Happy 4th of July

This week, Grandma has been here to help with Ben. This weekend, Grandpa joined her for the holiday. Here are some pictures!

Sitting on Grandma's Lap

Ben had an excellent day with Grandma today. He enjoyed playing, sleeping, eating, and sitting on her lap.

A Boy and His Bear

Well, it was Lily's bear, but she shared him with Ben.  Yesterday, Ben was in a happy mood so we decided to sit him up on the chair and take his picture with the teddy bear. Enjoy!

I can hold up my head!

Lily's Dance "Show"

Lily has been eagerly awaiting the day of her ballet "show."  I kept calling it a recital and kept getting corrected. Here is a video of her "solo."

Sam's Bar-Mitzvah

This past weekend the whole family packed up and went to Chicago for Sam's bar-mitzvah.  Here are some pictures from our adventure.
