This weekend, Ben was relaxed and in a great mood pretty much every minute — which Karen said was the best possible Mother’s Day present.

Ben likes to see (via the always-present pad) what's to come, and this is a pretty typical afternoon schedule

Ben and I enjoyed dodging raindrops on the Edgewater Park trail with Cleveland on the Lake Erie shore behind him.

Ben loves those little board books with the windows you open as you go along. What he loves best is tearing the little windows off. What he doesn't like is waiting until we have actually paid for it.

Maybe Ben is tired of Papa Paparazzi always snapping his picture.

 

Ben's favorite activity not involving food is walking, like here along a beautiful path in Edgewater Park.

Happy Ben = Happy Mother’s Day
