Hi family and Friends!

Hope you all enjoy the new updates, just wanted to let you know that Cody, the hockey player we were hosting is no longer living with us. He was kicked off the team last weekend for violating team curfew. Last Tuesday we had a new player move in, his name is Curtis, he is also 15. So far it is working out much better. I haven't been able to get a picture of him yet so stay tuned! We hope all is well with everyone, happy fall!
Love,
The Tomlinson's

Greta's 3 month pictures

We had Greta's 3 month pictures taken yesterday, yes we had a very busy day yesterday, soccer, train ride, pictures and the Badger hockey game!








We thought this one was a funny little pose she did, too bad her hand is "missing"Of course when Isaac heard that we were getting Greta's pictures taken he thought he needed his too, so we did one with both of them at the end, by this time Greta was done with having her pictures taken, this is the only one that turned out.


Our First Women's hockey game of the season

Last night we went to our first Badger women's hockey game and Greta's first hockey game. We had fun and the Badger's won 7-3!

My lil Badger girl!
If you can see the two guys in the badger jersey's behind Isaac and Carter, they were crazy! They did all of the Badger cheers and Isaac and Carter tried to follow, we predict this will be Isaac and Carter in about 17 years.
Two silly boys
And of course no Badger event would be complete without a visit from Bucky.
Thumbs up to the Badgers!


Family Train Ride

The whole family went on a train ride Saturday morning, McFarland was having a family festival that included a free trian ride to Madison and Back, it was about a 45 minute ride, the boys loved it!

"It's like the Polar Express Mom!" Isaac was so excited to be on a train like the Polar Express.
A great picture of isaac and Grandma G.
Checking out the scenes.
Carter checks out the scenes too.
Greta thinks this train ride stuff is alright, she sleeps through the whole ride.

Wesley agrees with Greta...nap time!

What is so interesting out there boys?
I really like this picture
I wanted to get a good picture of the boys looking at the camera together, of course Isaac blinked...oh well.
Most of the henry family.
Wesley finally woke up...where am I?
Isaac is pretending to take a nap,he is really tired but keeps moving to stay awake.

A visit with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Bottjen

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Bottjen were in town Friday night, we went to visit them, it had been awhile since we last saw them. This was their first time meeting Greta. They were on their way to Arizona for the winter.




Four Generations, we have a picture like this of Isaac as well.

Four generations with both kids.

Lucy Lu, our dog that we had to give up, she now lives with Seth's parents. This was her first time meeting Greta, she loved her and of course had to give her kisses.

Tights....oh my!

Greta wore tights for the first time last weekend for church, it was a very scary event for Mom, I wasn't even sure if I was supposed to put them on before the diaper cover or after, I had to ask Grandma! We both survived, they were actually pretty cute.

Greta, show us your tights!Big brother had to get his picture taken too!
I think she looks so much like Isaac in this picture!
ENOUGH pictures Mommy!

Isaac vs. Carter in soccer

Isaac and Carter are both playing soccer this fall. We were not able to get them on the same team which of course means that they played against each other. Neither little guy had a very good soccer day, perhaps they didn't like playing against each other.

Game over, snack time
Watching my brother and cousin play soccer is HARD work!

Meet Cody

Let us introduce you to Cody, we are housing him for the hockey season, he is 15 years old and is from Kenosha. He is playing on the Stoughton Thunder a Junior A team that is new to Stoughton this year. Of course he was an instant hit with Isaac, he plays hockey with him! This photo was taken tonight as they were playing hockey in the living room.



She's 12 weeks old already!

Greta turned 12 weeks old today, I can't believe it! She is smiling more and even trying to laugh. As I mentioned in a previous post she has started to roll over from her tummy to her back, she is just getting so big so fast! Here are some pictures of Greta from the last two weeks.


Bath time, she LOVES her baths

Jammie time, her forehead is shiny from vaseline, she gets so dry on her face we have to lube her up every night.

Smiling at Daddy, I think she is going to be a Daddy's girl.


I love this picture

Need I say more? Life is good!


I got her this bouncy seat at a garage sale, it sits up more than ours does and it has a toy bar to play with, she likes it!
Tummy time

Her big brother is so silly!
Big blue eyes!
