Apple Pie Day 2009

Today was annual apple pie day at the Henson house! What a difference a year makes! James is such a big and busy boy this year. He kept us all on our toes! He loves apples and devoured 1 in our photo shoot and another right after. I told him 2 apples were enough for an 18 month old. We all took turns helping out with James while the pies got made. We all had our usual jobs; Mom-crust, Todd, Seth or Dad- Apple peeling, Jennifer-Apple pie assembly. Here is the recipe.

Zoo

James and I met Jami and Morgan at the Zoo last week. It was just a beautiful day and we had the place to ourselves. We walked all through Africa and the kids were so good just looking around while being pushed in their strollers.

New Chair

James has a new chair that he LOVES, but he enjoys playing on it much more than sitting on it.

left bottom molar coming in

I just noticed this morning that James' left molar(11th tooth) is on its way here. The only indication that he gave me was an abundance of dirty diapers followed by a nasty rash. I'm hoping that it clears up soon. Poor little guy has a sore bum.

Update 9/29 Both molar are on their way in! His new teeth do not seem to be bothering him.

First day of school

Today was James' first day of preschool for the year.

Every school day needs to start with a good breakfast, right?

Ready to go!

Please, just one more snack?

James had a GREAT first day at school. He was the only little one not crying when I left this morning. I attribute this to the fact that he goes to Sunday school in the same room each week. I think it made the transition a lot easier on both of us. James has a busy schedule each Monday/Wednesday from 9-3:30. In the mornings he has Praise/Worship, Movement, Music, Snack and Activity time. He gets lunch around 11:30 and then naps from 12:30 to wake up time. Today James slept from 12:40-2:15. Once naps are over he is able to play outside(not today due to rain) or take an indoor buggy ride. James was really tired tonight and was in bed before 7pm. His big day wore him out.
