Ben's turns 1!

Oh, Ben. I can't believe you have been with us for a whole year now! You have made our family more complete and I can't ever imagine a time when you weren't here! From the beginning you have been a super happy, easy going, laid back baby. Thank you! While its not always easy being the younger brother, you don't ever seem to mind! You love Canon and always want to do whatever it is he is doing! You were our chunky baby and have grow into a big toddler, weighing in at about 25 lbs. You are wearing mostly 18 month clothes and mama has even gotten to buy some new ones since our seasons for hand me downs are off now :) You share a room with Canon and still sleep in your pack n' play (on an extra 3" mattress we bought when you were a baby!). You are also our early riser and recently we can hear you pushing and pulling at the rails at 5:30am. You've started walking a bit and now whenever we try to carry you somewhere you insist on being put down, holding onto one

Thanksgiving 2015

We had a really great, low-key Thanksgiving! My mom hosted, which meant we didn't have to travel and got to home base (nap) in our own house! We are so grateful my sister and her family came up and can't wait to all be together again at Christmas! Wednesday night we went out to eat....these boys are 1 year apart!   Thursday morning Amanda and I ran the Alexandria Turkey Trot. It is a 5-miler and I was feeling  nervous about it given my lack of running lately. I told myself I'd run the first 3, then walk the last 2, but ended up running closer to 4 miles! Hooray!  We celebrated Wes' 2nd birthday!  And the "big boys" got to play by the water.  Friday night we walked into Old Town to see Santa and Mrs. Claus! It was a long wait, but totally worth it! We saw the same Santa last year and Canon was much happier this time!  Then Sunday we got our own Christmas tree!  Hope your Thanksgiving was filled with lots of
