Do you remember the lovely couch shot from early this month when we visited with some Hai Duong sweeties? Here was the after shot that I forgot to update. And here? A new shot of Benjaminh developing his Bully skills while visiting with the same sweeties + a couple more early last week. I'm so proud...

And the get away car...We spent a special day with Benjaminh's first girlfriend, Auntie Kristen, who had a birthday that isn't quite a multiple of 10. How on earth did I leave after a whole weekend with NOT ONE SHOT of Auntie and the wee one together? Oops. Hopefully she can send me a shot to put right here ***

In the meantime I will include the very first shot of Ben and Kristen together, a self portrait taken on January 8th while I was loving on babies waiting for Canadian families.

I do have plenty of shots of Benjaminh developing a strong relationship with Kenzie, Kristen's neurotic dog. They were sharing toys. Sort of.

And finally nearly a week up at Auntie Kimley's lakeside home...and you guessed it...not a single photo to show for it.

I will do better
I will do better
I will do better

Home sleeping in our own beds tonight for the first time in a week and hoping for a repeat of last night when Ben went from 8pm until 6am with nary a peep from his playpen.

Home for a week or so with birthday parties, possible airport meetings, and specialist appointments.

Proof positive that the little guy is self feeding. These are Beech Nut Yogurt Puffs that were gifted from a lovely lady down the lake up north and I'm liking the ingredient list a whole lot...they have a no junk rule at Beech Nut which I am loving...and so is Ben.
