#4 Bike Ride



YouTube Video


Just in case you miss me announce it six times in the video this is our first bike ride. 97 hours of labor to put bike seat on...well worth it. He is smiling ear to ear under the monster helmet on his domepiece.
Enjoy

Watch Out Ladies


YouTube Video

...Some boy named Ben is getting his wink down. Step one the smile - check. Step two the wink - a work in progress with the single eye but if there are two ladies - check.

My Lil Marley Fan


A rainy day.  Having to stay inside.  No there is no cat in the hat, nor thing 1 and thing 2 that came by.  Just a visit from a Rastafarians Work, and then comes a smirk that turns to dance.  Bob Marley's Could You Be Loved is just right for the bobbing of the head and the waving of the hands.  Volume up and this Dr. Seuss rhyme is retired, sit back and watch it twice it will be worth your time.

 

Johnnie Walker.....


Green.  Yeah I just did that.  But stay focused on this. 
This was Benjamins first great walk.  He did it of course when Daddy was away.  So when I received this video, and Rejoiced to the Lord in loud shouts of Acclamation I sounded and no doubt looked like a mad man whose team just won the big game but it was on a Wednesday and without Wednesday Night Baseball on, .... one can only assume that Akron was playing Florida International in a meaningless college basketball game.....so security at the conference was definitely called on me.  The next stage began here, the crawling stage has been put behind us.  Johnnie Walker is doing it now like he has been doing it for 171 years, so smooth, people are telling us that before long 15 years will have gone by.....when the smells of fresh grass on his part of course fill the air, while mom and dad are eating our vanilla and fruit with a nice wood smoke in the backdrop.  Enjoy the video.
