This winter in Seattle is nothing compared to my past two winters in Chicago! I mean, I'm happy rolling around in a T-shirt. With Bennett and Daddy to play with indoors, life is a hoot. Here's all of us on one such occasion:

Daddy has been very busy teaching Bennett those crucial Laves traits. For example, here, he's teaching Bennett the special "Laves" smile (good for catching the ladies ... or ... getting a fist in the face if you are taunting the OU Sooner football team)

and here Daddy's teaching Bennett how to look surprised when your hand is caught in the cookie jar!

All those lessons (and some milk) just exhausted the poor guy, and he was fast to sleep in minutes!

Lastly, my friends (from L to R: Cole, Reilly, Max, Leah, me) thought it would be funny to all sit on Daddy. Sure enough, the person who thought it was funniest was ... Mommy!
