Becky's Birthday

The boys got me a porch swing for my birthday. As you can see, Benjamin loves it! He'd prefer to sit all by himself, rather than on Mom or Dad's lap.





We went for a hike in a "new" state park (one that we'd never been to) the afternoon of my birthday. It was right along the CT river--we had a gorgeous fall day. After we got home, Benjamin went to bed and Jonthan cooked me supper. For dessert, he had made me a red cake. It turned out delicious!

Mini-vacation

The three of us had a little get-away last Monday and Tuesday. We met Aunt Mary and Uncle Ken in Newport, RI and then Boston, where their cruise ship docked. While in Boston, we went to the aquarium. Benjamin LOVED looking at all of the fish and penguins and people. We've decided we need to get some fish to keep the little guy entertained. Aunt Mary carried Benjamin around the entire aquarium. Thanks Aunt Mary! I really could see so much better! (Maybe we just need to have Aunt Mary around to keep him entertained!)

Labor Day Weekend

I was finally able to finish the stencil in the bathroom (as some of you know I've been working on). It took a lot longer than I thought, because there were three layers, and each layer had to dry for at least 48 hours. We really like how it turned out!




On the go!

Why can't I move any farther?!


Um, excuse me, Dad!


Why did Dad have to move me? I had almost made it off the blanket! I would have loved to have gotten my hands on those interesting-looking pine needles!


Tickles from Mama!






This moving stuff sure is hard work! And just when I get close to something I want, I get moved back to the middle of the blanket!


We had a good time Labor Day, relaxing and picnicking at a near-by state park.
