Austin come to me....

Benjamin is 6 weeks old and has been such a pleasant little babe. Weston teased (before he was born) that we couldn't get a better baby than Warren but I actually think that Benjamin is a little easier. His temperment is very similar to Warren's as a baby but he sleeps longer stretches than his big brother did....hopefully I did not just jinx myself.
All tuckered out. Benjamin saddled up for his first road trip. Post Ike, on day 12 of 14 without power we decided to take off for Austin to visit our friends Mike & Cheri for a few days. Benjamin is totally starting to get some chubs on his legs and I couldn't be happier....Warren never got those scrumptous thighs.
Warren, Andy Roo aka Rambo, Amelia & Benjamin playing at the airplane park. I was having a hard time getting all the kids to look at the camera at the same time so I took several shots, doing all the stupid things moms have to do to get their kids attention. Apparently Warren thought I was taking their individual pictures and thought it was his turn. He started to get bugged that Rambo kept saying cheese everytime I snapped a new shot. As pictured below, he finally turned to Andrew, shakes his head and says, "its not your turn for cheeses, everytime Andrew, you say so many cheeses!". Toddler drama at its best.They took us to Central Market for dinner and live music. The food was yummy and the atmosphere was so fun and refreshing. Down a nearby trail the boys found this awesome tree and had a ball climbing and exploring it. If I hadn't had surgery recently I would have climbed it myself.
Da boys.... Andy roo, Mr Warren and Jake the snake hangin out.

Warren and Amelia duck watching with Cheri. We had such a great time and are looking forward to future trips to come!
