Summers Farm Pumpkin Festival

Today, we took Ben and Lily to a pumpkin festival at Summers Farm in Frederick. It was great (minus the driving rain storm for 10 minutes. We took refuge in the petting zoo!)

Coloring

Lately Ben has been very into coloring. Or as he calls it, "ca-ya." Here are two pics of Ben and Lily coloring together.

Ben the baller

Ben is now tall enough to dunk... Sort of.

A boy and his Elmo's

Ben now fits in Lily's old Elmo crocs. He loves them and wants to wear them all the time!

Siblings

This morning, Lily and Ben were both up early (not unusual). This morning, however, They sat quietly together and Lily "read" Ben a book. It was so sweet!

Lily draws Bert

Lately Lily has gotten very good at drawing characters. So far she has done Mickey, Minnie, Curious George, and several of her stuffed animals. Her is one she did tonight of Bert.

Family reunion in NJ

This weekend we were in NJ for the Straus family reunion. Here are cute pics of Lily and her cousin Vivianne, te kids playing badminton, Ben putting stickers on his body in the car, and Ben enjoying his lunch on the way home.
