Some of the grandparents requested videos of Whitney. I posted three below. They capture simple things Whitney does during the day. A lot of this stuff gives me mommy-pride, but I realize it is stuff every infant does, so sorry if you're bored to tears, but I love it!
Ben is passing all his classes so far. The school makes this first semester pass/fail so that the students can get used to the rigorous study schedule without putting a dent into their GPAs. (I REALLY wish they would have done that for law school.)
In the last few weeks we have been to two local events: Oktoberfest in Addison and the Texas State Fair in downtown Dallas. Oktoberfest was more family-oriented than you might expect, though there was plenty of beer to be had. We watched some German folk dancers, checked out a bunch of vendors, and entered to win a Mercedes Benz (The call is coming any day now. I know it!). The Texas State Fair was fun, though to have A LOT of fun there you have to have a lot of money. Nevertheless, we saw an auto show; had some Southern carnival food (a little more carnival than Southern, unfortunately--though they did have fried beer which would have tasted very Southern); watched an electric parade (akin to the Disney electric parade but not nearly as cool); and saw a light show with fireworks, flames, and an illuminated stage. We didn't go on any of the carnival rides since most of them cost $5 per person--ouch.
Not much else is new. We'd love to hear what is going on with all of you!

Wow! Clapping and playing at the water park! Dad and I were so delighted to see what Whitney can do! And, it was fun to see Ben, too and hear your voice. It was so fun to see Whitney and Ben on the video that I am STILL smiling. How we all love you! All I can say is MORE MORE! Post videos any time. I'm beginning to think that I might create a blog just so that we can show you the latest.
P.S. Ben's clapping skills were awesome, too! :)
