Which will he miss more.... His parents or the IPad?

Gotta love the shoes

Bennett wearing his first pair of bowling shoes. One and a half sizes too big but you wouldn't have known. His first game he bowled a 99! He enjoyed it.

Bennett in CO with his new best buddy

These are photos from CO. Bennett and I are visiting my friend who is vacationing here at their second home. We are having a great time.

This is a picture of Bennett and Darwin. Darwin is my friends dog and he is amazing. Soooooooo tolerant of Bennett. Bennett is doing a pretty good job for him.....

The next photo is Bennett holding the ball chucker. He likes to carry it around. Not good at chucking balls but CAN throw a pinecone with it!

camp

These are "pre-camp" photos from today. He loves his backpack but today it was heavy! These are the best shots I could get and they were from my phone. Bennett had a great day, really did well. Tomorrow will be even more interesting as I'll drop off at curb (instead of walking in) and he will not have any early intervention teachers helping in room.

going to camp

Bennett is starting camp tomorrow. He is going to camp at the temple where he will go to preschool in September. Howard and I felt that he really needs an opportunity like this in order to transition well in the fall. Camp three mornings a week for three hours a day means I will have respite! Hip-hip-hooray. The time will go by fast. I won't know what to do with myself. (well, I will know what to do, just saying that...)

The photo. Yes, Bennett is now two and a half. This photo was taken when he was six months - two years ago. Howard and I love this picture. When you go to camp, you hike...... I just love my guys!

bonding, respite and an amazing gift

I just received an amazing gift. One of my very best friends is flying me and Bennett to see her for a visit. It will be before things get (hopefully) very crazy here with travel plans. This will give me a bit of respite. Her place is very serene. This trip will also give Bennett and I a last hurrah of bonding and one on one time before his sister gets here.

I will never know how to thank this lovely woman enough. It was hard for me to accept such a generous gift but she said it would show a sign of maturity. Ok, so I guess I'm growing up. At my age, showing more maturity is not ALL good!

I am a very blessed person.

Happy 60th Birthday Nana

I'm making you a cake Nana! Hope you had a good day. Love you.
