Catching Up ...

Apparently I’ve been busier with the camera than with the blog.  I have a lot of little albums of photos that I haven’t shared yet, so consider this a “digest” version of the Sutherland Family Adventures in reverse chronological order …


My brother Ben is getting married in June.  He has asked Henry to be the Ring Bearer.  When we told him this, he said, “Oh, I LOVE ringdeer!”  However, he assures me, “But I’m not going to grow up to be a ringdeer”.  Today he got to try on his suit for the first time.  Super handsome.  (If you think this one is cute, you should see the other photos in the album!)  Just a while ago, Henry was so sleepy he laid down on the kitchen floor and started to drift off to sleep.  I asked him if he wouldn’t be more comfortable on the sofa.  He agreed and on his way to the sofa he said, “Can I just put on my suit?  That would be so cozy for sleeping in.”


This is a crib that has been in our family for a long while and is now in use as Joseph’s alternate sleeping location in Luke’s room.  These photos commemorate both the use of the crib … and the discovery that Joseph has joined the thumb-sucking contingent of siblings.


Nana came over last Wednesday to give Luke and Henry haircuts.  We decided it was time for Hazel to have a trim, too.  Now she’s sporting a sassy new look.  (Also in this album are some “Hello, Papa!” pictures Nana took on her visit.)


Big brother got everyone set to listen to a CD … while managing to snuggle Joseph at the same time!


Joseph also spends plenty of time snuggling with his Emma!


Way back when, I took a video of Foofie singing “The Sunshine Song” (as we call it).  Hazel LOVES to watch that video.  Henry decided he wanted to do a cover of that song.  The first video is his version.  The second video is … complete silliness.

I realize that I haven’t yet posted any pictures from Joseph’s birth and early days.  Those are coming soon!
