Ham

Sophia's favorite book for almost two weeks has been . She brings it to us and announces, "Ham. Read." Even Luis has it memorized now. She likes to call out the words she knows too...goat, boat, mouse, dark, car!! You better REALLY love the books in your child's library 'cause you're bound to read them a thousand times!! :)

Snow Fun!

The promised snow finally arrived and Ben got to make a real snow angel, and to throw a few snowballs at his daddy. :) It started falling yesterday afternoon and by this morning we had a solid 4-5 inches. Sophia joined us in the afternoon and enjoyed the sled ride the most.

Ok, back with some smiles...

Beleieve it or not, neither Ben nor Sophia really ham it up for the camera, so capturing a "real" smile is not an easy task...so here are two for ya'll. :)

Chef Ben

Do you remember the joy of licking the spoon? :) This is Ben's singlemost motive for being a chef today, helping me to make some banana bread and getting to taste it too!

Lane's Motor Museum

We visited this museum in Nashville for Luis & Ben's enjoyment, but it was Sophia who surprised us...she was switten with the littlest cars and sitting behind the wheel.

Feliz Navidad

It was wonderful having Daddy home to help us celebrate!!!

Four years old today...

We celebrated with a morning serenade, powdered donuts, and some great gifts. This outfit, which Ben calls his "Stormtrooper" outfit, is thanks to his Uncle Drew. :)Sophia got into the spirit,too, and dressed up in Ben's old astronaut costume.

We looked back at pictures from Ben's actual birth-day and were so touched...hope you enjoy.
