1st Date Night in Dubai

Okay, I am IN LOVE with Dubai!
I though it was pretty good, but last night, I am still gushing over.

Beautiful!
Amazing!
Breathtaking!
Extravagant!
Luxurious!
Pampered!
Exquisite!
Simply, perfection.

Okay, now let me stop talking about John and get to telling you what you really want to hear about, Dubai. Lol.

I think it was by the marina where we went. We had a friend of ours maids come watch the kids (can't wait to get our own!). Amalia of course came with us (I am still breastfeeding, and this baby refuses to eat food).
So off we go. This place was in a hotel, a very large, lavish hotel. There is a shopping area, I don't dare call it a mall. Its indoors but they make it appear as though it is outdoors and it is beautiful. Shame on me for not taking photos. I have been so lost in this new experience that I don't always pull out the camera to capture every amazing thing.

I did get a few though.

We ate at a really nice Indian restaurant. Okay, so I think this is the coolest thing. Yes it was decorated impeccably, but when we sat on a couch looking thing we realized it was suspended from the air! Amazing. Then, yes, there's more, when the food came out they came and got Amalia and disappeared with her so we could enjoy a romantic dinner together! I could get used to this!

This last picture was so sweet to me. We went somewhere else for desert and Amalia was sleeping and we looked over and saw this teeny hand. I love this girl.

Amazing night. I am loving this so far. As I'm typing this I'm skyping with Mummy Bowen. Best of all worlds.

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...

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical.

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