Daddy Gym

Bennett takes a break, building up steam....

Daddy's home!!!

Daddy gym time begins!



A Man And His Machines

Sitting out front watching traffic is a favorite past time! Ben gets so excited by the vehicles on this busy road, I have to laugh. Horse and buggies get him talking, too!

I'm not sure why I was surprised that Ben wanted to use the vacuum! It has a motor!


First Mother's Day

Ben was so sweet to get me these flowers! (thanks, honey)

Say What???

Yes, Ben has a smile big enough for a commercial! One of his favorite foods on his short list of things he wants to eat is Beef Jerky. Hmmm...what did he used to eat? Daddy doesn't mind sharing his snack and it sure gets Ben drinking!

Serious Conversation!




The city slicker goes to the farm! Learning to enjoy animal friends.



Ben is now aggressively trying to learn words. He asks, "What's that?" in Chinese. You will say what it is and then he will often will say "huh?" Sometimes he will say, "Huh?" again! In normal conversation he will also occasionally say, "huh?" and you get to repeat yourself! I wasn't expecting such specific effort. I figured at his age of just 2 years old he would just gradually switch to English words. It is so cute watching him make a big effort!
