If Nolan’s expression below isn’t a “Ben” expression, I don’t know what is.  The last month or so as Nolan really turns into a little boy, many people have been saying that he looks more and more like Ben.

Ben had what we call a public talk this past Sunday- a bible speech prepared with the public in mind.  This was his first time giving this particular talk, and he spent many hours putting it together, the duration of which was 30 minutes long.  Since Ben hasn’t had a new suit in literally at least 6 years if not more, and has been left with only 1 suit for the last couple years or so, we decided it was time to purchase a new one.  I was fortunate to find one almost exactly the same color as his previous light suit (that he wore into the grave).  I had actually saved his old light suit- just not bearing to part with it quite yet in case something could be done with it to spare it somehow as it had always looked so fantastic on him.  I realized perhaps there was enough fabric that could be salvaged from the suit to make a matching suit for Nolan, and as it turned out, there was.  They looked so cute together!

For the most part, Nolan sleeps in his own bed in his own room as he has most of his life.  But now and again he’ll wake up in the middle of the night, disturbed by possibly a bad dream or some such occurrence and he wanders into our room to finish the night out sleeping with us.  It’s fun and cozy since it’s not every night- we can enjoy these occasional times.  Thank goodness for a king size bed!  I go to crossfit several mornings a week now at 7a.m., so some of these mornings when I come home I can find the two guys in my life still cozy in bed.
