Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Benjamin at 5 months

Well even with some irritation in the gums, Benjamin remains our very happy boy.  He smiles at a lot of things, but his biggest smile comes when his big Sister is talking to him.

He recently realized that he has a right hand and it is attached to his body.  I catch him quite often just staring at it in awe.

I decided to go ahead and try Big Ben on cereal and after a couple of spoonfuls, he acted like he'd been eating it since birth.

The Two Tribes

Who says girls are more fun to dress up than boys and what fun is it to have babies close in age if their mommies can't coordinate their outfits? Benjamin and his friend Levi are 4 weeks apart. His mommy and I like to get together every week or so, so all of our children can play ... ok mostly so we can enjoy adult conversation. :) These pictures were taken last Sunday at church.

One, Two, Three, Four I declare a thumb war...

Winner gets to slobber the other's hand......ah sweet victory

Can't wait to show these kiddos this picture in about 12 years.

Emily 3 years, 7 mo. - Mar. 16

This month has been another fun month with Emily-isms.  Emily has 2 wonderful Sunday School teachers who are very creative with the lessons.  This past Sunday the kids learned about when God created people and had fruit as their snack.  After class one of Emily's teachers shared with me that Emily stated her fruit was scrumptious - oh the words she remembers.

As most of you with preschoolers know, this is the age of questions.  The question for the month from Emily is "Mommy, how tall is God?".  I had a good answer, but heard a better one from our Pastor today - tall enough.

Texas Trip 2010 continued

The second week of our trip we were able to spend with the rest of the family. We took walks, played games, fed the animals, climbed trees, visited Aunt Neva and Uncle Bob's house, went to many playgrounds, toured the San Antonio Missions and went to a play.
