Brothers

Sometimes it's a fight over who gets to have the baby. Malachi calls him "MY baby brother" and Josiah just mumbles "I hold it..." for a moment we got them to share.

Alaskan Boy!

It's cool up here because Alaskans are very proud of the fact that they're Alaskans...and they should be, this is an amazing place. The crib card for Ezra (as you can see) says, I'm an Alaskan boy! and we're kinda proud of that, especially Abe. We've had a wonderful adventure and him being born here in Homer is a huge part of that.

Cheeks!

Josiah is now a cheek holder, kinda like Mal does the ears. He falls asleep with his hands holding both of my cheeks. He LOVES Ezras cheeks...he pokes them, holds them, kisses them. I think he's a smart little dude...he just has to gain a greater awarness of where the cheek ends and the eyeball begins.

He's got hair!

When I was delivering Ezra the midwife made a coment about him having hair. Abe and I both made stupid comments in response to the effect that our kids don't have hair when they're born....but here it is, Ezra's hair. It's not as much as Carter Beason....but we like to pet it.

This picture makes it look kinda red....maybe he's more Hickman than I first thought :)

(rewind some more) Josiah the super Potty Boy!

So, Josiah decided to start potty training himself. I'm not complaining....but it hasn't been easy and he's still troopin. This is just one of the several battle wounds he has gotten trying to do it by himself. I think there was a little bath water on the floor and he cracked his eye on the rim of the toilet.... didn't slow him down too bad. I haven't had to change a poopy diaper for quite a while (maybe one).

Rewind Just a Bit

Just before Ezra was born and stole the show Malachi caught his very own king salmon. It was the last night the river was open and Abe hooked it but Malachi played it for about 15 min holding the rod totally on his own. I think Abe was in charge of the realing...so it was a small team effort. Malachi was very vocal and had all the local fisherman chearing him on. The fish was longer than him but he out weighed it by about 10 pounds. GO MAL!!!!

Henderson Boys

I think Ezra has more Henderson features than Malachi and Josiah... espeically his ears. Oh! and he has brown hair.
