So yet again its weeks beyond when I wanted to be posting but I just never have the time. Amazing how those two little guys eat all my free time. So lets see... Whats new? Ben has discovered the fun in hiding toys and having us find them and vice versa. But the cutest is when he hides things because he usually hides them in the same spot, which is not so well at all. He gets so excited once he's hidden his toy and drags us to the room. Of course Joanna and I play dumb and can't find his hiding spot and typically within a few seconds he gets so overexcited that he shows us where he hid it.
Last night we tried watching a movie with Ben. Normally he's a big fan and he was very excited to watch Chicken Run. So we popped it in, made popcorn and got the fire roaring. Except, Ben was scared of the dogs that kept chasing the chickens so we had to turn the movie off. So we put on Rudolph. Safe enough, right? Nope. Ben was very scared of the snow monster so we had to turn that off too. So we settled on cartoons and all was well.
And all of the latest pictures:

Other exciting events...Ben has taken up finger painting and was quite talented! He, in fact, made Grandmas birthday card finger painting. And Grandma said it was great and she's not biasedat all, so it must be true!
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. Everyone got together at Oma's house, including little cousin Julia. Noah and Julia had a definite affinity for each other! My how family get togethers have changed! Definitely for the better I think.
Here is Ben at Monkey Joes. Grandma and Bobe took him here while we did some work around the house. Monkey Joes is a big indoor inflatable park that Grandma may have actually even had more fun than Ben! Joanna and I have been there yet, but we've heard great things!
And here is a
great video that is incredibly easy to make. I made it at a website called Animoto. Short 30 sec videos are free to make. Full length songs are $3. Just upload all the pictures that you'd like to include. Pick a song and let Animoto do its thing!
And of course how can I forget Noah's first snowfall!
