Lovin' is what I got....: What's New?

Its been awhile since I've made a post. Why? Benny is on the go and getting into lots of trouble. Why is having Benny kind of like having a puppy? They both like to dig in the dirt and chew on things they aren't supposed to. We have this bigger plant (a hibiscus) in the dining room. He LOVES to dig in the dirt. That and attempt to chew on electrical cords. Both are bad ideas. I try to have the house babyproofed. But, you can't put a gate around everything and you can't unplug all electrical devices. Truth be told, I'm finding this phase of Benny to be a difficult. Just feel like I cannot do anything. He loves to play with this toys and read books if I am down on the floor playing with him. But, left on his own---he's into trouble. If you parent folks out there have suggestions, feel free to let me know! (Disclaimer: Benny really is a very good and sweet baby. I just with it weren't so difficult to make dinner, brush my own teeth, practice for church, or send an email.)

Some fun stuff we have done since I last posted. We went to Max & Melissa's wedding. Very fun wedding. First wedding I've been to that had a photo booth and a 'candy bar.' Kevin and I ran our 5K! We finished in 31 minutes. Not bad for not too much prep. Also, Kevin took off last Monday from work. We did some work around the house and then took a walk along the bike path and grilled burgers on our deck. A welcome relief from being home by myself with Benny for a day. On Tuesday, I got to tour where Kevin works with Grampie and Papa. Very interesting! Speaking of Papa---Nana and Papa flew to Belgium yesterday to visit John/Marian and their kids. They will fly from Belgium to Florida and then back to Ohio at the beginning of December. We are going to miss them!

And, how could I forget, I donated 12 inches of hair to locks of love! Here are the before and after pics:
