We had a big Halloween this year! Ben dressed up as an adorable little monkey and we went out on the town… Throughout the week of Halloween I think he wore his costume about 5 times, so it got plenty of use. Aside from the adorableness of his costume, it was super warm and toasty, …

Ben had his first day of “preschool” this past week. As a way to get him more time with other kids his age and to get him out of the house we signed him up for a cooperative preschool near our house. He’ll go to school twice a week for the whole school year. A …
