Henry slept the entire time and even enjoyed his first train ride without realizing it. We're hopeful he'll catch a few innings next time, but we can't complain as he was a good sport.
Go Twins!

Henry's First Twins Game
Mom and Dad took Henry outdoors for his first baseball game at Target Field in mid-April. Although it was chilly we enjoyed opening day and Henry enjoyed the inside of his eyelids and snuggling with Momma in his carrier and lots of layers!

Easter Festivities
Although Easter was over a month ago - our apologies as we've been just a little busy, imagine that - we still wanted to devote a post to our celebrations with family.
Earlier in the week leading up to Easter Mom and James decorated eggs. Somehow Mom ended up with more dye on her hands than James did, but we had fun with a kit that made the eggs look swirled/tie-dyed. James kept repeating, "I can't have eggs Momma, I e-er-gic." Now that he is aware of his egg allergy he's quite vocal about it, but Mom assured him that decorating them would be okay and he obliged and we had success in making some beautiful eggs!
The Saturday before Easter Mom and the boys trekked to a park in Minneapolis for an Easter egg hunt. James enjoyed playing on the playground equipment for a bit before it started to rain. And then once we got inside and warmed up - he wanted to play some more, unfortunately the playground location was also where the staff were hiding the eggs so we had to stay put. Eventually we made it back outside and he found some eggs and placed them in his basket.
Dad was in Florida for part of the weekend for the NCAA hockey tournament, but arrived home in time to celebrate with Easter lunch and the Bragg family. Since Mom was flying solo most of the weekend the boys and her all spent Saturday night at the Kamrath's to make getting to church on Sunday morning a little easier. James and Henry both woke on Sunday morning to search out their Easter baskets at Grandma and Grandpa's house. James dug into his Easter Peeps and was excited to help Henry find his basket too. With delight he showed Henry how his toy worked and still gets excited to play the "Bunny" at home every once in a while.
We headed to church with the Kamrath's and James and Henry both lasted through the service without any meltdowns - so mission one accomplished for the day! Off to Grandma and Grandpa Bragg's for lunch with a quick pit stop at home to pick up Papa!
Henry got a chance to visit with Great Grandma Betty and Grandma and Grandpa Bragg for the afternoon before he decided to take a snooze. James also enjoyed an afternoon nap in the big bed (after lunch of course) - it still take some getting used to to see him sleeping in a regular sized bed these days!
Following his nap James got up and explored Grandma and Grandpa's backyard for another Easter egg hunt! This time James "got it" quite quickly and was happy to taste some of his findings too!
Another attempt to get an official family photo was somewhat successful ... guess this is truly our life these days :)
It was a wonderful busy weekend capped by a beautiful evening of sunshine and some time spent outside. Couldn't have asked for anything more - we are blessed indeed!

Meeting Great Grandmas
We've been busy getting adjusted at home the last 12-weeks or so and it was back to reality two weeks ago as Mom headed back to work and Henry started daycare. One can't complain about the weather Mom had during maternity leave - much warmer and nicer than anticipated for having a "winter baby."
The last 12-weeks have been filled with visits and introductions of our newest family member and we thought a post about these first visits with Great Grandmas would be appropriate given Mother's Day is just around the corner.
Visits with Great Grandmas Julie and Betty were here in town, but Henry was a trooper on his first road trip to Wisconsin Rapids to visit Great Grandma Clark. We spent several days there and James enjoyed the visit too particularly due to the toys Grandma had saved from when Grandma Mike and Uncle Pat were kids that he got to play with (that and the homemade mac & cheese for dinner upon arrival didn't hurt either).
Henry's first visit to the Rudolph, WI cheese factory!!
Celebrating Easter with Great Grandma Bragg.
Visiting with Great Grandma Julie at Henry's baptism.
We are excited to see what the next few months hold for both our boys as they continue to grow by leaps and bounds.
