Vote Early & Often!

As you can see Ben is a fan of both. :) Have you voted yet?

The past week has been a rough one, both for Ben and for us! The picture doesn't do it justice since I didn't take this picture until 2 days ago, but in the past week Ben has 1. Had a run in with a chair that involved a cut lip and LOTS of blood, 2. a collision with a rocking chair that resulted in a nasty bruise on his cheek, 3. A bump with the tile floor that caused his lip to reopen and bleed and a fat lip AND 4. A fall on the concrete that left him with a scrape on the cheek and nose. Not to mention the fact that he has a cold, and has closed his fingers in numerous drawers and I managed to pinch his little fingers in a door this morning. :(

And his parents haven't done much better. Andrew lost his job again last Monday, and then his (bi-polar) boss called him back on Thursday and offered him half of his job back. Needless to say, Drew is still looking for a job. I had a dud of a bookfair this week AND our house is still on the market until Friday when it will fall off and there is just no point in relisting it. We have had 1 showing in the past 6 weeks.

Oddly enough Andrew and I spoke in Sunday School last Sunday about God's provision. :) Oh the irony...

Weekend Fun

"It took me a little while to warm up... but I think I like her..."

Rachel came to visit us and we loved having her! If only she could have stayed longer! I love catching up with friends!

" I don't know about Pad Thai... but these things I LOVE!"

Friday Night Football!

Ben was up two nights in a row until 11. He loved the football... or more likely all the noise going on around him.

Gotta love those bananas.

The Babbler

All of you who think... or have told me... "oh, what a quiet child you have." YOU ARE WRONG! Here is proof.

Aaaa CHOO!

I LOVE baby sneezes. And I finally caught one on film... I make a big deal out of it when Ben sneezes, my secret goal is to scare/make him laugh out of the sneeze. It has only happened once but I will keep trying!! :)

The Ben Monster

This little man is growing up SOO fast, and we are loving every new thing! He is becoming SO much more expressive and responsive. He laughs WITH us, laughs AT us, talks TO us... This morning I wasn't watching for about 2 minutes and I found him standing on a box, holding on to a lamp and banging it against the wall. NEVER a dull moment. He has taken a few steps, and is flying around furniture and has been standing up in the middle of the room for 20-30 seconds. He tries to walk, but if you are remotely close he just does a head-long trust fall. :) here are a few pictures from the last week or two.
