Week of Firsts

We're back!! Last weekend we missed blogging because of hurricane Ike - unfortunately, Swan cabin lost power for about 48 hours so we were temporarily displaced to Mimi and Swanie's house. No worries, Benjamin successfully survived his first hurricane AND behaved like a perfect little baby during his parent dedication at church...he even sat through Big Church afterwards! He made us so proud!

This week Benjamin has really started grabbing at toys and clothes and well EVERYTHING in sight...yes, this definately includes earings and hair!! He grabbed onto Ali's ear for the first time...luckily mom and dad were close by and able to pry his little fingers off before he pulled too hard. We are just waiting for him to grab Bailey's tail and experience his first dog bite...you should see his little eyes watching that tail!

Last night Benjamin had his first East Texas Fair experience AND attended his first football game...Go Lions!! For those of you that don't follow JT football they won 28-24...looks like little Benjmamin just might be a good luck charm. Here's a pic from the fair of Benjamin with "Cujo" his stuffed dog that his dad won for him by throwing the rubber chicken into the pot!
