Novemberists

I am so excited for the holidays with Henry! I know he wont remember them but I will and I know it's going to be a blast, with extended families and food and love. Eli and I both have to work the day after Thanksgiving this year, him because it's Black Friday and me because we are moving into our new building (the old Hank's furniture store on Rangeline). So I think I might head out early to the Chambers on Thursday to help Mary with the *feast making*. I hope it'll be nice that day because Tim asked if I would take family pictures of the people still living in the house, for the church website. I told him yes, of course, but also I was thinking they haven't had a family picture since people have gotten married and opted for a group picture...I could set up a tri-pod! We shall see, I'm sure it'll work.
I am a little sad I won't get to see the "Starians", but Mom called me the other day and asked if they could come down next weekend!! So that's exciting. Eli and I both have to work, but of course they don't care cause they said they would babysit:) I now longer exist..ha.

my sweetie

You're my little chu-chi face
My coo-chi, coo-chi, woo-chi little chu-chi face
Every time I look at you I sigh
And you're my little teddy bear
My lovey lovey dovey little teddy bear
You're the apfel strudel of mine eye
Your chu-chi woo-chi nose
Your chu-chi woo-chi eyes
They set my heart a flutter
Your ooo-chi coo-chi ways
Your ooo-chi coo-chi gaze
Wilts me down like meltings butter
You're my little chu-chi face
And you're my teddy bear
Together we're a chu-chi woo-chi, ooo-chi coo-chi pair
Whatever you may ask becomes my happy task
I only live to serve you
I never will divine what magic made you mine
I only know I don't deserve you
You're my little chu-chi face
And you're my teddy bear
Together we're a chu-chi woo-chi, ooo-chi coo-chi
Chu-chi, Woo-chi, Ooo-chi, Coo-chi pair
Chu-chi
Woo-chi
Ooo-chi
Coo-chi pair

CCOJ had a tea party for ladies buy Henry was just dying to go:) cousin Ivy was also there in all her glory...I love her. Leanne's little one Kai was there too. Love that hair and the picture where he looks like a little prize fighter..ha so freakin cute he is AH.
Nathan (my brother in law) came later so I thought I would take their family pictures...Bess was there and took some of Hannah and I with our little ones...finally:)

Also I've been back to work this week. It flew by and was alot easier than I thought it would be. Mainly because I knew he was in good hands...Thanks Mary!
I am working for about 3 hours which I could work longer because there is always stuff to do at my job. But I like going in doing my job and leaving...I get something accomplished and still get to be with Henry most of the day. Mary is also watching Sophie my niece who is 2...and she cant seem to grasp that Henry is not Ivy:) This is a normal conversation between her and I:
Sophie: Where is baby Ivy
Me:You mean Henry
Sophie: Hen er y (she makes his name into 3 syllables)
Me: Sophie is Henry a boy or a girl?
Sophie: boy
Sophie: I want to kiss her.
Me: Him
Sophie: Him

I think she'll get it..every once in a while she'll get it right;) oh Sophia you are such a doll!

pondwater eyes

pondwater eyes starring up at me
wondering, caring which way he should be
reading his sounds and listening to his lips
a tiny man with a world at his feet
licking the window from the back seat

i lay awake listening to his playful teasing
it pulls at my heart with much seizing
i think about you day and night
your pondwatery eyes gaze over me
how could i have done something so absolutely right?

so perfect in every which way
ill have to do my best to keep the girlies at bay
you're growing up too fast
killing me softly with those wonderful eyes
slow down to a small ripple, mr pondwater surprise
