This pic is truly my days in a nut shell. "The Bennett" as Uncle Frank calls him, finds joy in the simple things. You know, ripping things, throwing things, opening, slamming, squishing, breaking, slapping, and I could go on, but I digest. He has a real talent for destruction. Which means, my back always hurts because of the time spent bending over to do damage control. And the weirdest part is, I love it. Even when he's throwing a tantrum while I'm changing a dirty diaper. And though that's a recipe for disaster, I don't care. I waited so long for this little destructo! I completely understand when people say it's like having your heart walking around outside your body. And it's the best feeling. :)

Isn't it pretty? So "pretty" they had to cancel church! Richard loves it though and for being a desert boy, he drives really well in it. When I called Dad last night, he said their power was out and it was "starting to get cold" in the house. Ugh. SERENITY NOW!!!

Cute huh? You should feel his left hook...no joke but seriously though. Ben's talking more and more everyday. His current favorites are; thank you, GO!, and ah-buh-dee? Really he is actually saying way too many to list an it is so stinkin' exciting! The weather here is crazy, Richard and I went spinning across four lanes of traffic after hitting some black ice last night! Not fun. I had to eat a lot of junk food and candy to comfort myself after that! Then again I have to eat a lot of junk food and candy to "comfort" myself after...well...anything! P.S. Tetris, you know what om talkin' bout!!!
