Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We have had a very busy couple of weeks.

First off, my dad's sister, Crystal, stopped by for a visit. She had never met Paul or Benjamin and I hadn't seen her in several years myself.
She brought him a cool Mylar horsey balloon which he loved to watch from his high chair, since that put him at "eye level". We also got to have one last visit with Stephanie, Ian, and Marshall before they head off to Mali. You can track their adventures here.

This is what happens when Marshall attacks.... (just kidding, but you have to love those unexpected and strange pictures when they pop up!)
Saying goodbye....That same night we headed to the Kossow's house for a big b-day celebration. Ronda's birthday is Nov 12th, Mark's is Nov 20th, and Paul's is Nov 25th, so we were celebrating them all.
Sacked out after a rough night of partying.... Actually, he wouldn't give in to sleep. I just sat next to him and he finally relaxed.
Peek-a-boo - I think it is time to put the crib mattress a little lower! We only set him there with his turtle mobile long enough to wash hands and clean-up after a diaper change. however, he can already pull himself to his knees. Still no crawling though!
We spent Thanksgiving at the Hennan's in Ashland. B-Man had a nice big portion right along with everyone else, including cranberry sauce, turkey, bread, and mashed potatoes! If this is a before dinner shot, imagine after dinner! :o)Here are some more couch time pictures from Thanksgiving weekend. Benjamin is so much fun to play with now! However, playing can be painful at times... hugs and kisses too for that matter!
