Friends and Philly

This weekend we went back to Philly so Nathan could meet Henry and we could hang out with Mike and Marissa one more time before we head overseas. In the few weeks it had been since I last saw Henry, he grew a lot...mostly in that cute little belly of his. He is almost 3 months old and is looking like a little man. Nathan used his Purcell baby whisper skills on Henry, and he sat calmly in Nathan's arms.

Don't you just love that handsome little face!
M&M with Henry and Ben. Marissa teased that Ben looks more like her baby than Henry...haha!
Future partners in crime...they are even dressed alike:).
And both little slobber monsters.
Best friends and future best friends:)
All the excitement put Henry to sleep.
But not for too long....
It was a beautiful day outside, so we walked downtown and went to a park. 
The men and babies stayed outside talking, while the ladies and Caleb played on the playground.
We ended the afternoon eating sandwiches and hummus at an outdoor cafe, and having lots of good laughs. We have lived close to Mike and Marissa for the past 8 years, and we are going to miss them a lot, especially seeing Henry grow into a little boy, but are very grateful for the invention of the Internet, Skype, and Facebook to keep us connected. When we return in a few years, our boys will be wrestling with each other and we will only remember the days when they laid there so quietly together on a rug;).
We love you Marissa, Mike, and Henry!

Love this post, Heather! So happy that you and Marissa got to hang out these last few years and that you both have such wonderful husbands and now those adorable little boys. We are blessed. Glad we still have the Internet and we can stay in touch. Love you guys and wishing you all life's blessings.

Forgot to mention that The Purcell baby whisper skills are incredible. Nathan should patent it
