Grammy's Visit!

I've taken way too long to post an update about Grammy's visit in May (blame the end of the spring quarter and Ginny's visit last week for my delay!)...

Grammy spent the whole week with us, and helped out SO MUCH with Ben! They played, ate, and hung out together every day, and I was able to get quite a bit of work done, which was fantastic. Some of these photos were taken by me, and some by Grammy. I'm especially grateful that she snapped a few good candid shots of Jonathan, Ben, and me together. We have so few of the three of us together! Here are some of the highlights of Grammy's visit (in no particular chronological order).

Lots of books were read that week!

Grammy and Ben had lots of fun in the backyard!


I love this shirt... it was a gift from Grammy!

Hanging out in the backyard...


The Feagle boys...



The farmer's market! (Ben fell asleep about 30 seconds after we took this photo!)

Staying Cool

We're having a heatwave. Today it's going to be about 98 and tomorrow it will hit 103. It's hot. Ben and I are staying cool (while Daddy's at the boat) by hanging out in the shade, eating popsicles, and playing in the sprinkler.






Future Career?

Ben loves helping out around the house. This is a good thing. And lately, he's become very *insistent* on doing the sweeping and vacuuming ALL BY HIMSELF. I'm starting to think he might have a future in the janitorial arts...

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a great day... This morning Ben and I played a bit in the backyard.


He loves his slide!

Then he *helped* me with my potted veggie garden. (This photo was taken right before he snapped my pepper plant in half!)


Ben likes climbing on his inchworm...


And what day wouldn't be complete without some naked pool time?!?

Almost a year ago...

Here are a couple of photos from last summer. Thanks, Auntie Amanda, for reminding us of how much Ben has grown up!!!



(And look at those fat little legs!)

My Boys

Oh how I love them both! So cute...


I wish it was chocolate...

During his nap today Ben somehow managed to pull off his DIRTY diaper (through the leg hole of his shorts!) and then *play* with the mess. It was the most disgusting thing he's ever done. And yes, I took the time to go get my camera and take a picture!! Gross. But he's still so cute!
