4 lbs to 4 yrs

Holy cow Hank, how you have grown. Happy Happy Birthday! You are the best little man I know.Meg and I found this little frock while sorting baby clothes to sell at an upcoming garage sale. Henry wore this during his 21 day stay in the ICN at TG. I'm not even sure the photo does it justice...this thing is small! He was about 4.5 lbs when he was finally able to wear it. I can still remember the absurd excitement I felt looking forward to him being able to wear clothes.

Girl Talk (aka: The Best Dollar I Ever Spent at a Garage Sale, Ever)

Spin 1(Liz): "Do 25 sit ups in 1 minute." - done and hilarious

Spin 2 (Henry): "If you won a million dollars, what would you spend it on?" - "a truck full of waterguns"

Spin 3 (Megan): "Call a boy and sing him your favorite song." - Pete O'Connor was the lucky recipient of this "California Girls" call.

Spin 4 (Liz): "Make another player laugh." - back to sit ups, I knew that would do it.

After the game ran it's course, Henry's fortune cards fortold that he would, "have 3 children, marry a girl named Megan and honeymoon at Tookie's Beach House. After 4 years at a dead-end-job he would end up in law school and also win the lottery, allowing him to buy his dream car, a Chevy Silverado."
For fear of having to wear a "zit sticker", ice cubes were down shirts, funny faces were held for 30 seconds, and prank calls to our favorite boys were made. This game is in the dictionary under the word, "awesome".
