An uncle who is ready and willing to play with all his cool old toys--
A Grandpa who takes you on adventures, like checking out the attic--
(Perhaps this photo is blurry because mommy was so nervous. Even more so when she heard Grandpa instruct "now stay on the wood beams- don't step on the white part. It won't hold you.")
Temporary tattoos and a slip-n-slide--
Wearing no shirt all day long on your birthday, sitting outside eating watermelon, looking at the cool comic book your uncle gave you--
Covering your ears and blowing out the candles--
And she's not pictured, but the big sister joined us for the celebration. Tommy and I took her home and I saw her apartment for the first time. I was left with mixed emotions: a little bit excited for her; I remember how it felt to go out on my own, a little bit sad to leave her there alone.
I know that's weird as she hasn't lived with us for months now. I guess old mommy habits die hard.

Happy Birthday, Henry! Looks like a pretty cool celebration.:-)
Wow, her own apartment? Yeah, those days are tough but exciting all at once. And your mommy feelings will never fully go away; might as well accept that one! ;-)
So glad to hear that the weekend went so well for you all. Looks like a lot of fun! Happy Birthday Henry!!!
Aw, happy birthday Henry! I laughed at Tommy's tattoos. Rick is from WV and they all have a saying about blankety-blank buckeyes. (what do they know, they're inbred...) ;-)
Happy happy birthday --- talk about a day of too much fun!
Glad you were able to see her apartment----hope it's the first of more visits.
Happy Birthday! It looks like an absolutely wonderful day!

Happy, Happy Birthday Henry!!!
How is it possible that he is 9 already!!
Happy Birthday Henry! Looks like you had fun!
Awww! How adorable! Is he covering his ears because he thinks the candles will make a noise when he blows them out?
I have a Henry who's a big boy starting sophomore year in college. I love that name and it seems to be getting more popular.
I'm late, but Happy Bday to a true original...
