Benjamin's first haircut! What an event. Al gave him a Certificate of First Haircut afterwards, with a commendation for bravery, and he gave us a LARGE baggie filled with all the clippings.

Anyone who can blow a whistle like that at his friend's birthday party shouldn't look so surly. But then, Benjamin didn't want any chocolate cake either. We assume these things change with age.

With his friend Amina and Mama's friend Jessica, who have moved to New Jersey, which makes us sad.

Benjamin and Justin are double godkids, which is sort of like double cousins but not really.

Benjamin was a cowboy for Halloween 2000. Get it - cow boy? Ha ha. Well, at least someone's doing yardwork.

Benjamin LOVES to read. Here he is with Papa, Steve, and Miles, excellent narrators all.

Benjamin also LOVES his belly!

Benjamin and Ella have fun at COSI.

Some scenes from Christmas 2000 with Gummy, Gumpy, & Aunt Susy.

Holidays in Virginia, with Uncle Barry, Aunt Terri, Uncle Paul, Eve, Uncle Gene, and Uncle Rob & Aunt Mimi.

Dad looks at the card Benjamin made for him.

Hanging out with Arcadia (and dad Eric) at Ali & Michael's New Year's party. Happy 2001!

The Parents as Teachers play room is one of our favorite places.

We also love to go to story times at the libraries. Libraries are so cool!

We went out with Grandad for pizza - mmm-mmmm!

Eighteen months old, March 1, 2001, and out for pizza again, with Aunt Susy this time.

A born comedian.

Out for dinner with the gang. What are you and Benjamin drinking, Uncle Chuck?

"In my spare time I like to complete crossword puzzles."

Benjamin's second annual trip to Ocean City, NJ, May 2001.

Behaving in church with Kennedy.

Morgan and Benjamin have a great big time.

A slice of the entertaining chaos at Benjamin's second birthday party.

Hey you, today I'm TWO.

Life is good with Ma and Grandad.

Having fun at Thanksgiving with Morgan and with Aunt Rose. Do things appear a little tipsy?

Benjamin takes care of his Baby Mimi.

Talk to the hand.

A most indicative scene from Christmas 2001.

More! I haven't seen enough Benjamin yet!
