Birthday's


So as luck would have it our family has not only grown, but we have increased the amount of birthdays that are held in a 2 month period. This month we are celebrating Emma and Ben's birthdays. Emma turned 11 on the 9th and Ben will be 9 on the 22nd. I have not known Emma as long, but with Ben it is crazy to see how much he has grown and how fast time really does fly. I didn't really beleive adults when they said that and I was young, it seemed like it took forever for anything to happen. Now it seems things change and kids grow at the speed of light! Ben has grown into such a nice young gentlemen, he opens the door for me when I get into the car, he helps his sister when she falls down, and he is becoming more and more aware of the needs of those around him. Wow! I am in love with being a parent and being blessed to see this happen in my child. I do have to give a lot of credit to my new hubby though! I have seen Ben grow so much in the past year since Chris has been in our lives. Ben will be a great man one day and Chris is doing a great job of helping him become that! I am truly blessed! So I guess here's to another year of change, growth, and happiness! Charish your little ones! God Bless!
