A Gift to the World

The boys have been excellent secret keepers (I have trained them well). They have known about his gifts for about 3 weeks now and Ethan helped me get them all wrapped up and beautiful. They get so excited when we do something special for John, they love and appreciate him so much, as do I. I wish I could do way way more for him, he has been so understanding while I have been slacking the past few months.

John is the most deserving person of all things GREAT, WONDERFUL, FABULOUS, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, and instead he's stuck with me!! lol!! Just kidding. I think he would argue that I am all the above (I try to be...since that's what he deserves). He is kind, sweet, caring and what I love most about him is that he is always looking to grow as a person. Hopefully we will continue to grow together and that I will spend everyone of his birthdays with him till his very last.

Birthday morning opening presents.

That evening we had a few friends and family over for appetizers and cake.

Mummy got John such a sweet gift, it very appropriately signifies a new chapter.
Before After

In one of my favorite love songs of all time the lyrics are, "And I find myself thanking your mother, for giving birth to a saint, my spirit flies when I say your name. If there's one thing that's true, it's that I was born to love you.". Your birthday has been a gift to the world. I love you.

Star Wars Birthday Party

It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?" They both shrugged. I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

And the Fun Begins

On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member. Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning. I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait. And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over. We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together. We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again. Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well. All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth My contractions never got intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness. Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...

Can't wait to see the professional ones! Waiting for the go ahead It's time!! Everyone ready t...
