Benjamin's New Groove

Just like Kronk in "The Emperor's New Groove," I have two little versions of me hovering nearby at all times.  

The harp-playing, nicely-illuminated, "let's go plant a tree" kind of character...

...and the sneaky, shadowy, "he's got that mischievous look in his eye" sort of fellow.

Personally, I think they're both cute and credible.

A Dad's Wish

I wish my eyes could take pictures.

I wish my mind could make movies.

I wish I could document every new emotion displayed on the face of my little boy.

I wish I could share the warmth of his laugh and the brightness in his eyes.

Get your tissues ready.

To the park, driver!  (Pictures of Ben's first bike ride.)

Well, I'm glad we bought that nice big crib for you, Son...

Billy Joel, Elton John, and The Newcomer

As some of you may have noticed, two of the world's permiere Rock/Pop pianists are coming to Utah in the near future.  However, you probably don't know about the incident last week when they both came to Ben for some musical advice.  When Sir Elton asked Ben about the advantages of "light-up sparkly stars on the keyboard," Ben simply smiled and said, "DaDaDADADadaDAdaDA."

How true, Benjamin...  How true...

Feeling "Spring'er jized" (well... for a day anyway...)

Yes spring came and then left,  so we tried to live it up.

  Benjamin was in a discovery wonderland playing outside. 

Yumm,  grass...
