School Days... so close!

In an attempt to show my support for Joe in his grad school studies I thought I would create a chain countdown and get Ben to help.  This picture is it at the beginning about a month ago, now it's not long enough to to across the window, YAAAAAYYYY!  

I'm so ridiculously proud of my hubs for his amazing hard work the last several years.  How he has been able to stay dedicated and self-disiplined in his studies I can only marvel.

Thank you God for this wonderful man!

Jig on St. Pat's Day

Ok, so I have to quickly get in a post about St. Patrick's day before the next holiday comes in 2 days!

Irish dancing anyone?

I had to laugh after realizing that Ben was signing apple because we were "filming" with an ipad that has the apple on the back :)

I hope to get better at this blog updating thing real soon!

leeeeettle baby

I was going through some pictures and found this one of Ben's baptism, he was 1 month...
My bro looks like a natural!

Haircut

Just a little off the back and sides.
The top hasn't grown for awhile, I'm still waiting.

What made him sit still like that?  TV of course, I think it was Baby Signing time.  This was about his 4th hair cut, but the first one that wasn't from me, but from Grammy, so what did I do...  Take pictures.

Behold... I am a volunteer!

Cousins

two too cute

Ben enjoyed hanging out with his cousins over Christmas.  It made me think about my own cousins.  I have many of them and have immensely enjoyed the relationships I share with them.  And there seems to be something extra fun to be around ones born very close to my own birthday.

I like knowing that Ben will have all of that with his cousins :)

Ornaments

One of Ben's favorite ornaments... the squirrel :) Thanks Tor!

The Main Event

Consider this a reward for keeping up with our blog :)

Remember the dancing practice Ben was doing?  Well it paid off!  This a short clip of what what went on for a good 15 minutes at about 11pm at my brother's wedding.  He got going and then as soon as I picked him up he put his head down on my shoulder and was asleep by the time we got up to our room :)  If anyone else has footage of his dancing, please email me!
