Trevin's discovery

Trevin, oh Trevin! What are we going to do?? You are in love with your thumb! We put mits on your hands and you (somehow??!!) get them off at night. We cover your hands with the cuffs on your pjs and your fingers find a way out. You will still take the pacifier but if it isn't handy the thumb works well. Tonight you had the perfect combination - Papa's shoulder & warm embrace along with your thumb. It was fun to see you drift off to sleep - even in a lively house. I'm hoping that you lose interest in your thumb soon, hmmm....wishful thinking.

There is nothing better than horseback rides from Papa. This was taken about a year ago when cousin Damion came to visit. We miss you, Damion (& his parents)!!

Springtime Fun

Benjamin enjoyed a fun morning with his grandparents at their neighborhood spring festival. Pony rides, a little petting zoo, train rides were some of the activities. I love the picture of Benjamin's hands gingerly holding the duckling while Mom helps.

What we've been doing...

Here we are again! It has been super duper fun having our family together the past little while. Benjamin & Damion get along like brothers - so incredibly loving towards each other and also bickering over the same toys at times. We will miss them terribly as they head back to the cold country tomorrow.

A Surprise Birthday Party

Who doesn't love a surprise birthday party?! Benjamin managed not to spill the beans - he was too busy playing with Mason & Chase's toys to tell Papa he was going to have a birthday cake that night! We enjoyed the scrumptious food & good fellowship too. Can we do it again soon, Lori & Ruben? We all loved it!
Don't they look so young?
