Family/Maternity Photo Session (preview)

My friend Angel, who is a professional photographer, did a great photo session with us last Sunday.  The weather was glorious and we had a great time.  These are just the preview photos!  --Victoria

Things Benji Says (not his job)

We were in the car a few days ago and Benji suddenly announced:  "Playing is not my job.  Sometimes, my job is cooking.  When my stomach hurts, I cook for myself.  Like hot salad."

Don't ask me where this came from.  I have NO idea!  --Victoria

Things Benji Says

In the car this morning, Benji said:  "Mommy and Daddy?  Can I come with you the next time you go to the doctor to see the babies' bones?  Because I want to see our whole family."

"Seeing the babies' bones" is how we explained the ultrasound photos to him.  We continue to be surprised at how excited he is about details of my pregnancy and his eagerly-awaited brother and sister.

Race Track

Gone are the days of "trains and tracks" all day, every day.  These days, it's all about race cars and race tracks.  Despite its resemblance to a parade, this was a grand race with multiple vehicles that Benji set up earlier today.  Unfortunately, the three monster trucks on the right were not spectators but trouble-makers who started a fight as soon as the race was over.  --Victoria

Things Benji Says

Conversation over dinner this evening (between many repetitions of "sit down," "stop complaining," and "eat your fish and broccoli"):

Benji:  "Daddy, how high is google?"
Aaron:  "What do you mean by google?"
Benji:  "Yes."

Life is never boring.  --Victoria
