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

Cake #1

I think these pictures speak for themselves

Boy things

That's how I feel when it comes to pirates. They are so not my thing. I guess I don't get sword fighting and treasure maps. It just so happens that it's Ben's thing. He loves all things pirates. His new question of choice now is "do you want to play sword fighting with me?"

Oy vey!

Here is someone who can relate to him (in case you can't tell, that's little Drew, 6 years old)

I had to throw this one in since he's so cute.

A flashback

Do you remember this picture?....

Sweet little, bald, 9.5 month old Benjamin

Well, here is Jack at almost 1 year old, taking after his big brother

Yes, both of my boys like the dryer. Every time I do laundry, Jack is right there next to me, pulling clothes out of the dryer, trying to climb in or closing the door.

Yo ho, yo ho

A pirate's life for Ben

Not only did Ben get to try on dad's old pirate hat

he got to wear the whole costume

Could he be any cuter?
