Special Thanks for the Birthday Gifts

Benjamin had a great party in Minnesota and then came home with new clothes and new toys to play with.


Here is Benjamin playing with his new "Lock Puzzle"




Here are Benjamin and Timothy with birthday gifts from Aunt Shelley, Nana, and Grandma Joy. Benjamin and Timothy LOVE the Thomas the Train books. They ask to read them several times a day. The good part is, they actually sit still for the whole story.



Fun In Minnesota

Benjamin enjoyed the trip to Minnesota. We celebrated his 3rd birthday there with some friends. He did well in the car. On his way back to Thompson he played with his new toys. His favorite car toy was the "Robox" aka a robot and the lizard he got from the Sherman family. When we got home, he played with his "lock puzzle" and watched the Thomas the train DVD. He would watch it all day every day if we let him. Here are some pictures of his journey.

Here is his birthday cheese cake with three candles.

A different nursery for Benjamin means new and exciting toys!

Benjamin does a good job of keeping himself entertained during a car trip.

Here are Timothy, Benjamin, and Emily Pearce. By the end of our stay, Benjamin had a good system worked out for playing together: Emily tells Benjamin what to do and Benjamin follows Emily around. They did watch movies together in peace.
