It's a New Year

A new year deserves a new planner!

It's called the "Life Planner" from Erin Condron

Loving it!

We got our beautiful new house numbers installed.

Now the UPS man can find our house

One of the joys of buying a foreclosure

includes a long list of projects

Thankfully, I'm married to Mr. Fix it himself!

I tend to get overwhelmed by the list but Frank says,

"Little by little inch by inch,

a yard is hard but an inch is a sinch!"

Benjamin's new trick...pointing.

At his milk...

at his toys...

at pictures...

at the lights...

and at the cat.

At least now he can communicate what he wants!

Our church asked Frank, his dad, and grandfather

to be apart of a video discussing the importance

of passing down your faith to future generations.

Benjamin is now the 4th generation Bellevue member.

When they asked us to do the video we had no idea

that it would be the same week that Benjamin would

kick the pacifier, cut molars, and get a cold! Oh dear.

Despite being a difficult week he still did well.

Who needs to buy toys when you have tupperware?

Hunting season is officially over **Applause**

I celebrated by grilling marinated 

duck breast stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeno

then wrapped in bacon. Yum!

Benjamin is starting to point and say "Kkkk" when he see's Marley

And he waves at Valkyrie when we go outside

This month we officially kicked the pacifier!

I was very nervous about how it would go but with some

encouragement from friends and a few tears (from us both)

 Benjamin now goes down like a champ without a problem.  

Sweet victory - It was worth it!

Matching PJ's with his friend Reece during date night play time

Trip to Lowes

Benjamin is offically off and walking!

I wanted to post a video on this month's blog

but it seems he is camera shy and only does it

once I turn the camera off...naturally.

Until next time...
