Oh my little Ben is growing and changing so much! He is already smiling, rolling over from tummy to back, making the cutest little sounds that almost sound like he's laughing and he's even learned how to play opossum (when Owen comes anywhere near him, he freezes and has the look on his face that suggests, "perhaps he won't notice me if I am real still.") He's even awake now a lot more during the day. I just love it!

Friday morning, my former student, Allison, stopped by to meet Ben and visit with Owen.
She just graduated and will begin teaching herself in the next few weeks.
Last night we had our friends Scott and Kari over for dinner. They are expecting their first baby in January. They were so good with Owen and looked like naturals holding Ben. I know they are so excited and we couldn't be any happier for them.
