Playing at the Park

Having an 11 week old baby has certainly changed how much we get out of the house. In the past, Ben & I would be outside for several hours enjoying this beautiful weather. Now we go out for shorter periods of time and have mostly gone for neighborhood walks or played in the backyard. I've been missing being more spontaneous with Ben, so I decided this morning that we should just head to the park and have a good time. I fed Lucy right before we left and we headed over to Parkview park. It was very hot out, so I made sure to give Lucy some breaks in the shade. Ben had a wonderful time on all of the play equipment. He even had fun running up and down the big hill while I watched him from the shaded pavilion at the bottom.

 He's getting much better at climbing up everything. I can't believe he will be 5 years old in the fall!
 Would you like some lemonade?
 Lucy slept through most of our visit. Having her in a carrier on a hot day made for two sweaty people!
Run Ben! Run!

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 ...
