The Boys with their Boys

Just a classic moment during a visit from Michael, Mila and Cousin Lance.

Ben at his Cousin's Wedding

Ben's cousin Cory was married this past weekend. Here are a few pictures of us pre-ceremony. Sadly, Ben was not interested in sitting for 30 minutes, so he and mommy saw the event from the unique perspective of the parking lot. Still, a good time was had by all, and the reception was a lot of fun.

Train Gang

Cousin Lance came to visit this weekend -- we always love it when he comes over. This is a short video of the boys on the train that Ben's Grandma bought him for Christmas. It's amazing how much difference a few months makes...when we first presented him with the train back in January, he wanted nothing to do with it. This time he was happy to drive it around the track, and cried when we put it up.

I have to point out what a great older cousin Lance is. Ben was pretty herky-jerky with the controls, but he never once complained or tried to take over. He's a pleasure to have around.

Warm Weather Fun

With the recent run of warm weather, we have been making it a point to spend lots of time outside (tired toddler = easy toddler). Here is our latest toy at Nana & Grandpa's house. Ben thinks this is the coolest thing ever. Also note the warm weather buzz cut...may cooler heads prevail.

Bed Buddies

Ben's new obsession: Dog Beds. So far his canine companions have been very obliging.
