Hanging with the Kids

The Thimmes family has gotten into a routine around here. Well, as much as you can with two tiny ones. We now have nursing most days, which has helped a lot. Ben seems to be doing better now that the weather is warmer and the flu/cold/sickness season is over. He has gotten into Harry Potter, thanks to bookshare.org with its downloadable books.

Summer is fun for us. We just had Sophie's 3rd birthday which she celebrated with her friends at our house and the park down the street. She dresses like a princess everyday now, and then we put on our normal clothes later. We don't have any big vacation plans this year, except for a baseball game here and there. We hope that you all are enjoying your summer. Send us news of your adventures. Take care.

Also, remember that July 4, Major League Baseball is remembering Lou Gehrig. It is the 70th Anniversary of his farewell speech. If you want to read it or see it, go here:

Now, being the proud parent, I leave you with cute pictures!

Dada and Benjamin on Father's Day.


Beach bum Benjamin.


The three Bens, together at last.

Those were just some snapshots of the past month. We have been busy, but it's been fun.
And I'll leave you with a Benjamin moment, to show you how much he's changed.



HAVE A FANTASTIC FOURTH OF JULY!
Love, Sarah, Ben, Sophie and Benjamin
