Very Valentine

I always feel bad for John this time of year.
My birthday then Valentines Day 3 days later.
Somehow every year he makes them both special, I think this year was the best though.  (Except that one time when we went to Jamaica on Valentines Day)

The moment I woke up he says, "Happy Velentines Day, will you be mine?"
I had the biggest smile on my face.  He is always so romantic. 
I walk out into the living room and there are roses, heart biscuits, a gift and heart shaped candles... lit... at 8 in the morning.
How does he do this without me knowing?

The day only got better and better.  

Since I cook every night it was time for a break.
Dubai has the worst beef EVER so I haven't had a good steak in a while and he knew I have been craving it so he took me to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. 
I haven't been there in so long, it felt like we were back in the US again.

I also did my part by getting him and the kids some valentine gifts and decorated the house to set the stage for whatever romantic things he  had planned.  I hate that I have to take it down, so pretty!

Thank you to my romantic hubby for another perfect day.
 Thank you for showing me how much you love me not just on Valentines Day, but every day.

Star Wars Birthday Party

By
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

By
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...
