This is how Ben starts his stories.

I am always pleasantly surprised by the photos you can get from an iPhone and an app with a few filters. I have better cameras but none that is with me as often as my iPhone.

I had some fun this morning taking way too many photos. Most of them were crap, partly because the little one just won’t sit still! Even so, there are a few that turned out well. And really, what else could you expect with models this cute?!

UPDATE: I posted a link to an article on learning to be lucky, but had to delete it because I didn’t want this cute face to get pushed down the page. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to bring myself to add a new post.

Today Danny and I were hanging out in bed and at one point Ben came running down the hall towards us. Danny caught sight of him, flashed one of his whole-face-smiles, made a kind of squealing noise, and started to bounce up and down because HIS BROTHER WAS COMING TO SEE US!

Ben came in the room, jumped onto the bed, and gave Danny a Ben-hug, the kind where he hugs you so tight he grits his teeth together a little bit because he loves you THAT much. Then he kissed Danny on the head and ran off, and poor Danny was left looking a bit sad and wistful. Until he started bouncing again because HIS BROTHER WAS COMING BACK!!

The cake I baked for his second birthday.

The blur of life used to look like this

Now it looks more like this.
