The morning I chased my son around the park!

Ben likes to be on the move, so the park can be a challenge at times. I met my friend Erin and her son Will at Parkview this morning. I would be in the middle of talking to Erin and then I'd have to say, "Sorry I gotta run after Ben for a minute." The big structure at the park can make it difficult sometimes because he can run from one end to the other and it's way too high for him to go by himself. I was at least able to contain him in a swing for a while and his stroller while he ate some lunch!

Ben playing with one of the steering wheels.

I thought this was funny how he was following the notes of the song with his finger. He did that with all four songs before he was ready to move on to something else.


Saying "Hi" to his friend Will.


After he climbed up to the top of the play structure, Ben stopped and noticed the ducks on the pond. He kept saying, "Duck, duck, duck" and pointing out at them.



Ben waving at himself into a mirror that is in need of some serious cleaning. :)

Looks like a fun day, actually a fun week with his time at his little friend's house too. He's so cute and getting so big. Looking forward to spending some time with you next week!

Hugs to all,

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
