Mom - Watch this!

Harrison is into showing off and attention - this is nothing new actually. He loves to do these poses, pause and say "Mom/Dad - watch this"! It is really funny. I got a few pictures of tonight's show!

Faces too cute for words!

Fun in the snow!

We got our first big snow fall of the year - close to 6 inches.  The boys have taken full advantage of it - snowman and a snow ramp in the yard (thanks for Dad).  We must have had 10 neighborhood kids lined up for a turn! 
More snow fun to come...

12 hour stretch!

So, two nights ago, Caroline had a 12 hour stretch.  I actually did not sleep well though as I kept thinking she would be waking up soon.  I hope we are starting a good pattern here!  Let's see how tonight goes!  I wish I knew the secret --- I would do it every night!

Date night!

ht!Bill and I went out to dinner on Saturday night to celebrate my "retirement" - a nice steak dinner at Mortons. They actually took a picture of us and since I hardly post pictures of me (or Bill) to this blog, thought I would share!

Nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby!

Painting fun - and messy too!

The other day, I let the boys paint. I normally only allowAndrew to do  this when Harrison is sleeping but Harrison LOVES to paint at his school so I decided to give it a try. They had a great time - completely entertained for 30-45 minutes. But, we did have to go straight to the bathtub after! Harrison ended up painting his hands, belly and some of his face too! (I ended up letting  him paint with his shirt off hoping it would help!)

We have a roller!

About a month ago, Caroline rolled over several times from her back to her belly but never really did it again. Today, she rolled over from her belly to her back! An exciting moment! We now offically have a roller!

A new chapter...

Well, today I end a chapter of my life and start a new one.  Today is my last day with Accenture...turning in my life in the corporate world.  A tough decision after 12+ years with Accenture but I get to do something that I have always wanted to do...stay home with my children.

I am really looking forward to it!  I know my kids are too!  I have a wonderful husband that makes it possbile for me to do this too!  So blessed!

Fun times ahead!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from the Benitez Family!
