Henry at 7 1/2 years old........a snap shot of his world and how he fits in.

I want to try and capture what Emma and Henry's lives look and feel like each year. It is amazing how quickly you forget things like what they are interested in, who their friends are, and what they think about. I thought that this would be the perfect avenue to list these important facts out for each of them and today Henry is the lucky child.

*He is passionate about fishing on Schroon Lake with John.
