Family Matters

Having the whole family here has been so fun and familiar... and exhausting.
I am not used to staying up that late chatting and laughing till I cry, literally rolling on the ground laughing/crying.

It is so funny that people find it so strange that my parents are divorced and get along so well.
For us that is "normal".
I have seen loads of dysfunctional family behavior and people see our family and think we are the ones that are not normal for always getting along.
We really actually always get along.  Every one of us, all the time.  
Even Daddys sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews get on with Mummy and her family and vice versa.

I think its's cool.  I love it actually.

My family knows me as the "bossy" one.  So they should have known I had some plan in mind for them.
Something that they were going to be really sweet and go along with whatever I want nodding and smiling through it all.  They are happy they did!

We had so much fun doing this together.

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.
