Sorry for the delay~

I have been a bad blogger these past three weeks. Yes…it has been that long. Yikes. I guess life just got a little crazy for a while. Jeremy has been working so much, I barely have any time with him. So, that means Benjamin is extra demanding. But, we are plugging away. This month, February, is probably going to be the toughest yet, so pray for our sanity as Jeremy works many 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. shifts and I spend a lot of time alone with Benjamin.

What have we been up to? Well, I don’t have a lot of photos, because a lot of our activities have been things like Bible study, story time and a few play dates here and there. But, here are a few.

Benjamin and Jeremy enjoy playing Xbox together when they get the chance!

Some days, we had to be extra creative with activities, because the weather wasn’t  great and we couldn't go outside in the cold rain.

Benjamin has been difficult lately with photos. I pull the camera out, and he wants to immediately see what is on it. I try to get a shot, and it typically looks like this…and then he wants to see it.

Or take one himself.

Daddy and Benjamin read books one night.

One of the weekends Jeremy had Friday and Saturday off, so we went to a pizza party for all the pharmacists at the VA. Benjamin played with these little girls, and flirted shamelessly.

My parents were here this weekend to keep me from having an absolute meltdown while Jeremy worked from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday. So, it was a great weekend, and Benjamin LOVED having all the attention from his Nana and Papa. I took a few photos on my phone, but it  isn’t cooperating at the moment. My dad and I got the basement cleaned and organized, which was a HUGE help, since we are going to need to clear things out of our guest room to make space for another baby room. And, we are trying to prepare the house as much as possible in case we have to sell it this summer. Life is so up in the air right now, but luckily I am in a great Bible study that talks endlessly about trusting in God’s promises, and learning to let go of fear.

I have been busy applying for jobs for Jeremy, and I am sure more opportunities will arise in the coming months. So, keep that in prayer too and let me know if you spot any hospital clinical pharmacy jobs!

I promise to be better about posting more regularly! Benjamin is so darn cute right now…and challenging. He is talking a lot, and repeating most words now. His favorites are “ipod,” and “(angry) birds.”  He loves to play with his Mr. Potato head, blocks and of course, his trains. Rarely a moment goes by that he doesn’t have Thomas the Tank Engine clutched in his little fist. We read many books each day…his favorites, of course, have trains in them.

Well, that is all for now!

First snow

We have been having a mild winter so far (hooray!) But, Benjamin didn’t mind when it go a bit colder this week.

We bundled up and went outside to play in the small amount of snow. He had so much fun!

It did warm up again into the 50s, so that made me happy. I don’t like to be cold, even if it is fun to play in the snow once or twice in the winter.

Here are a few other random photos. Benjamin continues to enjoy ice cream and cookies. He is quite obsessed with them, actually, but who can blame him!

Here he is playing with a Swiffer duster. He loves to “tickle” us with it and laugh hysterically at himself.

After Christmas, Jeremy and I went out to purchase an Xbox for the West Chester Activity Center, since our organization got a grant for some family games. Jeremy was so tempted, that he begged for his own. So, back out to Target we went to get another Xbox. Sigh. His selling point was that I would love the fitness program. It is fun, I must admit.

We had a “brick breaking” competition. I won, of course.

Benjamin loves to play with our shoes. He discovered my boots the other day, and loves nothing more than to put them on and tromp around the house.

Today, we went to Entertrainment Junction to pass some time. Benjamin spent most of the time at the train tables, but I convinced him to try a few other things first. Here he is with his friend Tyler.
