I'm so confused, but on a side note, you kind of look like Matthew Perry in this pic. Are you leading us up to the reason why you got pregnant (to make this world a better place, etc.) or what your lives were like when you were trying to get pregnant with Trixie? Nevertheless, this is a great pic.

I'm thinking tomorrow's caption fits today's picture.

This really is all incredibly strange....
-everything goes silent for a few days
THEN
-missing trixie
-mismatching captions
-pics from T minus so many months

curiouser and curiouser said Alice.

But you miss the biggest atrocity of all - B&W on a Monday! Have you gone mad?

Sheesh - give a teacher a day off and she loses all sense of time. B&W on a TUESDAY! Even crazier.

Wow, the range of 'color' in this picture is amazing -- there are so many distinct tones of grey visible, so sharp and silvery. It's like some dystopian Ansel Adams.

I'm no expert, but I don't think that's a "Princess Dress." It's more of a "Car."

This picture looks decididly more like a burned out car in the Bronx than a princess dress. ;o)

I agree, Ben looks very much like Matt Perry in this picture!

You know, Colum went through a boxy, rusted-out, missing-wheels phase a while back. He just sat in a junkyard, rusting, the torn vinyl from his front seat flapping in the wind. I'm glad Ben posted this, because it lets me know I'm not alone, that other parents have to watch thier kids go through this awkward stage as well.

Maybe they are trying to tell us something???? Is there another baby on the way????

Darla, why in the world would you think that by the way things have been going lately??? Maybe you are right, but if I another miracle on the way, I wouldn't lead up to it like this. But.....maybe you something we don't know.....???

And, in the crazy world we live in, nothing would really surprise me.................... and I mean NOTHING!!

Hey all, just relax! Benmac has his reasoning for doing his blog his way.

See, I'm not the only one who thinks they are pregnant! I said that a couple days ago...hahaha

Thanks for laugh, John :D

I think that Ben's mixing things up has been really interesting. I was living up in Stamford and spending a lot of time in the city during the same time period so I'm having fun reminiscing.

OK, my two cents: Trixie is staying with Grandmother while Ben and Jenn are vacationing in NYC, revisiting old "stomping grounds" and none of us are missing little Trixie more than they. ???? I do hope wherever they all are, they are having a most wonderful time and may or may not share it with all us crazies....well, not all of us, but, well, some of you are getting alittle bit scary. Hope all is well. I think you are pretty brave to share your daughter's life with us....and, in that regard, do you really think he would tell everyone WHERE they are and WHERE Trixie is???? Get real. Be grateful for the glimpse. OK, that was more like three cents.

What have you done with Trixie? I miss her! And B&W on a Tuesday? Hmm. Curious

Ok, here's my three cents worth....
someone has been hitting the lager too much...see
(Oct. 31, 2003 pic)..... Being a SAHD has driven him to the bottle. Just one more thing that is missing is the 'UNFORGETTABLE" red shirt.....

I think Benmac got a real job!!!!

Hey, all of you.... get a life and leave Ben alone!!! Staying at home with your child is commendable and it has been the most challenging and admirable thing Ben will ever have done. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it....

Maybe Trixie is choosing the photos, and she likes seeing her parents' pre-Trixie experiences.

I've noticed the pictures posting an hour later than they used to. He used to put them up at 11 PM Central, and now they're going up at 12 AM Central. So, maybe they are in my time zone! LOL

Looks like the car and the guy from the Movie "Christine". Kinda 1950'ish.

I don't blame Ben for posting other pictures. Like all good T.V. shows that we have been following fanatically for years, this too must come to an end. I thank the MacNeal family for giving us a peak into your lives. You are a very beautiful Family and your Love for Trixie is clearly obvious.

The last few days all screwy and the comments that follow.

It's cracking me up...I love it!

Ben/Jenn have to be laughing their "A"'s off with all this.

Can't wait til tomarrow.

or ben/jenn are thinking omg!
people miss trixie.
this is why i don't have a public blog for my family...
yeah shes a cute kid and all, but how do you miss someone you don't even know?
i guess they check it out frequently, or are family.
yep i guess so.

Ditto to above !!! How can you get so attached to a picture of a kid that you don't even know? It's all so crazy!!! How did I even get here????

And, now, the telemetry is offline.

Maybe something bad happened and there is no more Trixie.

I haven't been able to sleep in days because I've been wondering what this picture is all about. I have showed it to at least a dozen different people and they are as clueless as I. A group of us are thinking about hiring a private investigator to find this car. If anyone wants to go in on the cost of the investigative services, leave a message here and we'll get the ball rolling! And one major point I would like to express is that if you question my enthusiasm over this topic, then that's your problem! I have an two Associates Degrees from Durham Tech and therefore no one is in a position to question me.

Wow! This picture is good but if Trixie took it, it's a masterpiece!!!

To the poster two posts above me- I hope you're just kidding.

Anyway, I like the shadows in this photo, but the burned out car & the barbed wire creeps me out.

Also, you totally do look like Matthew Perry.
Hope all is well.

if something was wrong with trixie would there be new pix? nah of course not. the telementary would be running with no-one coming online to stop it etc.
i think benmac is just changing the pace a lil bit.
take it for what it is.
just a pic.
just a blog.
outta how many million of blogs..........

I just think they went on vacation!! For those of you who are using Trixie Tracker to track your own child/ren Ben has checked in to post on the support forums there... So at least we know Ben is alive and well!! I think he's just messing with everyone to see how hysterical everyone gets!!

Zensile, if Trixie took this pic three months before she was born, it would be more than a masterpiece. Trust me!

Did Trixie take this picture of you, Ben?
