Happy Ben

For the second time this season MN has beaten WI in basketball. This makes for a very happy husband and father in law. Last night I had the pleasure of attending the big game here in MN at The Barn. It was a very exciting game, down to the wire. Before we left for the game I asked Ben who he thought would win the game and he said, "the good guys" not able to resist I had to ask who the good guys were and he of course said, "The Gophers". Today he said the reason that the Badgers lost was because they were too slow which is quite funny given that WI does actually play really slow basketball. I think that I have lost this battle, there is no way we can live in MN and I can raise a Badger fan. Although I still have hope with Emily, very little hope...


Ben is so proud of his sister. Every day Ben says something adorably sweet about her. She thinks the sun rises and sets with him and never wants to be left out of anything he does. One day this week Ben introduced Emily by saying..."We have a pretty girl coming, she is pretty cute" Here is the photo from her entrance....

A few weeks ago Mike and Ben were in St. Cloud, MN and Emily and I were in Madison. Mike sent me this adorable picture of Ben getting ready to go to sleep with the caption:

Ben, in bed for the night: "I want mama!"


It sure is nice to know that my little boy still misses his Momma! Look at that face! It reminds me of a scene from the movie ET!
