1) 1st let me start off by telling you that Grandma is home from the hospital. She is still having nurses and physical therapy visit the house, butt she is doing great!
Benji and I have to keep and eye on Grandma 24/7, so we are being her nurses too!
Mommy's sister texted her the above picture of us working hard taking care of Grandma on Thursday while Mommy was at work.
The phrase: "Working Hard - or - Hardly Working" comes to mind.
Mommy said immediately when she saw the picture she said, my boys are working so hard keeping absolutely still so mom can get some rest and relaxation. Good work boys!
Other people who see the picture think we are sleeping on the job -- WHAT!!!

2. It was Mommy's Birthday on Friday, February 3rd! Happy Birthday Mommy! Her birthday is the day after GroundHog's Day. Not sure if everyone knows about GroundHog's Day or is that just an American thing. Anyway, the Groundhog predicted more winter -- which is ok with us -- cause it's been such a nice winter so far without much snow at all.
There is a movie called "Groundhog's Day" it came out in 1993 that starred Bill Murray. Anyway, Mommy has never seen the whole movie -- she watched part of it -- and the main character keeps reliving Groundhog's Day over and over again. Mommy said that would be horrible to keep reliving Groundhog's Day over and over again -- because her birthday is Feb 3rd , the day after Groundhog's Day -- and she would never get her birthday cake! Mommy isn't sure how the movie ends, but hopefully it finally gets to be Feb 3rd at the end of the movie.
In the photo above, Benji and I gave Mommy one of those fancy "Vera Bradley" bags for her birthday and we put bows on ourselves too. Mommy said Benji and I make great gifts, but she says, the best gift was having her mom back home from the hospital. (Mommy wishes she recorded the look on her sister's face when Mommy said, "Wow, that bag is big enough to fit all of Lassie and Benji's toys" -- Mommy sister's jaw dropped and said "You better not -- do you know how expensive that bag is!")

3. Benji turned 6 months old on February 4th! Happy Half-Year Birthday Benji ! Mommy's oldest niece wrote on a balloon for Benji and Mommy made a Smurfette Balloon for Benji to celebrate! We have a quick video of me and Mommy singing to Benji on his half-year birthday.

4. It's Superbowl Sunday today! Here we are playing with our footballs.
Waiting on the sidelines.

Sorry for not coming very often lately as there is so much work at home lately! Will try to work hardern: )
So much to celebrate. I'm so glad to hear Grandma is recovering after the surgery. Keep up the good work, guys. I don't reckon you were sleeping on the job, I think you were doing a good job of sleeping.
ReplyDeleteWow! You all have had a lot happening! We're glad to hear that Grandma is doing better and send happy birthday wishes to both Mom and Benji.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed Superbowl, too, but think we may have done more eating goodies than watching plays. Back to the diet on Monday!
