Welcome to the world, Henry! The newest Gaffney cousin arrived on November 2, 2010 and is a wonderful addition to the Bowles brood. Not to be overshadowed by the older boys, he was the biggest cousin yet, weighing in at 7 pounds, 15 1/2 ounces and was 18 inches long. Henry looks just like Coop did as a newborn and is a cute pudgy, snuggly baby. It is hard to believe that Coop, Brady and Tad were each once this small.
Cooper and Brady are very proud of Henry and such sweet, big brothers. I took a quick trip to Nashville last weekend to meet Henry and spend a night with the Bowles. Much to Coop & B's disappointment, I came without Uncle Johnny and Tad. I woke up Sunday morning to Brady letting me know, "Aunt Kate, I want Uncle Johnny". We are all looking forward to spending Christmas in Nashville with the Bowles and, of course, Santa Claus!!
Abby: do not get any closer, baby brother.
Abby: didn't I tell you not to get any closer? It's good you feed me. 
Chocolate!
Brooke comes to play - yeehaw!
Another good dinner party ends pantless - chocolate everywhere!
Tad turned 18 months old last weekend and recently picked up on the concept of "saying cheese" for a photo. This usually involves Tad squinting his eyes and an over-exaggerated smile that cracks us up. Tad is motoring around rather quickly these days and keeping us entertained with his growing vocabulary. His favorite words include horse, duck, woof woof, apple (used to refer to all round shaped objects), Kroger (clearly we are losers and need to go more places than the grocery store), turkey, daddy and truck (Tad's all time favorite word, which is usually followed by the audio of a truck driving).
