Ben's New Favorite Game

Ben's new favorite game of late is walking around the apartment with a pen and paper and him asking any one who will listen to draw for him. The requests are usually relating to some type of sports ball, until tonight. He asked me to write down names of people that he knows-here is the result. Enjoy!

P.S. When the game ended, Ben looked at me and said, "Dont worry Dadda. Even though I didnt mention everyone that I know and love, I am sure that they know that they are always in my heart. I just wanted to mention these names."

Trout Lake with Beth in January(?)

Nope, it was last week but "Happy New Year" is one of Ben's great phrases. Also, for a laugh... A few weeks ago at church someone asked Ben what his name was and he said, "Carl." Yep, Carl.

Here are some shots from Trout Lake. When he is saying "bye damma" it is to the camera not a Grandma (just in case anyone was worried).

Eb-a-ton

As many of our faithful blog readers know we have an abundance of friends who have moved or are moving away. Ben just asked about going to the "udder park" with "Yona-tan and Sarah" this morning. When I tried to explain "Edmonton" he looked confused and then made an attempt to say Eb-a-ton. Here is a little post for our first set of friends to leave rain city. Good news it was really warm and sunny in Eb-a-ton this week (even if you can't walk to the grocery store).

Feeling Tired?

I know that I am these days. Enjoy this video.

Hats!

Here is Ben and Callah playing with Callah's construction worker toys (: And below is Ben in Davey's bike helmet (why he is wearing a bib is another story).
