The Ben Schafer Family - January/February 2008

James in his "hanging out being cute" stage
James sad about the Steelers being eliminated from the playoffs.
"Some day I will have dad pulling his own hair out, but for now...."
Margaret gets working on "1st grade face"
James evidentely inherited the male Schafer habit of sleeping with an arm up in the air (both daddy Ben and uncle Joe have reportedly done that at times)
Caroline enjoys one of the many, MANY snows and it's related "snow day"
Margaret does too!
"You can take my picture but you can't make me smile!"
"What's this bib for?  What are we going to do?"
"Wet.  Rice-y.  Not bad.  Why don't you try that Alton Brown recipe for it however."
Hanging out in "Bumbo"
Some tummy time with dad
But tummy time ALWAYS brings out the drool bombs
Caroline at her "three-way" birthday party.
Cece(1), Grandma Siems(83), and Caroline(4) all blow out their candles.
"What does a girl need to do to get a piece of eclair cake?"
Margaret reads to James
They DO like to hang out together!
Caroline showing off some of her presents on her actual birthday.
"Another set of dress up dolls.  AWESOME!"
