November

benjamin has been eating all kinds of new food, but mostly sweet potatoes.

boy, are we sick of sweet potatoes.

wow. i have never seen benj love anything as much as this balloon from uncle marky.

can you see how proud he is?

who is this cute baby?

we are still in the throes of remodeling the laundry.

benj gets to be in on all the action.

i think he is as sick of being in that room as his parents are.

admiring the perfectly straight lines.

good job, mom and dad.

jesse had a birthday. 29!

benj got a bath in the sink. so fun.

still crafting up a storm. behold, my thanksgiving bunting.

we had another successful pie night! i made sweet potato, lemon meringue, and peach pies.

and we tried to take a family photo:

so tomorrow is december 1st and our christmas tree is already dying. arg!

i thought if anything would motivate him to crawl, it would be getting to the tree, but no.

come on benj! you can do it!
