He climbs on everything!

Lunch Bunch Camp

The gym that Ben has his gymnastics class at is also a pre-school. Twice a month, they have a program called the lunch bunch camp for 3 to 5 year olds. They go there for 2.5 hours and during that time, they eat lunch together, play at the gym, on the playground and do other fun activities. Today was Ben's first time going there. It was also his first time being dropped off somewhere by himself. I honestly didn't know how he was going to do. Was he going to take after his mom and dad and cry or would he love it? Luckily, he loved it! He did great when I dropped him off but was happy to see Jack and I when we picked him up. He liked being around the other children and was very excited that they did an Easter egg hunt. The teacher said he did a very good job (except for dumping his lunch on the floor). He goes back in two weeks to do it all again.

If you're wondering what Jack and I did while Ben was at school, we had a lovely time together at Target and Trader Joes. I must admit though, it was a little lonely without Ben with us.

This is the face of...

TROUBLE

He may look innocent at first sight, but this little guy has become far from it. You have to keep you eye on this one, look away and who knows what you'll find him doing. Afterall, he does have a very experienced teacher and he watches every move that he does. I think we can call them Mischeif Maker #1 and Mischeif Maker #2.

A pirate and a dog

One thinks he's a pirate...

The other thinks he's a dog (and is often carrying something in his mouth)...

Just like daddy

Last weekend while Drew was working out, Ben joined him.

Yes, Ben is wearing underwear here. Is he still wearing underwear?... that is a whole other post for another day.

And just for the record, that is a clean diaper on the table, not a dirty one.

You are my sunshine

Ben and Santa

This is from Ben's birthday, I know that was 3.5 months ago but I have a lot of videos I never put on here from our trip. I will slowly put them up since there are some good ones.

This is at the end of the Christmas parade at Disney World. Ben was in awe during the whole parade and  by the time Santa came by, he didn't know what to say. I love the expression on his face. He looks so innocent.

As promised...

Here is Jack walking

Jack is walking!!!

He's been walking for the past few weeks but tonight is the first night he really took off. He was walking laps around the coffee table. It's like he suddenly realized what he could do and doesn't want to stop now. We love watching it!

Video coming soon.

By the way, this makes me job even harder now :) How am I going to keep up with Ben and Jack running around?

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Is what Ben sang as he played in the rain yesterday

These pictures were taken with my phone. I know the quality isn't very good but there was no way I could have used our camera with one hand while holding Jack. It's supposed to rain again tomorrow so I will try to get some with the camera.

The best surprises in life

When we found out that I was pregnant with Jack, we were pretty surprised. Though it wasn't in the plan at the time, we believed that what was meant to be is what will happen. Nine months later, that surprise became one of the most special people to enter our lives. It didn't take long for Jack Henry to find his place in our family. From the moment he was born, he stole our hearts. Now one year later, it's hard to imagine our lives without this little boy. Thank goodness for that surprise we had 1 year and 9 months ago. Thank God for Jack.

Happy Birthday our sweet boy

We love you Jack

Oh how I love these little faces
