This and That

Life is never dull around here. The subject of storytime this week was 'snakes'. Benjamin was first in line to touch/pet the library's pet boa. We immediately had to find this little snake in our crate of stuffed animals when we got home. It is now a favorite.



Benjamin started Suzuki violin lessons this month. I like their approach to teaching & Benjamin absolutely loves his teacher. His lessons are fun - exactly what they are supposed to be.



Benjamin has become quite intrigued with t-ball (Froggy plays T-Ball is one of our favorite books right now). He became creative with his accessories, using a cone to hold the ball. We'll soon be taking these things outside as his swing has become amazingly accurate & strong. "Watch out Mommy!"

San Antonio

This weekend we took a quick trip to San Antonio. We didn't have time to do too much, but we really enjoyed viewing the Alamo (at night), the Children's Museum, & a few walks along the Riverwalk.

Shopping at HEB! Hmm...he knew just how to do it (except he tried to unload the entire bin of carrots into his cart; I don't think he's seen me do that yet)

Playing dentist

Water fun

Cold Days

We had a snowman party last week since we didn't get out of the house too much. Benjamin loves his new snowman cup!


It's hard to see...but the fresh blueberry muffins were baked in a snowman/mitten tin.

Great Friends

Benjamin has been asking to play with Damion everyday since Damion left. We have great memories our fun times together.
