Elmo Revisited

Ben's dinner date with all the grandparents...he likes getting affirmation for each "big bite" he's about to take, which in turn guaranteed a slow death for the Elmo cupcake.

Twenty-Ten-Ben

Ringing in the New Year with the oh-so patient Uncle Rick who threw a ball at Ben more times than anyone else could muster...

Good-bye 2009!




We bid farewell to 2009 and toasted 2010 at Tower Beach for a very chilly Happy Hour...definitely our best New Year's Eve of late.
*For the group shot, we have no idea who the random standing in the back is. (:


Ben's Christmas Week in Review







The Graichen Nation had a fabulous holiday on Hilton Head...lots of toys, lots of family (the Asheville, Island Heights, and West Virginia branches were present), and way too much food. All in all, a very Merry Christmas.

Ben on the Farm




The stables are just a short walk away and Ben has already become friends with most of the ponies, the deer, Clyde the Clydesdale, and the bunnies. He hasn't quite warmed up to the pigs and goats yet, but there's always tomorrow. Hmmm...does this mean that watching Animal Rescuer Go Diego Go counts as educational?



Actor/Director

We've got a regular Ron Howard on our hands...not only can you enjoy Ben's rad dance moves, but also his direction from behind the camera. Merry Christmas from Hilton Head!
