For his eight-month birthday, Benners got...

A COLD! His first real cold, poor guy. He's a trooper though, and still plays through the runny nose, coughing, sneezing, and fussiness. It's his first real illness, so we consider ourselves lucky that he made it this long being so healthy. And it's just a cold, right??? We're bound to see many more in the future. :(

We can't believe it's been eight months since Bejamin Thomas was born. What an education we're getting, and what a true blessing. He learns new things every day, and it's just so cool to see what he manages to figure out all on his own. Time flies too quickly, though.

We're preparing for a major snow storm (again!) today, that's supposed to bring us 6-12"!!! Guess I won't be planting my peas in the garden this week.
