It's all about Ben..

And yes, I can vouch that he DOES do his own stunts.





We recently started to use the bike trailer that friends gave us (thanks Cat and Steve!) and Mike has taken him out once it is. In a word: he LOVED it! He loves his helmet — can you tell?! He was laughing and giggling before they even left the driveway.. and it put him to sleep on the way home after a good un-scheduled playdate/swim with Aiden and Nathan.

The plague!

Our little house all got sick.. tried not to share, but I guess it was destined to happen! Ben seemed to be getting better, and then started to go downhill. He didn't eat for what felt like forever, and lost a few pounds. Took him back to the doctor when his cough got worse, and sure enough, my other fear — ear infection. But we caught it on time, got him on some medicine and he is back to normal! Eating! Sleeping! No coughing!

And because he was still under the weather, our family pictures were a no go for him! We went, we tried.. and we left! Will try again this weekend!

Mike got the awful sinus cold, too. And then it hit me! Can't wait until we are all healthy, especially now that the nice summer weather is here.
