Memorial Day

Mike was gone all last week in Las Vegas for a work conference (poor guy, having to spend the week in Vegas... rough!). My mom came down to help me with Ben and I don't know what I would have done without her! I would have been totally exhausted and Ben would have been climbing up the walls in boredom since I'm not able to travel more than a few miles from our house with him by myself! It was nice spending a week with my mom! It was also nice to have a long weekend with Mike home.

On Monday, we went to my parent's house in Dayton to visit with them,my brother (Aaron), his wife (Jen) and my niece (Elle). Ben is starting to get a little more comfortable with Elle, although he still hasn't warmed up to the idea of sharing toys with her. Maybe one day! Ben is also going to get another cousin any day now! Mike's sister (Theresa) is due with her first child (Ian) on June 1. Here is a picture of Ben and Elle.They are both looking up because I was jumping around like a monkey to get the two of them looking in the same direction at the same time - I should have crawled around instead to get their heads down.
