"Once our eyes are opened we cannot pretend we do not know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls knows we know and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12

Well, no posts because we really do not have much going on! Tom is not around to assist in photo taking, so we don't have as many pictures! We have been keeping busy, going to story time at our local toy store Play, continuing to introduce Ben to our friends, etc.

Our friend Sara made this sweet toy for Ben:

Ben and I went to brunch this weekend with our friends Kim, Sarah and Sarah's daughter Gigi- I learned that Ben will sit happily and enjoy his breakfast (2 pancakes, eggs and some yogurt) as long as there is a kid next to him and plenty of people to return his waves...

We also went to Chinatown for dinner, and learned that Ben really is more a go to out brunch kid.. needless to say, I ate dinner from the take out container once we got home....

We also went to the Children's Museum at Navy Pier to visit a friend we met at church who is leaving TOMORROW to bring their son home from China too!  We are so darn excited for them.

Needless to say, with all this action we eventually came down with mild colds, but are on the road to recovery. Good thing, because we are going to a baby shower at Tom's work on Friday, and Saturday we are having family pictures taken!

Enough talk, here are some pictures:

 This Nordstrom bag that his shoes came in is a current favorite toy. 

This kid LOVES oatmeal!!

 With his sucker from Chinatown

Third favorite toy- his mini Dyson.  Second favorite toy, the actual Dyson. Loves to vacuum.  We say goodnight to the vacuum at night..
