Benjamins First Haircut

Today I gave Benjamin his first hair cut. What a mess. I think he will need another one really soon.

naughty bunny







Today I stayed home with Benjamin bunny who was quite naughty. He went in places he shouldnt have, nawed on things he couldnt have, and went potty outside his litter box. What a naughty bunny! I attempted to go to a workout class, which ended up being a social hour, as my instructor fancied talking rather than excercising. Anyways, the rest of the day I spent cleaning up after him. Jess came over for a cup of coffee which was nice, but Benjamin was being naughty which was quite a distraction. Later tonight, we went to Steph and Simons for a chili dinner. It was YUMMY! They invited a load of couples which was nice. Benjamin wasnt happy being put into his cage...I think he felt quite betrayed. But we were glad to have a night out with friends. It seemed that all the wives got together and chatted about recipes, Martha Stewart, candles, and babies...while the guys chatted about, well I actually know what they chatted about. All in all, we had a great time! We love Steph and Simon so much and cant wait to share many more moments with them like tonight!

Benjamin, Becci, and Banana Cake






Today Becci and Chris came over for some super yummy banana cake and to meet little Benjamin. We all had a good time watching Benjamin jump around, and entertain us. He has truly captured a piece of all of our hearts! I think he bonded with Becci the most, which is good because she will be bunny-sitting him this weekend while Chris and I go to Congleton. We are a bit anxious about leaving him for a few days, but we know he will be in good hands. It should be a nice time down south as we are going to Stephs mums house for the weekend, for another wedding reception held for some of Stephs relatives who weren’t able to make it to the wedding in Newcastle. Im glad I will be able to wear my bridesmaids dress again!

Playing wtih Benji




Today we stayed home all day. We had nothing planned for the day, which was nice. I got called away for an emergency at work, but Benjamin was in good hands with Chris. I think Benjamin is getting used to us, and adapting well to life here on Stamfordham Road. Ali, our friend from church, joined us for enchiladas and banana fostoers tonight. YUM YUM. Benjamin spent most of his time in the office, which was sad. I think he is afraid of the wood floors in the living room. Ali will have to come by again another time to get some bonding time in with little benjamin.

Dr. Party





Chris and I went to Chris Hopkinsons graduation party, which was a doctor theme. There was everything from bandaged up pizzas to a body cake, with none other than red cake filling. What a fun time!

Another Lazy Day






Today I stayed home from work to take care of little Benjamin. Chris surprised us both by coming home early. Benjamin had such a fun time while I took a nap. He ran around, jumping in his litter box, then behind the chair, and even carried one of the stones out of our fireplace display...I dont know how he managed, but he is a big boy. I went to the local pet store and got a new brush for his wild hair, a huge bag of food, and some other little things. Its been a challenge keeping up with him and keeping the house tidy. But I think as time goes on we will get into a bit of a routine. We cant wait to show Chloe her new friend on the web cam tonight!

Meet Benjamin




Meet Benjamin B. Parry, thats B for Bunny. Today Chris and I went to a bunny farm in Durham and met Benjamin for the first time. He has rather long hair, although at the moment his hair cut is a bit silly. We love him though! After saying goodbye to Jane, the farm owner, we stopped off at grandma and grandpas for a visit. They were quite excited to meet little Benjamin, and he was greeted with a carrot. We then journied on home, where he had a little wash to freshen up. Benjamin has begun to settle into 95 Stamfordham Road quite well. We are very excited of the many adventures that await us with Benjamin Bunny.
