Fall-2011

this kid does not like his picture taken...hard to get him to look!

it's been a while....

He loves windchimes.

Trying to put his chalk back together.

We love craigslist.

Bubbleless bubbles.

Checking out the ducks at Big Bear.

Running to daddy!

Taking it all in.

On  a stump.

The kid knows his roots.......he loves him some corn!

it's all happening.

Well, I guess the time has come.
Benjamin is finally walking (a little)!

Easter 2011

The Easter Bunny didn't show up until this evening,  

and Benjamin was already asleep.

His strep throat got the best of him, he was out by 6:30!

I guess he'll have to check out his new books tomorrow!

Self Feeding

Benjamin happily fed himself his cereal this morning.

I had to scoop, but he wanted to put it in his mouth.

Sick Leprechaun

Happy Day After St. Patrick's Day!

San Bernardino had its first St. Patty's Day celebration last night, 

so we went and checked it out.

It was small, but nice.  

Irish music and dancing with some food and party favors.  

Unfortunately, Benjamin wasn't feeling too well, so no jig for him! 

**I hope he doesn't hate me for this outfit later!

Happy Valentine's Day!

That's Right!

Too Cool.

Loving his swing.

Peek-A-Boo.

That chunk of hair is now gone, I couldn't take it anymore.

Front...in the light. Want to restain the door with a charcoal color.

Back, with the new brick work.

New (40 year old) dining room furniture.
