Yes - it has been WAY too long! For how much I truly enjoy this blog, I can't believe I have waited 3 months to post. So, I'm not going to bore you all with the past few months. Let's see if I can sum it all up... Ben is growing far quicker than I would like (yet I am so anxious and excited for each of his next milestones). We've had lots of visitors and loved every one. I still go to work every day and still wish I was home with Ben. We are still doing the home search, which is hopefully
very near to its close. I still have the best husband, family and friends a girl could dream of - thanks y'all for loving me!

| My boys! |
So a couple weekends ago, Greg and I took Ben up to Freeman Farms to pick our pumpkins. Joe, Shilo and Myles joined us, and we had a blast! The drive was easy, the weather was great and the farm was totally worth it! We will definitely head back next year.

| "This year, I am thiiis tall!" |
 |
| Ben's little tractor. |
 |
| Mommy and Ben (and the ever present hands in the mouth!) |
 |
| My two favorite boys. |
 |
| Notice Ben's trying to kick Myles off.....ha! |
 |
Yeah, this was the best we could get. Trying to get two infants
to look at you through a hole is not an easy task! |
 |
| I have the best family!!! |
 |
| The McNeil family - love you guys! |
 |
Not one of Ben's best photos, but that is one
good looking tractor driver!! |
 |
| Hurry.....get the pic... |
 |
| ......we're going......... |
 |
| ......and done!!! He was not having it at all....ha! |
 |
Oooohh....that looks like fun to put in my
mouth. (Mommy may have screamed once
or twice in the taking of this photo.) |
 |
Great family shot...though I would hate to be the
recipient of Myles' mad dogging. |
 |
Not quite sure what is so fascinating with Ben's mouth, but
we sure do get a lot of pictures with Myles' hands in there! |
 |
The "belly-free" boys! (I spared you all the photo
with all 4 bellies bared. :)) |
 |
| Ben's first hayride!!! |
 |
| That sure is one pretty donkey...Ben is fascinated! |
 |
| Poor little goat didn't know what was coming. |
 |
| Staring at the cows...so cute!! |
 |
| Just his size! |
 |
| We made it out, so I guess we made the right choice! |
 |
| Our pumpkin! |
 |
| Well, maybe Greg's pumpkin...proud daddy! |
In the process of writing today, I heard my little Ben dish out the biggest belly laugh. We tried to capture it, but missed the best part. This is still a pretty good video. He sure does love his doggies! Also, he pulled himself up from laying to standing using his new LeapFrog table. It is so amazing to see the changes he goes through and the growth he makes on an hourly basis. I could sit and wonder how much I miss while he is with Miss Angela during the days, but I choose to believe that he saves all the good stuff and all the 'firsts' for me!
