I just love this picture. Ben picked out this new Dora book today and was excited for Daddy to read it to him.
Chris and his crayons. He loves to play with these things... he tries to fit more in his hands than he can hold and studies them... lol

Chris looves it under the table for some reason. He's still just scooting around, but today he figured how to get OVER the beam under there. He was so proud of himself!

We took an spontaneous trip to the Great Smoky Mountains over the weekend. It was lots of fun. We rented a chalet and just relaxed and had a fun time. We went to this cool place called Wonderworks which is built upside-down. It was cool. We can't wait to go back.

Ben just loves notebooks. He has a major love of Blue's Clues, has ever since he could express his preferences for what we watched. When Joe or Steve go to get their notebook, Ben goes "oh, notenote" and runs to go find his. He sits intently drawing his "clues" along with the show. Sooo cute.
And here is is "helping" Mommy with the laundry. He was having so much fun playing in there...
