Big Boy Ben's 1st Birthday

We can hardly believe our little man is 1 year old! This year went by so quickly. We cannot fully explain how much richer Benjamin makes our life. Our home is happier...livelier, and full of even more love...if that is possible. He is our quiet little soul, who literally makes our hearts smile. Avery tells us all of the time how much she loves Benjamin and that she wants another baby. I don't think she really knows what she is asking for. She too loves his presence in our home. We had a fun party for Ben and were so happy to celebrate with some of our family and friends. His party theme was all about bouncy balls! And boy did the kids have a ball! We ate pizza and a cake that was also shaped like a round ball! Ben ate his little cake and enjoyed it. He was rather reserved in his messiness. Only a little to clean off his face...unlike his adventurous, spirited sister who literally had it in every nook and cranny on her head and had to go straight to the tub! We are so grateful to God for the gift He gave us in Ben...and we are so excited to raise him and see what God does in his life as he grows into a young man.
