Each day is a little different but I have a good routine.

I run errands with mom in the afternoon

August is going to be a busy month for us.

We have a contract on our house on Palisade and have found a beautiful home in Central Gardens.

Just working out the details before we post the final news and pictures.

Looks like we will be closing at the end of August

Hopefully we won't loose Benjamin in all the boxes : )

 It took a lot of pictures to finally get one where Benjamin was not crumpling or eating the birthday signs.

Benjamin made great strides in learning how to crawl this month!

I posted a few videos of his progression over just a week!

Benjamin absolutely LOVES peak-a-boo with daddy!

We have enjoyed spending our mornings outside

playing while the weather has been mild.

Teething on a carrot

Playdate with his friend Joshua (below)

Joshua "Hey I want to play with your red cup"

Benjamin "Sure friend...you can play with my cup."

Benjamin "Ok...that's long enough."

Benjamin "Serves you right"

Once Benjamin got his cup back all was well again : )

Look at that belly!

Hanging out with friends

The girls love playing with Benjamin and Reece

Kendal is now asking to pray for "Baby Benjamin" at night - so sweet!

Trying to get his shadow

All tuckered out

Brusing his teeth at Nana's house

This is a picture of going to get Benjamin from his nap after he pulled up on his crib for the first time.

He was not too happy since he didn't know how to sit back down.

July is going to be a hot one!

Looks like we will be finding fun things to do inside : )
