Woefully neglectful 4th of July photographer!

We went to Houston for the long 4th of July weekend and introduced Bennett to the wonders of James Coney Island. He acquired a "hot dog man" mask which turns him into a superhero, which he loves (and put on every time we got into the car during our stay). We had gone to Discovery Green, an awesome park/splash park in downtown Houston for the morning before we stopped into James Coney. These pictures were taken within 10 minutes of one another, so I think Bennett might have worn himself out. Other than these, I think Arty took a picture of Bennett playing tea party with McKenna and Natty and some of Bennett at the splash park, and that is all we have of the 4th weekend. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time visiting with everyone and Bennett LOVES spending time with his cousins and Houston family and friends. And these pictures show Bennett exactly 2 months before his 3rd birthday! He's definitely mama's big boy now!!

Handy Bennett

So, Bennett adores Handy Manny, which, until recently has been relegated to a love of Handy Manny on TV. However, upon a recent trip to SuperTarget in which Mommy was on a very long phone call, bought herself the new Sarah McLachlan CD and STILL needed to grocery shop on the other side of the store, Bennett was the lucky recipient of a talking Handy Manny doll that came with all Handy Manny's tools! And now Bennett can fix random objects just like Handy Manny!! Now, we find the tools doing all sorts of work around our house...I guess I should just count my blessings that he hasn't started trying to take the dogs apart yet.

No crib for a bed

we're out at concerts in the garden and our poor child's bed is his wagon. Oh well, jesus did it nd he turned out fine, right?

Let the summer begin!

Our first watermelon of the year, and Bennett was so excited to cut into it! You can see from the pictures that he LOVES watermelon. We're ready for the summer!

Until Arty does his fancy slideshow, here is my flickr acct so you can see more pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/12523720@N00/

Bennett is in heaven

Buzz Lightyear to the rescue.

Character meets

Bennet has loved meeting all his favorite characters.
