We're Ready for Spring!

Ben and I are all ready for spring-time! We got a new bike trailer/jogging stoller and Ben has his helmet. Now all we need is for some dry roads and off we go!

Snow!

Ben's first foray into the snow.

Oh Those Silly Kids...

Ben, Cameryn and Andrew had a play date today. Ben and Cameryn got very excited about Vegas's cage. You can hear Andrew (behind the camera) add his squeaks a few times. The three of them were too funny!

Uh Oh

Spaghetti Anyone?

Feeding the Ducks

While the girls went to the museum to see the Disney animation art exhibit, the boys went to feed the ducks at City Park. Ben fed the ducks, swans, and seagulls. I am told these ducks are professionals when it comes to eating bread from kids. They come right up, gently take their bread, and don't bite. Ben was fascinated with all the birds.

Those are some Big Fish!

I don't have my computer with me, so I can't rotate the vidoes, but this is still pretty cute. Check out how big the cat fish is compared to Ben! It really could eat him whole!

All the Pretty Sharks

The Aquarium

We headed over to the Aquarium today to see the fishes. Ben was very excited about the big fish and sharks and sting rays. It was fun watching him watch the fish and try to grab them and touch them through the glass. Maybe now he will have a little more respect for his fish at home, Ichabod. I should also mention there were lots and lots of Ohioans at the aquarium today - people in town for the Sugar Bowl (Cinci vs FL).

A New Orleans Christmas

After celebrating Christmas in Ohio, we headed down to New Orleans for Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Sarah. Again, Santa must have thought Ben was a very good boy because he got a lot of presents!

Ben got a new bike helmet to go with Mommy's new bike trailer/jogging stroller! As soon as the weather in Toledo warms up, Ben and I will be hitting the new bike trails in Perrysburg

Choo Choo Train

Great Aunt Gwen got Ben a choo choo train for Christmas. It was used more as a 'bang bang' train instead

Jingle Bells

Grandma Lee had these super fun jingle bell trees. Ben was much more facinated with the jingle bell trees than the real Christmas tree, which was fine with me!

Merry Christmas!

Ben had a good first Christmas! Apparently Santa must have thought Ben was a good boy because he got a lot of presents!

Ben was a present himself!

Ahhh, a soccer ball!

A tool bench!

A super big doggy (I don't know where that is going to fit in the house!)

Ohh, pretty tree

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Books!

Walking

I don't know how I feel about this walking. I only forsee trouble, headaches, the words No! Stop! and timeouts in the future.

Yummy Pancakes!

Little piggy was scarfing down the pancakes yesterday. He ate 4 pancakes, and banana and a bottle for breakfast. And then ate a sizable lunch 3 hours later. I guess walking requires a lot of calories.
