Sprinkler Time!

Gran & Pop gave Caroline this funky flower sprinkler last year, so we decided to finally put it to use! After one run through the water, Little Miss "C" requested her froggy goggles.



Ben watched his big sis play in the yard...

then he got into some water action of his own in a roasting pan, of all things!

Summer Has Begun!

I can't believe that Summer is upon us - at least it is in our world. Schoold (a.k.a. Mother's Morning Out) is over and our days are wide open! Translation....the house is in an unending state of toys-spread-all-over-the-place! Here are a few of our latest and greatest moments:

Grandpa & Grandma come for a visit. Grandma comes to play with us often, and every now and then we get to see Grandpa, too!!

Ben is scooting all over the house. He won't crawl yet, but likes his mobility. Guess the gates will be going up again soon!

Daddy got a turkey last week, so we went to "Uncle" Roger's house to fry it up. Little Miss "C" enjoyed picking flowers out of his garden.

More to come of our fun time outside in the sprinkler this week!

10 Month Old Patient

Ben is 10 months old! Just this morning he's been subject to a physical examination from Little Miss "C" which earned him a bandaid on his arm.

He is getting around mostly by scooting on his bottom, which works pretty well on the hardwoods! He is drawn to tags, for examply he immediately feels around for the tag as soon as I put a bib on him. Most things go right into his mouth, of course, like the other night while he was in the bathroom during his sister's bathtime:

He's got 6 teeth and I think that one more is coming in on the bottom!

We had a busy week/weekend last week doing a garage sale, and were blessed with a visit from Nana & Papa to help watch the kids on Saturday. This culminated with Little Miss "C" being able to go watch her cousin's dance recital on Sunday night. Now she wants to do ballet and "magnastics" (gymnastics) around the house!
