An Uneventful Update
Things have been pretty quiet around here since New Year's... I haven't been taking as many photos as usual, and I've let my video camera go dead. I have to get back into the swing of things! The best I can do, as far as new photos goes, is this collection of recent pictures of Ben playing in the house on a rainy day. You can see how much he loves to read. He's pretty hilarious when he leans into a book and looks *really closely* at the pictures! He also loves the broom Grammy and Grandpa bought while visiting over the holidays. Enjoy!
Finally, here are two photos that didn't come out very well... I used my timer to try to get a shot of Ben dancing while I "played" the recorder. He will periodically bring the recorder to me and *insist* on me playing for him. Of course, he doesn't seem to care that I can't really play at all! He dances and dances, laughing the whole time. It's really cute!

Trucks, Turkeys, and a Tricycle...
It's been a long time since I've posted. I will write a longer post about the Feagle's visit--a great week after Christmas!--once I get my photos organized. In the meantime, here are some photos from recent (and random) events from the Land of Ben! Speaking of which, we've added a new play mat to Ben's toy area in the family room. It's pretty cute (thanks, Ikea!)...
Now for the news. First off, trucks. Ben's love of trucks (still called "gucks") is as strong as ever. I love this hat that we received as a hand-me-down from Scott, Paige, and Miles, but I'm sad to report that it's already too small. But I managed to snap a photo with it perched on his head... which frankly seems to make him look like an authentic trucker!
There is a band of wild turkeys that roams our neighborhood (hey, it's Davis!) which always seems to draw a crowd when it arrives. A few days ago, the turkeys hung out in our backyard for about 30 minutes. It really is pretty cool to get to see them just walking and flying around. Here's a sense of what it's like.
Finally, we've had some FANTASTIC weather here... today was 76, sunny and breezy. Atypical January weather even for northern California. While he napped this afternoon, I got Ben's tricycle (a gift from Grammy and Grandpa) out of the garage and ready for some action. When we first built it, the trike was a bit too big, but as you can see it's now perfect! Daddy arrived home just as we were walking down the block, so we all went to the park (about 1/4 mile away) together. Ben LOVED the tricycle and rode it the whole way to and from the park.
