Playdate at the Burkle's

Today Katherine, Caleb and I went over to the Burkle's house for a play date with Ben and his Grandma T, while his parents are in China getting baby Tessa. As soon as I got up this morning I checked their blog and saw pictures of the new happy parents with the baby girl they've waited soooo long for. She's adorable! I can't wait until they get home so I can hug that baby girl. Ben is thrilled that Caleb will now have a friend to play with while he and Katherine hang out doing big kid things. We're all ready to have you home! I've got to say that I'm glad it's you on a 16 hour plane ride with a 12 month old, and not me! LOL.

Here's some pictures from today. They're not the best, but I thought you'd want to see them anyway!

Ben and Katherine playing Chutes and Ladders --

Here's a couple of pictures of Ben and Katherine sitting on the couch. Michelle, I had the hardest time getting Ben to sit still! Finally, I bribed him with a cookie, and look at the smile I got. LOL (Katherine and I made cookies last night and I brought some over to T and Ben).

Ben made a wonderful zoo out of Lincoln Logs, and had little animals in pens. He was so proud of it!! I tried to get him to sit behind it so you see it, but he didn't want to.... Anyway, the zoo is behind him! The picture is really dark, but I thought you'd still like to see your little boy!

Michelle -- Ben also decided to redecorate your house. He made tons of artwork, and hung it all over the living room! You can see some of it in the background, but he probably made no less than 30 pictures. LOVE IT!

Tomorrow after preschool, we are heading to Chuck E Cheese with Ben and Grandma T. The kids will have a blast running around and then will *hopefully* be tired for their naps. LOL.
