Pictures and Video

So Don has been busy over the last few weeks working on new photo galleries and on the amazing Benumentary. He was able to post them to the website and link them in over the last 24 hours. Just a warning that the Bentastic, first six months Benaversary Benumentary might get a little boring at times as Don found it hard to cut footage out. There are several times where you are literally watching a baby sleep. But on the bright side it should not take you six months to watch, and it is a lot of great footage of Ben and the rest of the family. Enjoy!

Iterium Update! - The Texas Perspective

Greetings from Texas, everyone! The family has been very busy in the last month and a half so, I thought I would let you know they have not fallen off the face of the earth and are actually doing very well. Tiffany, Jacqueline and Benjamin visited Texas in October, while Don stayed behind to hold down "the fort".

Don worked some very long hours, spent time with his mom and Nee (while his dad traveled for business) and kept the home front running while the rest were gone.

The three that came to Texas had some good parent/grandparent time and meet the newest family member (Matthew Crockett Lasiter)! They also spent some wonderful time catching up with friends. There were lots of cuddle, play and showoff times!

Ben discovered hours of sleeping on Granma GeeKee is much better than a cold lonely bed, had a wonderful time rolling and scooting backwards all over everywhere and made progress in the ability to crawl! Jackie did a lot of roaring, quacking, hooting, zooming, and beep beep choo chooing, as well as collecting every stuffed animal in the house (and there are alot!!), "visiting with" my doll Patty Play Pal, rocking on Uncle Russell's wooden horse and "cooking" with her mother's Fisher Price kitchen items. Tiff Ann finished Jackie's lion costume, added a skirt/ruffle to Jackie's fall tee shirt, went through some boxes and items to decide what I am going to ship to her later, shopped and visited with friends and family AND snuggled with the new nephew (just not enough).

We never cease to be amazed at the brilliance of the little ones and are very proud of the parenting observed in our Tiff. The trip home was very long and trying but Tiff does say she will make the trip on her own in the future.

The above mentioned parents/grandparents had a wonderful time and are very grateful to Don for sharing his family with this extended family. The pits and pieces left behind (toys, crumbs, things to be shipped, memories...) continue of bring moments of giggles and joy!

There should be an official update very soon. The preparation time before the trip and the readjustment/catchup time following the trip have left them with little time to share their perspective on the events and happenings. Please keep checking the website. In the meantime there may be items on Facebook. Don should also have pictures soon as well.

Thanks for checking in and also for allowing this Texas Granma GeeKee to share a bit.
