First black tar diaper for Marc
1st wet one
Day One
We have begun the rest of our lives this morning. We each got about 3.5hrs of sleep this morning. Katrina and I are just starring at him in awe of God's unique workmanship. Spencer is sleeping in his crib next to Katrina's hospital bed. She is talking with her Dad on the cell phone. My parents and siblings left about 30 minutes to return to Spokane. We are both super tired, so we are going to try to get a nap in before more visitors arrive.
Please pray for patience and endurance for Katrina as she begins to practice breastfeeding.
Once we head home (probably Tuesday), I can begin to upload our pictures to this blog. He is getting more handsome by the hour. I wonder who he takes after?
Spencer Allen Wayne Henshaw

One Step Closer
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
We stayed at the Marcus Whitman for 2 nights and 3 days. It worked out that we were there over the 4th of July weekend. The hotel has a restaurant called "The Marc". We made sure to eat there once. We shared the best dessert I have ever had--a home-made caramel macchiato dessert. Home-made ice cream surrounded by a caramel baked crust. It was incredible.
This was a picture of our hotel room. The jacuzzi tub was awesome!
It seemed like the whole town of Walla Walla spent July 4th at the park. We sat on a blanket and read books, listened to a couple of different performers and then walked around the park and looked at the vendors. It was great day and we really enjoyed the fireworks that night.
Lastly, here is a picture of us the morning of our last day. We took our Bibles to a local coffee shop and just enjoyed reading, sharing and people watching. All in all we just had a great time!
Baby Shower (1 of 4)
So here are some pictures from my "small group" shower:
Surprise Trip to Canada
The surprise went off with out a hitch and the entire trip was wonderful. I got spend time with everyone and even see a couple of friends. It was great to be back home, but I realized that my understanding of home is changing. Belleville will always be home in the sense that my family is there, but Richland is home because Marc is here. I, of course, missed Marc but it was also good to realize that I missed my house, my dog and my Tri-City friends.
A couple of pictures to catalog my trip home:
I flew into Toronto and got to spend the night with good friends Amber and Jon. Plus I had the privilege to meet sweet Abigail for the first time. She is precious. It was so good to visit with friends.
What would a trip home be without pictures of my sweet Sophia.? My little neice is growing up so fast. She is adorable as you can see. Plus she has the funniest sense of humor. When I first walked in and surprised everybody, Sophia kept trying to get my attention. After the third attempt I finally got down and asked her what it was she wanted. Her response was, "Aunt Katrina where is Uncle Marc?" Oh that about did me in. So precious to hear my name on her lips. She hasn't forgotten us.
My sister Paula just before she left on a trip to Mexico with my nephew Shane.
I have to admit this picture is a bit of a posed one. It was re-enacted from the night before. I went to see Shane play soccer and just before the game started he came over and gave me a big hug. Then he grabbed my belly and just held on. It was pretty funny. The other nephews were not so keen on feeling the movements of their soon to be cousin. But Shane was more than happy to. It was pretty cute.
