Apparently Ben would have enjoyed watching Joey Lawrence on Blossom!

Greg and I had the opportunity to visit NYC for a long weekend. Ben stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa Abbott and was spoiled like crazy :) He seemed to do really well so that made Greg and I feel good. We had a great time and did so much in so little time. It was really nice to spend some time with Lindsey, Marc and Kailer...when they are in Michigan they have so much family to see, we usually only end up seeing them for a little bit. Lindsey was a great tour guide and we couldn't have done all the things we did without her. One of Greg's good friends lives in New York and we were able to spend some time with her and her boyfriend too! Overall we had a wonderful trip and it was nice for Greg and I to spend some time together, even though we both missed Ben, we knew he was in good hands.

Cute Ben Pictures

Does this face make it obvious that I am up to something?

It has been awhile since our last post, so I thought I would just update with some pictures. Everyone is doing great! Ben is so much fun and loves to make us laugh every day. He loves tickling people, pets, etc... He says a bunch of words and tries to say a lot more. He does some sign language...which he learned only by watching his Baby Einstein DVD in the car. He thinks everyone with a beard (white or not) is Santa or HOHOHO as he calls them. It has been a blast getting ready for Christmas this year because we get to see it through the eyes of a child again. This week we need to make Christmas cookies...can't even imagine the mess that will come with that, oh well! This time of year always reminds us of how blessed we truly are.
