Vroom!

Saturday Morning Dance Party

We start Saturday's off with a living room dance party. It get's everyone moving in the right direction.



Get down...



Come on Dadda!

Into Stuff

Alright, so we both are to blame. Ben isn't supposed to get into all the Wii remotes and wires and I'm supposed to stop him.





So far all he knows is that pressing the buttons makes a few blue bars light up.




Hellooowww? Hellooowww? I think I need a tissue.



Close inspection.



Any action on this side?



Am I doing anything? Is it working? Nooooo.

New Photos-New Camera!

Scored a sweet little Canon Eos Rebel XS from ebay so we could take better pictures. Right out of the box we've got some good ones to share. Before setting out for our Tuesday we experimented a bit.

Nice job posing buddy!

I'll take one of you now Dadda.

Hang in there for just a few more

Almost done

Ok I can see you're bored now. Let's get going.

February 2009 Plaster Fun Times

Ben is not shrinking. I've just put together a short video when Caitlin, Lindsey, Steph, and Mimi came down last February. We went to Plaster Fun Time! Ben was practicing his babbling and grabbing. February 2010, babbling and grabbing are replaced by many words and running around the house, superfast.

What A Year!

Looking back at tons of video footage shot during 2009 shows how fast little guys like Ben grow and develop. So the plan is, 2009: A Year to Grow. It'll be a collection of videos from each month of the year.

Here's a teaser from January. Boy, that was a long time ago...

Choo Choo Surprise

No more Christmas tree :(

We took it down New Year's weekend.

In it's place in the corner we set up Ben's new train to distract him from the missing shrubbery.

First Powder Day

Ben got the local goods right out the front door today in his first powder day on skis.

Mimi says he's a natural. I can't disagree.
