Visit to Mt. Gretna

Conrad, Ben and i went to Mt. Gretna for a little trip before I have to go back to school on Monday. It was delightful to get away even if it was only for a couple days. It was hot and humid, but there was a fantastic storm that came through and cooled everything off.

Great Gran Buck with Ben. She sure makes him laugh!

This little man got a little tired, waaaaaaaaaay past his bedtime!

We took Ben to the Jigger Shop (an ice cream parlor that is a staple of Mt. Gretna) and he saw/had his first Jigger (an ice cream sundae). Boy did he love that whipped marshmallow topping with Jigger nuts!

Here are a couple of videos. the first is Conrad playing peek-a-boo with Ben.

This second video is just our cheeky Monkey.

Ben fell asleep the other night and he looked so peaceful. What a beautiful boy!

But.... what a messy eater!!!

I have to return to school on Monday, and am a little nervous. It has been a while since I was away from my little man for so long everyday. I am sure going to miss our time together. He is such a good boy and so much fun to play with. So... WISH ME LUCK!!!!!! I'm going to need it!

6 months old tomorrow!

I can't believe that Ben is almost 6 mos. old! He is such a kick to watch. He has developed so much in the last month, he rolls over, grabs his feet, grabs toys. I love just watching him play and sing. He is the biggest ham, well... that is, next to his daddy. We are thoroughly enjoying our summer (which has flown by). We had such a wonderful time on the west coast visiting friends and in Ben's case meeting new ones. But enough talk, here are some pictures. To start them off, his latest expression, which we refer to as bitter beer face... Pretty cute stuff :)
