surviving the new year...

hello again! well, we did survive the bermuda triangle of events that happened to ben in january, but there seemed to be a new set of them in february! oh my. i guess this is what life is like with a preschooler, a toddler, and a baby on the way - fun fun! actually, it is pretty fun most of the time, just a little crazier around here this year than we are used to. but things are getting settled down a bit more now, although ben and i are both still sick a bit. we usually don't get sick much at all, but this winter has taken a toll on us and momma is over it (although secretly she loves holding me all the time, which is what i want when i'm sick, so it's really not a bad gig for her since i'm super snuggly)...

anyway, next time we really will post pictures of our christmas fun and ben's birthday, but momma found more cute ones from december that she wanted us to put up first, so here goes - our final, final post from 2011. hey, it was a good year, what can we say? we just wanted to hang on to the good times a bit longer...



family boat ride in the woodlands...


momma loves taking pictures of all my different faces...



and here's what momma actually looks like, in case you don't remember, since it's a rare occurrence for her to make an appearance in front of the camera...


and this is what i look like if you try to put me in a vera bag. very uncool. apparently this particular one is just not one of my favorite patterns, sorry...


but i do get a good laugh out of ben putting himself inside a suitcase. momma should have started documenting the hours we spend playing with various luggages around the house. they're definitely in our top 5 toys ever...



also in that list would be cell phones, which is ironic since momma despises hers and avoids talking on it as much as possible. apparently that didn't get passed down in the genes, because you can see how i'm really cracking up at this particular conversation i'm having...



it doesn't take much to make me happy (as long as you don't stick me in a bag). and despite all of ben's ailments and injuries, he is staying pretty happy too. in the pictures below, we are trying on our snow boots that momma ordered for our christmas trip to indiana (follow up to that story later). ben loved wearing them around the house for several days before our trip!


and we'll close it out with yet another goofy face i'm making. that's about all we do around here is play with luggage, pretend to call people, and make goofy faces. and eat - i can't believe there were no pictures of us eating during this whole post - amazing!


okay, see you again soon! bye!!! :)
