Dr. Olheiser

Austen and Henner are playing ''doctor.''

Austen has pens in his shirt pocket (this is what distinguishes him from regular boys in dress shirts)

He has a small notepad and one of those face masks.

the funniest part:

He wrote a ''prescription'' with a little diagram of where Henry's ''small break'' is in his leg.

The "prescription" is a picture of his cast with "HenrY" at the top.

He showed me all of this.

Then I hear this:

"Henry, this is a picture of your cast. You have your cast on now? Okay, I made this picture of your small break. See the small break? I will give this picture to your mother, Rebekah. Rebekah Olheiser"

Dressing up is fun

Mobbed!

Meeting The New Baby

Our Girl

Getting ready to go to the hospital. I was "not thinking good" and for some reason woke Tyson up when we should have been leaving to get there at the time L&D said to arrive. Fortunately we were preceded by mommies in labor already and so it was irrelevant that we were late. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

In Labor. Looking pretty happy, must have been after the eipdural.

Joy!

The Lovely Elizabeth, all nice and pink

So happy to meet you, Elizabeth! (Tyson was saying something snarky, I'm sure of it)

Mom & Dad & Girl!

Ready to bring her home...

Special Robot Place

According to Henner, there's no robots allowed in Heaven. So there is a "Special Robot Place."

He has drawn this picture of what this "Special Robot Place" looks like.

This is a robot in the "Special Robot Place"

This is a more elaborate depiction of Special Robot Place. Robot is holding a "spray," the T's are flowers, and the marks on the upper right hand side are the "waters that make the plants grow up"

Four Big Brothers!

great ideas

Henry is evidently having a growth spurt. He is always starving. He keeps coming up to me with lines like this (whispering) "Mom, I have a great idea. My idea is to ask you for food." or "I have a great idea. My idea is to ask for macaroni and cheese"

to which I replied: "Maybe for supper we can have macaroni and cheese."

Henry's next great idea: "Mom, I have a great idea, my idea is to ask if it can be supper time right now..."

I am currently considering indulging him even though it's 3:00 in the afternoon.
