Ben

So as not to leave out Ben, here are some recent pics of my gorgeous, edible three year old boy.
(I realize I am totally blogging backwards here!)
National Geographic - eat your heart out! :)

Ben has anywhere from 5-20 friends come to our yard on a daily, perhaps hourly, basis. Many of them are quite a bit older than him. Although at times we feel like we are the neighborhood kindergarten, we are thankful that Ben has playmates at a moment's notice. His Swahili has really been picking up lately - important words like "jongoo" (millipede), "kono kono" (snail), "mjusi" (lizard), "acha" (stop), "njoo" (come), "hapa!" (here), "ona" (look) etc.

one of his favorite activities is "fishing" off of our porch


turning 3 on august 2nd. we had about 10 neighborhood kids over for a party on the porch. i decorated the cake using a ziplock bag. Ben didn't seem to mind.



We had a day at Rosslyn where there happened to be facepainting - he wanted
"Lightening McQueen" - the "famous racecar!"
