A Long Week

Curt has been out of town this week. He gets home tonight. Yay!!! Since he rarely travels it has felt like a very long time to have him gone. Skype and texting definitely helped me get through the week. Ben and I have stayed really busy every day this week, which is probably why we are hanging out at home today (still in our pajamas). It will be nice to be back to our normal routine tomorrow. :)

Yesterday, we spent a few hours at the zoo. It was a beautiful sunny day, but a little on the chilly side. I think it was in the 50's the whole time we were there. It wasn't busy at all. I love when we can just take our time and not have people crowding behind us, pressuring us to move through an area quickly. I took some pictures, but I'm sure you've seen Ben a similar pose many times, so I won't bore you with captions.

I'm glad your long week will soon be over, and the 3 of you will be back together again. I'm sure Curt is ready to be home too! Have a great weekend. :-)
Love,

Yippee! You survived! I knew you would. I know the feeling, since Mark travels all the time. It's no fun to be apart, but such a blessed reunion when we're all back together! I'm glad everyone was safe and made it through the week! ;))
Can't wait to see you all soon!
Love,
Betsy

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 ...
