The March Santa Is Grumpy

Benjamin was chatting in his non-stop usual fashion today on our walk.  We were on a wooded path and a bearded gentleman was headed in our direction.  Clear as day Benjamin says, "HI!" to the man as we passed him.  The man didn't acknowledge his greeting.  Benjamin turned in the stroller to look back at him and said in his not-so-quiet and unusually clear 2-year old voice, "That Santa Claus was not nice."  I heard the man grumble, "Not so nice, huh?"  Hopefully he will find it was as funny as I did...

Boring Bath Time

Benjamin takes a bath almost every night.  If he misbehaves during the day, his punishment is no bath.  Seriously.  This goofball's most favorite time of the day is bathtime! 

Eli is ONE month old!











Papa and Benjamin

It's pretty safe to say that Benjamin adores his "Papa."  They are silly together, and when they need a break they "sit and warm their backs by the fire".  Benjamin will run to any fireplace and invite whomever is closest to "warm their back" with him, just like a little old man.  :)

Eli Lawrence Gehring!


Welcome to the world Eli! Born 5 days after his due date on 1/15/12 at 4:59PM; measuring 8lbs 13oz, 21.75". We are so happy that you are here and can't imagine our lives without you!

Zoo Lights

It was very cold and the line for the train was ridiculous, so we just walked around. Regardless, Benjamin had a blast touching ALL the lights, hugging the dressed up characters and drinking hot cocoa.
