Visiting the Park

Here's a few pictures from our recent trip to the local duck pond... Both Ben and Phoebe enjoyed the ducks, even if I didn't get any great pictures. Next time we need to bring more bread. But Ben also enjoyed the hills, and the little bridges.

Benjamin's Big First Day!

That's right, here it is... Ben's first day at school! Okay, so it's just pre-pre school, and it's two days a week, three hours a day, but it's still school! We were a little sad at first to see him go, but he was so excited to get there that first day that it made everything okay. Now I get to come home two days a week and hear all about the fun Ben had at school that day. The toys, the songs, the fights, the snacks... It's a fun-filled three hours!

Standing on her own two feet!

Here's little Phoebe, holding onto her crib and hanging out. Minutes after this shot was taken, however, Phoebe let go and came crashing down, bouncing on the bed and bumping her head. Oops. I'm happy to say that I have the whole thing on tape.

She is beginning to pull up, however, more than 2 months before Benjamin ever did. Our little overachiever.

She thinks she's funny, but she's Snot

Here's Phoebe with a runny nose over New Years. Even covered in snot, she's still a cutie!

Ben as a gopher

Here's Ben at the zoo, living like a gopher. Clearly, he enjoyed a gopher's life. We offered to leave him there, but he decided to come home to civilization.

Christmas Presents..!

Here's a picture of Phoebe in her favorite Christmas present -- a red wagon..! She was beside herself when she got into it for the first time, and it only got more exciting from there! The wagon has two seats that face each other, and once Ben got in with her she was on cloud nine! Of course, Ben was pretty excited as well.
