MICH-I-GAN

Well, here's our latest update from Saginasty, Michigan. We packed up all our belongings in the Bahamas, which was quite a talent on our part. We only had three bags and a pack n' play that we could check. If any of the bags were over 50 lbs or if we had an extra bag, it would've cost us $200 extra dollars. That is ridiculous! So we did what any cheap-o person would do and brought like five carry-on items. Each checked bag was around 48 lbs each. Instead of putting Henry in the stroller, we used it to cart our baggage around and just held him. That was ridiculous too. Matt was such a MAN the whole trip and pushed all the luggage around like a true pro. I love being married to a muscle man.

Our belongings....most of the stuff is Henry's things.When we got to Detroit, it was around 6pm and we had bought tickets to go see the Yankee and Tigers play. Two problems: 1. We bought tickets for the wrong day and 2. It was FREEZING. After pleading with the ticket dudes to let us in, we didn't stay long since our 'warm' clothes were no match for the 40 degree weather. People were also giving us dirty looks for bringing a baby out into that frigid cold. One guy that worked there said five months was the youngest he'd met during the cold months. Whoopsies.Here's our new place for the next three months. (Don't mind the overly tired girl in the corner of the picture. Her baby still doesn't like to sleep through the night.) We really appreciate our friends for setting up this place for us. Its perfect and our landlord is great.
Just for a comparison. The picture above is Halbert on his third night alive. The picture below is him at six months. He loves the nude.
As you can see, he's changed size and color. Henry's been a real trooper these past six months. So far, he's spent time in Oregon, Utah, Grand Bahamas and now MICH-I-GAN. That sure is a lot for a little guy!

Last of the Bahamians

Things we will miss in the Bahamas: the beautiful weather and the people...sigh....

Goodbye tennis courts and Eric and Knema.

Goodbye Restaurants and Tommy Carter.

Goodbye all you great baby lovers and Aileen.

Goodbye little Bahama's Branch and Henry's Bahamian Grandma Paddy.

Goodbye Rides to Church and live long friends Sister Cash and Smith. We will miss you and your families sooooo much.

And Goodbye Scooter and Kellie. Henry misses you like crazy on Sundays (Kellie, not the scooter).
Kellie, I couldn't find a picture with you so I had to steal one off of facebook because I had to
include you in the things we will miss DEEPLY in the bahamas.
