Last weekend was our big family reunion and Ben was the youngest family member there, so he got lots of attention. We had such a great time at the ranch with everyone. I have such a wonderful extended family, and feel so blessed that we all got to get together. My grandmother has 4 other siblings and each of them have pretty large families of there own. There were probably around 50 people all together. Jessica came to take pictures for us...can't wait to see those!!

What's up with Ben lately? Well, he found his toes. Every time we get him in his bouncer, he grabs for his feet. This week he has been growing like a weed. He now drinks 3-4 ounces of bottle, so mama has been working extra hard to keep up with his needs. I am still breast-feeding, but he is liking the easy flow of the bottle more and more. During some feedings, he actually demands the bottle instead of me. A little sad, yes, but all that matters is that he is getting enough nutrients no matter how he gets it.

Around the house: We now have a house right behind us, so Will and I are on a mission to do some extra landscaping in the back for some much needed privacy. I hope these neighbors will be as wonderful as all of our other ones around us...

Things we are looking forward to: Our trip to Colorado in July, our many baseball games this summer with a bunch of different social groups, our 2 year anniversary, helping my parents find a new home after Sara graduates, Ben's first swimming session, going back to church, and spending time with our families this summer!

In our prayers: Mama J.'s surgery next week, Ben's health, Will's back pains, my dad's shoulder and knee healing, wisdom to be good parents, Mandy and Lane, Rebecca's family,
