Atlanta

We visited Dave's parents in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago.  Both girls were so good on the airplane.  As long as we had snacks they were happy!

Look at our Halloween books Nana gave us!

Sunday afternoon we went to a local pumpkin  patch.  Dave didn't make any of the pictures because he got left at home - asleep.  Gracelyn and Ellie had fun exploring the pumpkins and pine needles all over the ground.  Unfortunately, most of their exploring is done with their mouths!

Gracelyn was so excited to be at the pumpkin patch!

Ellie--I don't know how we got this precious picture because she had a pumpkin stem in her mouth the entire time!!

Sweet girls




Every Halloween since we have been married, I have told Dave I wanted to carve a pumpkin, but we never have.  We finally carved our first pumpkin this year!  I got most of the goop out, but Dave did the hard work.



Turned out pretty good, don't ya think? 

Ellie and Gracelyn had such a good time in Atlanta.  They can't wait to go back in March!!

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

Image
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
