13 months...

Ben is a true toddler. He is having fun walking and running everywhere. He loves to have fun. He has learned how to scream. We are waiting for the day we are in church and he starts with his high pitch squeals. He FINALLY got three teeth. He has his upper two and lower one. He found his eyelashes. It sounds kind of weird, but check out the video below. He does this usually right before he shuts his eyes to go to sleep. He says a few words, all done, mamma, dadda, Hannah and night night. He has his own language most of the time. He loves balls, cars, and anything he should not have. He LOVES raspberries. He pops them like candy.

Grant's Birthday Party

Last weekend we spent in Neenah. It was our nephew, Grant's 3rd birthday party. We went a day early and spent the night at a nice hotel. We had fun in the pool and enjoyed extra time with Jeff, Kristen and the kids. Grant's party was on Sunday. It was filled with great food, trains, presents, baseball and of course cake. Happy Birthday Grant!

I love hotels!

An Angel from God

A few weeks ago we attended the baptism of our new niece Elise (Ellie) Marie. She was beautiful in her gown and alert during her celebration. It was neat to see her wear the same gown Hannah wore 3 years ago. Ellie, you are truly a gift from God.

Running off some energy before the service.

Pretty Ellie.
