So, I changed the address of the blog. (http://kevin.knrhenry.com/) I though that it would work out better anyways. I will be separating my posts from Reighlyn's and putting hers in her own blog.

Here are a few pictures of Samuel Mark Henry born 2:06 am EDT March 15, 2009.He was 9 lbs 4 ozs and 21.5" long.

Finally Fall

2008-12-17T15:45:00.003-05:00

Here are a few of our little cuties enjoying a crisp fall day in our back yard. Cute, cute, cute! Unfortunately it was so crisp that the kids were freezing at the end of the last picture and we had to head in after a small snow flurry started up. Notice the rair photo of Patrick showing his teeth!

Costume, what costume? I'm not wearing a costume.

2008-11-30T18:18:00.008-05:00

Some of our friends here gave us a whole kitchen garbage bag full of old halloween costumes so the boys got to play with costumes all of Halloween day. They had a blast and here is a few pictures of their fun. (note: We already had the green alien super-hero and black alley-cat costumes in first photo.)

"Elves mean toys!"

2008-11-27T11:58:00.002-05:00

This was chanted several times today as Santa Claus was shown in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Can you guess what my boys are excited for?

Family Photos

2008-07-25T00:15:00.003-04:00

We had our family photos taken by a family friend on Sunday. We just got the pictures on CD today, and uploaded them to Wal*Mart's photo center website. If you didn't get an invitation to view the album, let me know and I can send you one (unless you are some random person roaming the Internet that I don't know).

Alma-isms

2008-07-06T13:02:00.002-04:00

These last few weeks have brought out a few Alma-isms. These are saying directly quoted from Alma that produce a small chuckle.1. After his ears popped from being congested all day, he said, "Mommy, when I have a big, big yawn, it turns on my better listening ears!"2. When Patrick picked Alma to assist him in saying his night prayers, Alma came out of the room in the middle of the prayer.

Leafy Beauty And The Family That Goes Looking For It

2008-06-30T17:49:00.005-04:00

Well, we are up to November 2007 now and here is a shot of the beautifully coloring trees that we live by: Here is Pac being sad because he couldn't get out of the car by the side of the road like Daddy did to take the picture of the trees (he is an adorable and passionate cryer, you really feel for him when you look at his sad face, even if it is a tantrum): And here's Pac a second later,

Looking To The Future

2008-06-30T17:39:00.004-04:00

Does anyone else see little future missionaries pausing at my door? I love the way they are both looking forward and standing right on the brink of the next step they'll take. What they are looking at is something new and unknown, but they are not afraid, they are prepared and ready. They are mearly taking a pause before they continue on, full speed ahead. Because with my boys, it always seems

And The World Keeps Turning...

2008-06-30T17:32:00.002-04:00

Or should it be called: Portrait of a Modern Mother? This is me doing a million things at once. I particularly like the tornato-like look of Patrick whizzing by while I try to check my e-mails as a quick break.

Happy Unbirthday To...Lamby?

2008-06-30T17:17:00.004-04:00

The boys wanted to have a birthday party, but it wasn't anybody's actual birthday. So, we made some party hats and took some pictures: Alma's Hat falling off: Here Patrick is not wanting the share the little water push-button game we decided to play at our party: Here Patrick is repentant for his meanness and offering to share again: Here is the star of the show, Lamby, Pac's favorite

Pumpkin Carvin'

2008-06-30T16:50:00.003-04:00

While Kevin carved a carefully drawn wonderfully classic pumpkin before I took the boys out trick-or-treating around our neighborhood, the boys carved out an original creative design with markers on theirs. Unfortunately we have no pictures documenting the finished projects. So these masterpieces will ever go down in history as the unfinished works seen here:

A Brief Pause for Sweet Child Moments

2008-06-30T16:23:00.005-04:00

These pictures are from back in October 2007 still, because I'd separated out some photos to be posted and just never got around to doing it and, well, I think they are cute and I already separated them out so I'm going to post them anyway! Even if they are very late.Here is Pac napping for one of the last times in the crib. He was just getting way to big for it, but in this picture he still

The Story about the $50.

2008-06-20T10:13:00.005-04:00

For those of you that don't know and need some background, since January we have been trying to stay on Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover plan (get more info at http://www.daveramsey.com/). Since then we have been not charging anything on our credit cards and trying to pay all our debt off. We have been debating for a while whether to sell our car and buy a cheaper one or not. Well, this last

$50

2008-06-17T00:24:00.002-04:00

We spent fifty dollars today and got rid of almost $9,000 worth of debt! It's a long story, so I will elaborate later since it is late.Just thought you all might be proud!

I have no job.

2008-05-09T23:55:00.002-04:00

Now before you get too worried, it is just for the weekend. You see, I was offered a government position and my first day as a government worker is Monday. So, of course I needed to resign as a contractor. So just for the weekend, I technically have no job. I will however get only half a paycheck next payday because of the offset in pay periods between the contractor and the government. I

Opening Day #2

2008-04-19T22:14:00.005-04:00

I went Fishing this morning for the second opening day of the Trout Season here. They have two stockings, so therefore two opening days. Before I explain what happened today, let me tell you about opening day #1.I wanted to go early in the morning. The Creek was opened officially at 5:30 in the morning. I slept in until about 8, then I went up and sat on the side of the creek watching everyone

So... I guess I've been tagged.

One comment on the randomness of the things that could count as random:Although randomness implies no pattern or order, one can argue that any sequence of things could be randomly generated. This would mean that some things that one would say are not random truely could be, so it shouldn't matter how random others think your things are, but if you yourself generated them in a random way.On that

Alley Cats, Robots, and Trick-or-Treating! Oh, My!

2008-02-04T00:47:00.000-05:00

"I'm an Alley Cat!" <--Name that movie. Complete with bandaged tail, this homemade creation that my mom made for my older brother to wear when I was just a baby, (Sorry Mom, I somehow lost the black mittens.) was Patrick's first of many choices of costumes. Patrick loved to pretend to be each thing we asked him if he was interested in dressing up as, but since we had this costume and it fit him

A Culturizing Day

2008-02-04T00:35:00.000-05:00

Baltimore Museum of Art with friends: Katri (Mom), Sami, and Amber Lein, also Campbell Anderson. The inside was great. The mini replicas of Victorian homes was the favorite, next to the outdoor "art garden". The latter was the very best because we could all run and touch everything. Oct. 2007

Biggest Fish Award

2008-02-03T23:45:00.000-05:00

This is the biggest fish that Kevin caught this year, it was in the middle of October. It's a big ol' catfish and it almost got away when the line broke as it was within a foot of the shore, so we scooped it up with the cooler and managed to bring it home! Alma and Patrick were jumping up and down saying, "Go Daddy Go!" Way to go Kevin!

And the scarring continues...We only went to the church building for one session of the General Conference this fall and we came home with blood spilled. That doesn't happen much in North America nowadays, does it?Well, so here is the story: As we were getting ready to leave Patrick decided to jump from one folding chair, next to the last pew in the chapel, onto another folding chair next to it

Fishy Love in September

2008-02-03T22:01:00.000-05:00

Kevin and Alma have loved fishing this year, since they both got fishing poles for their birthdays (2 weeks apart) back in May and June, so here is a couple of pictures of the proud fishermen with one of their prizes from a Saturday evening adventure.

Name that photo!

2008-02-03T21:47:00.000-05:00

These two photos are really cute and fun, but I can't quite figure out what to title them, so if anybody has any suggestions we would love to hear them. The one of Alma is of him making a hand sign that his Uncle Christopher taught him--or it might have been Aunt Becky, I can't remember anymore--, and the one of Patrick is his expectant, sneaky joy caused by him stealing the bag of raisins from

What would you do for your brother?

2007-07-01T18:13:00.000-04:00

Catch a 27 inch TV with your nose maybe? Well, guess what? Alma would. Well, he did it this last Friday anyway, weither he wanted to or not is still up for debate. Here are some before and after pictures and then I'll tell the story... This first picture was obviously afterwards.This of Patrick and Alma after playing in the sprinklers is a before of Alma's nose. Here is an after side shot.

First Family Camping Trip of 2007

2007-06-20T13:29:00.000-04:00

This is only the first FAMILY camping trip. Both Alma and Patrick already attended the Father/Son Campout earlier this year. We went with our good friends here (Katri-mom, Sami-5 year old girl, and Amber- 6wks younger than Patrick). We went to Loam's Pond, in Deleware. It is about a 45 min. drive from us and is East of us. We used our friend's camera for most of the trip because it is better than

Something Old, Something New

In celebration of Alma's 3rd birthday and his one week anniversary of him being out of diapers full time we took a picture of him on his way into church.Here Alma is with his Daddy. He is sporting is new "Big Boy Tie" which I actually bought to cut down for him, but he loved it so much that we let him wear it the way it was for his birthday. Here is Alma showing off his new tie in his Nursery

A Little Cuteness To Brighten The Day

2007-06-20T12:36:00.000-04:00

Oh, right. Most people want to see the kids! I remember that now. Well, here is some of that cuteness too.... That was Alma and Patrick just after they'd been cleaned up from Kevin's birthday cake. Too bad we didn't get any pictures of them with the cake still on! Oh, well, Maybe next time.

To Go or Not To Go?

2007-06-18T00:42:00.000-04:00

We have decided To Go. To the Henry Family Reunion that is. So, we just got the tickets! Yeah! We will be arriving on Tuesday and leave on Tuesday (not the same Tuesday, of course!). More details to come...

Sorry, no typey

2007-04-30T23:41:00.000-04:00

It's just late at night now and we need to get to bed.Love y'all,Kevin

Pumpkin Patch

2005-10-16T18:46:00.001-04:00

We went out to a local pumpkin patch this last Saturday and found us a couple of pumpkins. We went on a hayride to the field and then walked in the mud til Alma found the perfect one, he was very cute! The "perfect one" by the way means one that he could pick up, wasn't rotten, and made a nice thumping sound when he wacked it a couple of times. Mostly that he could pick it up though. We took a

Family Update Oct 2005

2005-10-02T20:28:00.000-04:00

We are doing very well here in Maryland. We really like the East Coast and the closeness of the historic locations from our town. The most recent place we visited was the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July. That was only 2 ½ hours to drive to! Kevin is still loving his job. He gets to have fun doing things he likes all day and is required to take every other Friday off! Oh

Father and Son Outing

2005-05-15T21:13:00.000-04:00

Sorry it's been a week since it actually happened, but I thought I'd do it now before I forgot. Last Weekend, Alma and I went to the Ward's Father and Son campout. It was at Susquehanna State Park here in Maryland. Just up the river from where it empties into the bay. We had a fun time, until it was time for his nap. Apparently he thought he would miss out on some fun. So after a while of
