Another birthday has come and gone and I’ve added another candle to my cake. I had as much fun as one can when your birthday falls on a Monday. I mean, this shouldn’t even be possible. Ben had a Dr.’s apt that morning so I took him to the Dr. and then he took me out for a birthday lunch. Both my family and J’s family took me out to eat the weekend before and after my actual birthday and gifted me with fabulous presents including some new perfume, a scarf and bracelet, a candle, and some cash to do with as I please:) Best lunch date ever.

Birthday Celebrations

Somewhat. This will probably be the last year we do a family only party since Ben is getting older and making more friends at school. I’m thinking we’ll do something like the Little Gym next year and a bonus-no clean up at our home. I had done a chili…

Happy 3rd Birthday, Ben!
Today my baby is 3. I am tearing up just writing that. Time goes by so so fast. Everybody says it, but it’s so true. Each year that passes my baby is able to do more and more. He is becoming fiercely independent. He says mom and dad instead of mommy and daddy. I’m happy and sad all at the same time. Sad that my baby is growing up, but happy at the boy he is becoming. He has such a wild spirit, but also a kind heart. I’m honestly afraid I wouldn’t be able to love another baby as much as I love him. He has forever changed my…
