Happy 4th!

Benjamin thinks today is 'flag day'. He just loved wearing his flag shirt, waving his flag at the local 4th of July parade, and seeing everything decorated with the American flag. We had a great pancake breakfast (made and served by the local boy scouts) with Chase & Mason and parents. Benjamin checked out the fire trucks and thought they were pretty fascinating.

Happy 4th Weekend

Our 4th of July weekend included a company picnic near Horseshoe Bay, golfing, swimming, & fireworks over the water. Benjamin loved every minute of it. He'll tell you that he got a "hole in one"! He'd find the hole on the putt putt course, run down to get close to the hole, set his ball down, & hit it into the hole! What great eye hand coordination he's getting. He slept in his big bed for the first time last night & did fabulous. Yes, we have been lazy along those lines. It is so easy to put him in his crib & let him sleep there. However he is ready for the transition. He thinks he's such a big boy now. I just discovered this week that he can also sing his ABCs! It's so exciting to watch him learn, but I'm very aware he is growing up too fast.
