Here is Artie up close. You can hear some 'coos' in between Harry's screams in the background.

#1 Gopher Fan

Here is Harry's version of the MN rouser. It isn't his best attempt, but we're working on it. Kristi is withholding his food until he gets it right!

Birthday Boy

We celebrated Mike's birthday on December 1st. Isn't he youthful looking?

Just a thought. Maybe Mike and I should have some more pictures taken together...

All Grown Up

Our hostess Traci made a fabulous turkey!

Isn't He Handsome?

Harry shows off his dapper coat.

What About Me?

Poor Artie. He wanted to play too!

Piano Time with the Big Boys

Mike, Jonathan, Harry and Sam enjoyed some quality music time together on Thanksgiving.

Pumpkin Boys

We harvested these two pumpkins from our garden this year. The one on the right was pretty tough to carve.

At Home

Auntie Traci, Jonathan and Sam (not pictured), came for a visit.

We are adjusting to our new routines. The little ones get much more sleep than we do, but we know that is temporary. Harry bounces between wanting to hold and kiss Artie, and telling us the baby needs to go "bye-bye."

Arthur Wendell Lenz

Artie arrived 5:30pm on Friday. 20 inches and weighing in at 7lbs 6 oz, he is a very welcome and mellow addition to the household. We checked in at 7am. Kristi was induced at 10:30am. Artie arrived at 5:30pm. More to follow...

My Birthday!!!!!

Harry is going to be 2 tomorrow, but we had a little party for him a week earlier. Here are a couple of pictures from his big day. If you think his face looked messy eating that cake, you should have seen his other end a few hours later.

Buddies

Harry woke Disco early so they could enjoy the lake in peace.

My Best Suit

Since Harry was sick on Easter, we had to get him into his seersucker suit on just an ordinary day. He thought the fabric was quite comfortable, and kept him cool.

At work with Daddy

Harry didn't quite understand what "work" meant, until we went to Daddy's office for a visit. Now he wants to go to work too. Of course he thinks that Mike plays with footballs and runs between cubicles all day long.

The Corn Festival

This was Harry's second Corn Festival, but his first time sampling the corn. He thought it was a little "hots," but he still liked it.

Since comcast's acquisition of RoadRunner, our family homepage has gone kaplooey. Mike will probably get it going again. Until then, we'll use this spot to keep people up to speed on Harry's antics.

Today we are in Loyal for the Corn Fest, or what we refer to as The Festival of the Corn.

Nobody from the family ran in Spanky's this year. Next year Mike is in for sure - unless he is still fat.

We don't have pictures here in Loyal, so I'll leave you this one from Nana Zuehlke's computer.
