The Henry's Visit!

Phil's oldest brother, Mark, and his wife, Lesley, came to visit in early May. They brought their two precious babies, Laura, who just turned two, and Michael who will be one in June. They are moving to Australia on May 20th, where Lesley is from, so we were very thankful that they were able to visit before they leave the country. We had a great time hanging out with them, pampering the kids (literally and figuratively!), and even got to celebrate Phil's birthday while they were here. We hated to see them go, but look forward to heading to Australia to visit them in the future!

Here's Laura and her Uncle Phil:

Michael is already quite the flirt with the ladies (and the camera!):

We spent one afternoon playing in the park in Belmont- the kids loved the swings, and Laura was crazy about the slide!

Mark and Phil also did a lot of work around the house during their visit. They built a compost pile in the backyard, raked and weeded the front yard (Erin and Lesley helped with this), reran some of the electrical wiring in the house and added new light switches inside, and cleared a lot of the yard waste in the back corner of the yard in preparation for the tool shed. We certainly didn't mean to put our guests to work!! But they did such a great job, we hope they can come back soon ;) Of course, no project was complete without Laura's helping hand!
