Happy 5th Birthday Ben!

Today Ben turns FIVE!  I sometimes look at him dressed in his PJs, walking down the stairs in the morning all by himself and think - THIS IS MY BABY!?

I reflect back on the days when he was just a few months old and playing with his buddy Owen (who he is now in preschool class with).

I can easily say that Ben has made 'lifelong' friends.  (Yes, some things will never change)

Ben sitting with his friends in preschool earlier this week after they sung happy birthday...

Ben, we are so proud of you and all you have accomplished in your short little life.  We love your unique talents and traits and know that you will be someone BIG when you grow up.  Happy birthday buddy!!

Tonight Seth and I look forward to a special two-on-one date with Ben.  I can't recall the last time Ben got to spend time alone with just his Mom and Dad.  It's something we hope to offer all of our boys on their birthdays for years to come.
