New Toy

Ben made himself at home in the box for our new microwave - he takes his blanket, buddies and flashlight in there. Why DO we buy these expensive toys for him when he's perfectly content with a box?!

Grandad's hat-

We survived pink eye and the fever for five days! Nothing really new - Ben has been talking up a storm and puts together as many as 8-10 words at a time. He wants to do everything by himself ("Ben do, Ben dooooo!").

We were at Bebe and Grandad's house last night when he spotted all of Grandad's hats hanging up - "I can't reach them" - (also one of our favorite lines, it sounds like he's from Ireland or something).

Lake of the Ozarks

We took a Willis/Maddi family vacation last week and despite the pink eye (Ben) had a great time!
