Zoo Atlanta

June 2009

We took Benjamin to the Zoo for the first time here in Atlanta. Jennifer had some work associates that were here from India, so they came along to the zoo with us. Ben loved the elephants, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, lions, silver-back gorillas and panda bears!

Benjamin's First Birthday Party

June 13, 2009

We have a pool party for friends and family in Alabama for Benjamin's First Birthday. We had a ton of friends and family at the party. Ben had such a great time running around and swimming. He was overwhelmed by all his gifts. He had a great time eating cake and had just a great birthday party!

Happy 1st Birthday Benjamin!

June 10, 2009

Benjamin turns one today!!! We made it! One whole year. I can't believe how fast it's gone by. Now my little "baby" is getting to be a toddler. I still can't believe it. I can honestly say, I would never have believed how much your life could change in just one year. However, I guess any first time parent would agree with me. It's the most awesome and challenging year of my life. I've never been as tired or as happy as I have been in the last 12 months. Ben is the light of my life. Happy Birthday baby boy!

His Birthday actually fell on a Wednesday, so I baked him a cake and we just celebrated Michael, Ingrid, Ben and I.

Snapshots in May

May 2009

I took a few pictures of Ben in May. I thought these turned out pretty cute and caught some of his favorite expressions pretty well.

Mother's Day Weekend

May 8, 2009

We go to visit my parents in New Hope for Mother's Day Weekend. "Gran" and "Granddaddy" love to spend time with their only grandchild. Here are a few picture of their house and them pulling Ben in a wagon.

A-Day Game in Tuscaloosa

April 18, 2009

We take Benjamin to Tuscaloosa for the very first time! We also take our Nanny, Ms. Ingrid with us. We love hanging out on the Quad and taking Ben to Bryant-Denny Stadium. Luckily, it was his nap time so he just slept away with over 75,000+ screaming fans around him.

Dunwoody Lemonmade Days

April 13, 2009,

We went to a local festival here where we live in Dunwoody called Lemonade Days. Ben had a great time riding the merry-go-round.

Easter 2009

April 12, 2009

Michael's parents came to visit us in Atlanta for Easter. Aunt Niki and Uncle Thomas (Jennifer's brother) mailed Ben a HUGE Easter basket. We all went to church on Sunday. Here are a few pictures from Easter Weekend.

Ben's First Easter Egg Hunt

April 3, 2009

We took Ben to his first ever Easter Egg hunt in our neighborhood. He was really dazzled by all the kids running around. Thanks to his dad, Ben was able to find a few eggs for is basket. We then enjoyed some yummy treats made by all the neighborhood moms.

Note from Jennifer

OK everyone, It's half way through July and I haven't posted since the end of March. So I'm going to try to do a little catch-up here. I thought I was going to stop blogging. But then I go back and look at everything I've written and I don't regret doing it, so I'm at it again. Enjoy...
