Benjamin's Birthday Party Photos

So I'm finally getting around to posting Benjamin's birthday photos. We rented paddle boats again (third year in a row--it's what he loves to do), had a picnic lunch at the lake, then headed back to Aunt Marianne's for presents, cake and her pool! Enjoy the photos!








The nice staff at the boat dock took the picture so we all could be in it (Uncle Eric had to work).

Memory Lane

So, I was going through a box and found this picture of Justin and me when we were dating.

I decided to have some fun and do a then and now photo since my hair is about the same length.
We still have the same shirts; I still have the same necklace. That said there are some differences. Justin points out that my hair doesn't have as much strawberry in it now. He has facial hair; I'm wearing glasses instead of contacts. We are cuddling a bit closer :); it is our front door in the background and not the Jones'; and Benjamin is taking the picture (he had to stand on a chair to get the same angle).

Wow, time flies!

Madeline Smile

She is such a happy baby! This is one of my favorite of her smiles--she scrunches up her nose, squeezes her eyes shut, and shows all her teeth.Usually she smashes her gums together more, but this is pretty close.





Additionally, she got a hold of Mr. Potato Head's smile and decided it made a good chew toy--my slow phone camera made it difficult to get a good shot, hence the blurry.
