We Miss You, Grammy!!

My mom came and stayed with us when I went back to work in April. She kept Ellie and Gracelyn for 2 months. Having her here was such a blessing to Dave and I. Not only did our girls not have to be put in daycare, which was something I was worried about because they were born so early, but they had someone keeping them who cherished every minute. Everyday when I left for work I knew that they were loved, played with, changed when they needed it, taken for walks, all kinds of great things. I know the two months they spent with their Grammy helped Ellie and Gracelyn be the easy going, happy babies that they are today. We are so thankful that my mom stayed with us and took care of our precious girls.

Benjamin at 6 months

Ben is such a joy!  He is such a sweet, loving, cuddly, happy baby!  Ben loves taking a bath.  He will splash and splash and splash in the tub for as long as I will let him.  We haven't started giving him any food yet.  I can just picture the huge messes ahead and figure if I can put it off a little while longer, why not?  I know, by the looks of him you would think he eats us out of house and home!  He is a big guy and we love kissing on and squeezing every sweet soft roll!

November

As I was looking for pictures to quickly update about November, I realized I don't have many.  Here is Ben trying to eat the stem of a pumpkin.  He had to squish his face down against the pumpkin because the stem was so short, but he was determined to bite it.  Repeatedly! Gracelyn and Ellie had their first program ever and I missed it.  Yep, I deserve mother of the year.  I was at home with Ben and just forgot.  If you know me, you know I cried.  It was a sad day.  And I can't find a decent video to copy from anyone.  The short clips I do have are really far away and all I can really see is that it was absolutely precious.  I still can't believe I missed it! We drove to Atlanta for Thanksgiving.  We had a great time with Dave's parents! Everyone was exhausted on the way home!  It was a LOOOONG drive home!  I did almost all of the driving and drove through the night so we could get home for Dave to work ...

Just because...

It was a nice day today so we went in the front yard and played for a little while.  The girls had fun running up and down the sidewalk while Ben just bounced away in his bouncy seat.  Love watching these precious babies grow up!! Gracelyn Ellie Benjamin
