The Henson Family Blog

Last weekend we visited with Ben & Sue Ellen at the Hults' house, someone nearby that they were house sitting for. The Hults have two ponds, one with lots of fish and other "pond life" (Sarah wanted to know if sharks lived there), and one that is perfect for swimming. The kids love their dog, Megan, who is the most gentle dog I have ever seen. They loved throwing the ball with her outside and playing in all of the grass! Here are some pictures that we took.

Benjamin is like a fish in the water. He LOVES to swim!!

The next Henson will be a baby girl! Our ultrasound today showed that our baby is a little girl and everything looks great! This ultrasound showed my due date to be a little earlier than the last one, so in other words...we have no clue when this baby will come...sometime between Dec. 6th and Dec. 16th, if due dates are accurate. Sarah is thrilled and is coloring lots of pictures for her sister. Benjamin is sure that there is a boy AND a girl in there (I think he just likes to argue with Sarah!). We are thankful for this new little one and now just have to get to work picking out a name for her.

Here are the ultrasound pictures. You can even see her sucking her thumb!

Even though we haven't updated the blog in a little while doesn't mean our lives are boring. We've been busy! Sarah started school (actually we're in our 5th week already), so that takes up much of each morning. We're getting more involved in church as well. VBS was last week, so Sarah and Becky drove 45 minutes each way each evening. Garth and Benjamin had some bonding time at home. Here are some recent pictures of the kids.

I'm getting ready to go register for all the free stuff from various companies for the new baby, so I'm asking for help from all you moms out there that read my blog. I'd like to get as much free formula, diapers, and wipes as possible! The companies that have come to mind are Evenflo, Nestle Carnation Goodstart, Pampers, Huggies, and Similac. What companies am I missing? Thanks for your help!!!!
