4 and 4 ka-zillion!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENJABINO!

day one


4 years ago June 22, 
our Benjamin should us a bit of what was to come
4 years ago mommy was wearing 'big tummy clothes' and Benjamin was 'born out of you'.

into our lives came sleeping schedules
car seats
laundry laundry laundry
closer relationships with family
closer understanding of how our own parents loved us
365 days and loving it!
a change in holiday adventures (and truck work)
mushy food
no longer grossed out by little things
or creepy crawly things

family planning (shouldn't he have a sibling or two?)
late nights
'the way to do something'
an impressionable echo
a keen eye to detail
new songs
bright eyes and smiles
loving my baby brother at age 2!







So we celebrated the best way we know how,
with family, balloons, ice cream cake and far away well wishes.

Daddy hid Benjamin's 4 year old present in his stinky old Landcruiser, and the blue blended right in with daddy's blue, but Benjamin spotted it pretty quick...jumped on, fell, jumped on, fell, jumped on and rode it down the hill!  Mommy was so impressed!

 and thank you Auntie Manta (and family) for the phone call
and Auntie Stephanie (and family) for the card
and Nana for the facebook message

and Meamme and Boppa for the bird feeder
and Auntie Wendy & Uncle Cameron for the puzzle and bubbles!

And for everyone loving us and being a part of this 4 year olds
life!
celebrating 4 with a sister!
