Ben the Bear

Charlotte was so excited that last week Ben the Bear got to come home from preschool to spend the week with her.  Hunter brought Ben home a couple of years ago, so we had already met him;).

Charlotte brought him home with her on Tuesday, and Ben quickly got to see how busy our family is!  (In fact, it's kind of sad when you compare this visit of Ben's with our family to when Hunter brought him home.  You can definitely tell we have 3 kids now...life is crazy, and sometimes remembering Ben isn't the priority:/).  Tuesday afternoon, Ben came with Charlotte to her ballet/tap class...

And Wednesday afternoon, he came up to Dartmouth with us to pick up Hunter.  Ben and Charlotte had fun playing hopscotch while we waited for Hunter...

Then Wednesday night, Ben went to Awana Cubbies with Charlotte.  She let him wear her jacket because he was cold...

It wasn't really the best week for Ben to visit our family, because I went out of town on Thursday afternoon.  Ben drove out to the airport with us...

 

And that was the last picture we got of him, because for the rest of the weekend, James was in survival mode.  Pictures of Ben were low priority.  He got to visit with Cousin Zack and Vanesa and Aunt Katie, as well as Grandee and Poppy.

 

We had a great week with Ben!  Char was sad to bring him back to school, but knew that her other friends were ready to bring Ben home with them!
