Dinner Drama

My nephew Ben loves food more than anyone I know. He will literally SCREAM if you take away his meal of choice. I got the opportunity to document the drama as it was happening and will show this to ALL of his girlfriends when he starts dating, warning them that dinner could take some time so they might want to catch a later movie.
So thus begins, The Dinner Drama: Ben and the Corn:

Here he looks peaceful enough. He knew dinner was coming, even if it wasn't his.














Sure enough, he spots Dad's dinner and the tempting corn on the cob. With a point and a polite "Mm?" he asks dad for a bite. After getting permission, he dives in.














Between the two of them, the corn is finished pretty rapidly. This is not good news for Ben, who IMMEDIATELY bursts into tears when his precious food is taken away. Not fake tears, either. He was seriously upset!














He tries to calm the hunger by turning to his own hand to see if any remnants of corn could be found:














Tired of his merciless wailing Dad does what any dad would do and gives him what he wants. Though devoid of actual corn kernels, Ben's finally happy again and all is well.














The End...?

Elayna's Born!

My sister Beckie finally had her baby little Elayna Faith Dick. She was 10 LBS 3 OZ! I felt so bad for Beckie, but she apparently had a fairly easy delivery and only 20 min. of actual pushing, so that was good. She loved the epidural but hated the hospital stay because they kept testing her and Elayna for any types of infection since they both ran fevers during delivery. This just made Beckie nervous and upset, which made me and my mom upset, but all is well that ends well right? Elayna and mom are both at home and doing well. Thank goodness. We all love the new addition to our ever-growing family.
