What a little boy! When did this happen?

Yum, dirt

Life around and about Memorial Day Weekend 2010

What's Ben telling Zach?

Cat in a box

Hanging artwork at my mother's new apartment. This is a piece of driftwood my dad picked up several years ago and mounted so that it could be hung. We actually ended up putting it somewhere totally different.

And I made doughnuts for the first time! I don't have a doughnut cutter, but I made do. Next time I am going to fry them in slightly less hot oil for slightly less time.

Many Adventures

Our first popsicle! I am not sure what he thought about it

Friends who share!

Our new potty. I expect 1) that it is going to be in the bathroom rather than the living room soon and 2) going to take a long time for potty training to occur.

Hey there says Ben. Ben's been rather under the weather with an ear infection this week. He was a little perkier today. I miss my happy smiling boy.

An evening at the park

Sometimes, everyone wants to be carried.

Look! Dirt!

Ben's figured out how to really crawl on his hands and knees. Much more efficient that dragging his back half everywhere.
