Story Time

Ben decided last minute to not just take the afternoon off but the morning too so we could all go to story time today at the downtown library. He has been gone so much lately that it was nice for him to see Keenan in his play element with other kids. We met Keenan's new friend Baily (and mom Carolyn) and they enjoyed each other way more than they enjoyed the puppet show. We decided he is just too young for that special show they put on today. We will have to stick with the regular story hours but it was still fun to try it out. We ate at the french bakery Provence afterwards outside. Keenan ate my salad and we have learned that he really likes lettuce (who knew?)

 

 

 

 

Did we happen to mention he loves the camera. He is quite a poser when we point it at him.

HAPPY NEWS

I would just like to say how happy we are to have this wonderful news that Ben's dad is cancer free. This just goes to show what we always knew about him - that he is strong physically and mentally and can beat any odds! They have had so much support and prayers being sent their way for months which (of course) shows how many lives he has touched.

We couldn't be happier....I take that back, we would be a lot happier if he was feeling good, gaining more weight and didn't have to use the feeding tube ~ But with that said ~ it is situations like this that make us all believe in something bigger than us.

Here is such a sweet picture of him and our niece Elaina...



So in honor of him - we just want to say Congrats and we can all breath a little easier this week!

Play Date at Zoo

Yesterday was so beautiful we did a spur of the moment play date at the zoo. It seems many of us were dying to get out to enjoy the weather because it was a great turn out. Although the moms get more into the animals then the kids, we all had a blast!

Thomas & Keenan

Keenan had fun at the zoo a few weeks back with Thomas. He also really enjoyed borrowing his rocking horse.

A quirk we want to remember

So Keenan is absolutely fearless - he is into everything, loves anyone and is quite independent. He is so social and very inquisitive about anything and everything, including all animals, bugs, etc... BUT we have found the quirk - he is terrified of these toy balls that have fingers coming out of it. We are not sure if he thinks it is a live animal - but he is absolutely a mess everytime he sees one. We didn't want to forget this to tell him about when he is alittle older. I am sure he will be tickled to know how scared he is of a toy someday. Therefore, just an FYI - he has a birthday coming up and this is not on his list :) ha ha!!!

Backyard Swing

Our new nightly ritual...the backyard swing before bed. He loves it ~ and his dad about killed himself climbing the tree to get it up.

Nate's Excersice Ball

K-Ed had fun playing with Nate's work out ball at Tanya's Birthday bash. It was a long day so we didn't stay long, but he put on a good show for everyone.
