Avocados! and More Visitors

Ben tried avocados last night and sadly I can say we have found a food he does not love.  He tolerated about 6 spoonfuls, but as you will see in the pics, it was just that-tolerating.  We will try again in a month or two.  Speaking of tolerating, picky eating was not tolerated while I was growing up and will not be tolerated from Ben.  I am so thankful my parents made me try things over and over as I can say it's hard to think of a food I don't like.  Ryan is the same with the exception of crunchy onions so I hope we can join forces to create a well-rounded palette in Ben.
Ryan's Grandma Virginia and her husband Robert were in Wichita from Dighton, Ks for some medical appointments and stopped by with dinner and home-made apple pie!!  It is delightful to watch Virginia with Ben-she just eats him up and grins from ear to ear.  She reminds me so much of my Grandma Theresa that my heart is full to know she would have had the same love for Ben.  We are blessed to have this family so close while we are away from home and blessed that they make it a priority to visit.



Ben doesn't seem so big in Robert's lap

Ben loved Grandma's necklaces
