Ben's 1st Thanksgiving

Ben enjoyed his first Thanksgiving with his family. Unfortunately, Bammie was not able to join us for the holiday feast. She was very sick and stayed home in bed, so she would get better.

We hosted dinner at our home. We had 15 people for dinner this year. Nobody went hungry, that is for certain. Keith and I made the turkey, stuffing and acorn squash and the rest of the family members each brought some thing to eat, as well. It was a nice day and Ben was such a good boy. He is very social, so it seems that the more people around him, the happier he is.

Ben had the opportunity to meet his Uncle Brad for the first time. He really loved his Uncle and thinks that he looks a little bit like his Uncle Brad, when he was a baby. Good looks run in the family!





Ben's Great Grandfather, Papa Hartle is visiting for a month. Wow, does Ben love his Great Papa. He really has taken a huge liking to Papa. Papa comes to visit Ben once every few days, while he is here. Ben just loves to have Papa tell him stories and sing to him. If Papa moves from one place in a room to another, Ben's eyes follow Papa where ever he goes. Ben keeps his eye on Papa and watches every move he makes. It is something else watching the two of them interact. Mommy loves it! Papa is very special and apparently Ben knows that

Wonderful pictures! It certainly was a special Thanksgiving, even if I was sick. Ben certainly is a happy,growing baby. He's catching up to Zac, Meghan,and Ava. Molly and David, I am thinking of you and praying for Meghan's perfect recovery. Love, Bammie
