win found a toy.” Jared took care of it and got him settled down. All was quiet for about 3 minutes until Win heard the sound of a siren. He started saying “Weuo, weou, weou, Ambulance” to which Jordan, the 3-year-old, began clarifying, “Win, it could be a fire truck, OR a police car.” Win was then extracted from the room waking Harriet and Stella from their respective sleeps. The whole house was up. Jared was able to get Win back to sleep for a little bit but all 4 adults, Harriet and Stella were up fro the day. The next night we turned out the lights after the toddlers were asleep.
This is Jordan.
Little sister Stella.
Win loved climbing on the cart that was parked in our gate. 
Quote for the day:
We’ve been teaching Win about last names lately. I asked Win, “Is your cousin Stella a Henderson?” He responded, “No! Stella’s pretty.”
Magic Moment

We had a great time this weekend in Detroit with Jared’s family.
Here’s Win checking his blind spot before changing lanes.
This is Eden, the second oldest of the 11 grandkids.
We told Win to go give Eden a kiss. I love how he took a second to gently brush away her hair.
This one has a move-like pre-kiss quality to it. Oh no! Am I turning into Angela from The Office? Am I starting to like kids posed in adult scenes? Win really likes giving kisses. They are usually pretty cold and wet.
Jan made a delicious!!! dinner that we all enjoyed on the porch. Ahhh, I really like the spring.
Jared’s Grandma stopped by for about an hour. We gathered a couple of great-grandkids around her for a photo op’. They were all pretty wiggly.
I found a baby squirrel and couldn’t help taking a picture of it. He was really little and very slow, which is probably why I was able to photograph him.
WARNING! low quality images ahead

My camera is on vacation in New Jersey getting it’s meter adjusted. Think camera spa.
Win was being cute, lining up all of the bears and reading. The light was low and all that I had was our 5-year-old point and shoot. It gets the point across though. I’ll keep ya’ll up to date with regular posts, videos, etc… The image quality is going to suffer a bit. Please forgive.

Do you guys remember this? Harriet has been enjoying toys so much more now that she has figured out how to hold them…sort of. She is almost exactly one month older than Win was in those pictures.
BEAR MAULED BY BABY
February 4, 2008 – 10:14 pm
It must be Redwings season. This afternoon another super cute knit bear arrived for Harriet. My mother-in-law knits while cheering on the Redwings. She been cranking out cute striped bears.
When introduced Harriet’s instinct kicked in. She mauled him. 
Inspected him.
Hugged him.
Their relationship was going a little too fast for her. He began getting in her personal space.
But they made up.
