A Day For Me!

I had such a great Mothers Day.
I wasn't allowed to get out of bed while the boys cooked me pancakes.
They had the cutest cards and Mothers Day coupons (which I'm saving for when school is out) and a great gift.
John is so good at teaching them to appreciate me and take care of me.

I'm not sure Amalia got the memo though!
She is teething and has been in a lot of pain recently, but lucky for me she saved her perfect behaviour for dinner.
I love Brazillian churascarias so thats of course where John made reservations.
The best part was having a private room so Amalia could run around when she got tired of sitting.

Honestly, I am so grateful to have such amazing children.  They really are some of the sweetest, brightest most  loving children that we have ever met.

Thank you John for helping me mold them into such lovely human beings!
And thank you for making my day so special. Love you all.

P.S. Please take a moment to notice that mini-me and I have matching necklaces with our names on it that I am so giddy about.  Our first of many "matching" accessories.

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...
