Ben's day

Our darling Ben turned three years old today. And so, in honor of this boy that
melts my heart, I give you ten wonderful things about our Benjamin Allen.

When he was born, his sweetness overwhelmed us. He was so peaceful

and calm and we felt so grateful he had joined our family.

And yet, he's never been afraid to show how he feels.
Ben has always been one that wears his feelings on his face.

Mostly that feeling is happiness.
It just shoots out of this boy, to everyone around him.

Ben loves balls. He has spent a majority of his life with a ball in his hand.
And at a very young age could throw and kick those round things like a pro.

Ben loves music. Always has. And he has dance moves the likes of which
have seldom be seen. He dances all of the time. It is like he can't help it.

He wears a faux hawk like no other. Enough said.

Breaking his leg was not our list of favorite things to happen, but after the first
day, Ben just moved on with his life, never letting that silly cast hold him back.

I have a feeling that is how our boy will handle life.

Ben pulls the best faces ever. If you have ever seen his rock star face,
you won't soon forget it. Ask to see the video sometime, if you'd like.

If a family could have a class clown, Ben would be ours. He lives to
make people laugh, and lucky for us, he is constantly succeeding.

Three years ago today, this handsome guy joined our family.
And our gratitude is almost more than we can stand.

Happy Birthday sweet boy! You are loved.
