Spaghetti

There are a few Italian restaurants in our village (owned by actual Italians) and we checked one out in September.  Most restaurants we've gone to have had some kind of kids' menu, and this one had some awesome spaghetti.

There was sauce everywhere.  I had to take a couple minutes to wipe off the high chair before we left.

This is the main room on the first floor of our place.  It's kind of a basement: this room is built into the backyard, which slopes down to the driveway on the side of the house.  That's where this door leads.  It's a nice big room that we're not sure what to do with.  Right now it's for storage and some of Ben's toys.  Being in the basement and the tile floors makes this room pretty cold right now.  It was nice and cool a month ago and should be comfortable in the summer.

Two of his favorite "toys": Mike's laptop and the house phone.

Mike gets some great shots of Ben smiling.
