We took Ben for his first dinner out on Saturday night--the whole family went to Al's Pizza. He's bright-eyed here, but fell asleep a few minutes later and slept through the whole meal. I guess we should enjoy that while it lasts. 

Our first famiy photo: Katie (19 mos), Chris, Ben (11 days), Krista and Tyler (a month shy of 14).

Katie saying "HI!" to brother Ben.  

Looks kind of like she's going to get attacked by the alligators, but she's actually standing in front of a window. 

Cheese! 

Checking out the alligators through several inches of plexiglass. 

"Ooooh...look!" 

On Friday, Katie got to go to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. Here are Katie and Grama looking at a tropical bird. Notice Katie's stuffed turtle, who has been her constant companion. 

Grama and Grampa took Katie to the splash park at Metro Park this week as well. Here, she makes friends with a frog. 

Katie takes a dunk in the backyard and spends the whole time drinking the water out of her Dora the Explorer sprinkler. I promise, she's not as dehydrated as she appears to be. 

In a rare moment, Baby Ben actually has his eyes OPEN! 

Hanging out with Grampa Beutel. 

Making friends with a lizard. 

Katie and Grama spot a turtle--Katie's new favorite animal.  

While Grama and Grampa Beutel were here, Katie got to go on all kinds of fun excursions. Here's a photo of her at the Museum of Science and History. 

Grama Beutel admires her newest grandchild. 

Ben's finally out of his pumpkin seat, but still sleeping soundly in Grama's arms. 

Hamming it up in Dad's glasses. 

Superstar! 

Tired of watching from the cheap seats, Katie decides it's time to show off her soccer skills.  

Chris, Katie, and Grama and Grampa Beutel. 

Katie takes in the action from the sidelines. 

Another shot of our soccer star. 

Tyler's team won the game 4-3, and he played a role in three of his team's goals through some fancy footwork. Look at how tall he's getting! 

Ben's first outing! We took the whole family to the soccer park for Tyler's first game of the season. Ben slept through the whole thing.
