He's nine weeks old already!

I put Ben on his tummy to play today {doesn't happen very often as I'm afraid he'll get trampled} and he was holding his head up SO well, I just had to get the camera. By the time I got back, he had rolled over! By the look on his face, I think he surprised himself! :)


The rest of these are just...cute. He's such a little PERSON! :)

Some pics from our outing today...

Since Larry is on a study break right now, we had a chance to get out of the house and go to the park today. It was a beautiful day, and afforded us the opportunity to get some great photos. Here is one of my personal favourites; I will refer to it often when I need a reminder of how blessed I am to have these five people in my life.


Our two youngest are bonding already (Benjamin just doesn't know it yet).


This one pretty much speaks for itself:


Here are a couple of pictures of the beautiful park we visited.




Believe it or not, this is the first time either Jonathan or Mae have attempted to climb a tree. What were we thinking? ;)






'Course Larry knows how to climb a tree...and insisted on hoisting Jonathan up into it despite my pleas and the repeated rolling of my eyes...


Then of course Mae wants a turn...


And what kind of Daddy would he be if he denied THAT face??

Cincinnati girls at heart...

Well here are a few pics of another "stellar wardrobe choice" as promised! :) Our girls wore these to church on Sunday and then to an engagement party afterwards. Ain't they cute?



How'd that stinky lambie sneak in there? ;)
