Ben Affleck

Jennifer Garner recently opened up on how she makes time for the important things in life.

As the wife of Ben Affleck and a mother of two beautiful girls- not to mention a booming film career – Ms Garner admits to Parade magazine that she still manages to keep the sparks alive with Affleck.

Back together as a happy family, Ben Affleck returned to Los Angeles on Saturday and made his first stop that of hooking up with his two lovely young ladies.

The “Good Will Hunting” hunk was dropped off at an art class at “Step By Step” in Santa Monica, where his daughter Violet Affleck and very pregnant wife Jennifer Garner were busy working on arts & crafts.

The “Catch and Release” actress and her “Good Will Hunting” husband began the day as a family, dropping their daughter Violet off at preschool.

Ben Affleck give his best poker face at the Ante Up For Africa event hosted by Don Cheadle Wednesday at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The actor competed with B.F.F. Matt Damon, Adam Sandler and a slew of other stars at the poker tournament to raise money and awareness about the genocide in Darfur.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck met up with Matt Damon and his heavily pregnant wife, Luciana Barroso, at Nobu Malibu on Saturday night for a two-hour dinner on the patio that included cooked fish and sushi rolls.

“Ben and Matt were entertaining the girls with stories, and they were all laughing a lot,” says an observer of the couples.

When dessert came, the celebratory group toasted – after all, Garner and Affleck’s third wedding anniversary was the following day.

“Jen and Ben were in a great mood, and they left Nobu hand in hand,” says the observer. Also spotted at Nobu Saturday night: Kate Hudson, back in L.A. following last week’s Santa Barbara getaway with Lance Armstrong.
