Owen and Ben both have colds, and Richard and I are beat, so we are laying low this Memorial Day weekend.
Owen and Richard are out planting some new trees- actually Richard's planting and Owen's playing with the hose. Yesterday we watched a bit of the Indy 500, hoping to see my dad marching with the Purdue Alumni Band. They didn't show the band. Owen likes bike racing better.
Ben keeps getting bigger and stronger. He can now roll from his front to his back and from his back to his front with some effort. We have several play stations set up for him, and he goes from one to another, gnawing on his various toys. Owen loves to interact with him as much as possible- sharing toys with him and rubbing his head (likely why they both have colds now). Ben's still not sleeping much at night- 1.5-2 hour stretches- but he's gained some weight. He was 19 lbs 2 oz two weeks after his 4 month check-up, so he gained over a pound. Eating food is a battle- mostly rice cereal still with some sweet potatoes. Seems like less than 10% of the food is consumed. We make 4-5 attempts a day, so between that and nursing, Ben and I are kept busy. We have about a month and a half before I go back to work, so we need to fix this sleeping issue soon! At the moment I am not able to make complete thoughts or sentences...

I wish I knew your dad was at the Indy 500! Jeff and I were at the race, too. It would have been great fun to see him!
