new skills

Henry has officially learned to navigate the stairs. A few weeks ago he managed to spring loose the gate and tumbled down. Scared the BAGEEZ out of me. I think it scared him too, so much that he started trying this backward thing that we kept telling him about.

(and straight to the dog food... as usual.)

Now he's up and down all day. We only use the gate to keep him contained upstairs while I try to get a few things done.

Speaking of skills... Ayla's been honing her volleyball skills.

They won their first game! A good start to a SUPER short season. The season's almost 1/2 over already... seriously! (Second game cancelled due to Hurricane Ike)

So if you are interested in cheering the Mustangs on. Come see a game before they're gone. Thursday evenings. You can find their game schedule at teamtracker.net. If that link doesn't take you directly to the schedule. Type in O_Henry (be sure there's a space between) in the search area; and she's on 7th grade volleyball - B team.
