Ben's first tooth!

So I wanted to let everyone know that Ben has gotten his first tooth. I tired to take a picture of it but it is hard enough for me to get him to let me see it, let alone take a picture. I can't believe how big he is getting. We sure do love him!

Ben's First Basketball

Ben got a new toy today and he had a blast playing with it. It is a basketball hoop that when you pull down on the hoop it cheers. He just kept pushing the hoop over and over. He loves the basketball too but more to eat than to put in the hoop.

Tulip Festival

We had this great idea to go to the tulip festival at Thanksgiving Point. We tried to go on a few different days but either homework or weather had changed our plans. So Friday night was our last chance to go. Rain was threatening but we decided to risk it.

We arrived and started walking around the grounds and about 5 minutes later it started to rain. We kept walking and looking at the beautiful flowers with Ben bundled in his stroller. The gardens at Thanksgiving Point are beautiful. We had never been before but are looking forward to going back when we can actually get Ben out of his stroller to take some pictures.

Ben was happy all bundled up in his stroller.

We found some shelter to be able to take one picture with both Ben and Dad visible.

And the winner is....
