Happy Birthday Ben!

Can it be 3 months since Ben's arrival? Some days it feels like it and other days it surely can't be 3 months already behind us. I'm sure Ben outweighs Sam at this age by 3 or 4 pounds. A couple of weeks ago, I weighed Ben in his car seat at the Dillions store by our house that has a BIG scale, and the 2 together (ben and car seat) was 22 pounds. It's becoming more difficult to lug Ben around in the car seat, so we have been using the car seat and the stroller together when we go out places that would involve carrying the car seat around for long periods of time. Ben has been blessing us with many smiles and coos, and especially by sleeping most nights until 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning. Although not to get too proud of his "accomplishments" he woke up around 3:00 the last 2 nights and demanded a little snack. We have yet to figure out why he doesn't enjoy trips in the car, I'm not sure how Sam survives there in the back seat right next to the screamer. Hopefully by next month we will be able to report he has learned to enjoy trips in the car (because we all know, Sam needs to visit Walmart and Target toy aisles at least once a week - just to look, or as Sam says, "I know that we're not going to buy anything., and I'll have a good attitude.")

This weekend we are going to Hutchinson to spend the night at the Kansas Splashdown Hotel/Waterpark. (That is assuming that Ben makes the 45 minute ride). We are all looking forward to getting out of town for a weekend, and also for a chance to refresh our "swimming" skills that we learned last summer at the Swim Club. We'll have more pictures from our weekend soon!
