Ethan The Entrepreneur

Ethan is always looking for ways to make money.
He loves numbers, and he loves money even more, and he doesn't mind working hard for it either.
John and I always encourage the boys to work hard but Ethan always takes it to another level.
I remember once he said he wanted to be the boss, I told him then get a job and make money, he said okay, I will!
And hasn't stop since!
He started a lemonade stand and I decided that once it was nice and warm I'd add the "Mummy touch" to it and help bring in some more business.
He is really making money off his lemonade!
Kaiden saw the profit and decided he wanted to get in on the business and came up with a marketing plan to help sales and started doing some consulting for Ethan.
He thought it would be a good idea to make sign and put them up all over the neighborhood to advertise the Lemonade stand, and Ethan and him arranged an  amount of payment for Kaiden for his work.
And just like that Ethan was a boss.  =)

Ummm, hello!! Can we say 2 little John's?
Smart, business minded, hard working little entrepreneurs!
Great job boys, you make us proud!!

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

No Rest For The Weary

Yesterday was sweet and sad, and maybe a bit boring. Amalia woke up with a fever and insisted on sleeping right on top of me on and off all day. Even though she was sick, and I did feel a bit cruel and selfish, I pulled out my camera and got to clicking. I simply won't give her a break! But it was worth it.   Look how sweet and peaceful she looked only an hour before she threw up on me. She is the prettiest little girl and oh so sweet.   I love photographing her. She still has a bit of a temperature today so it seems I am back on "pamper the baby even more than normal" duty. My job is to lay on the couch and be her bed, her comfort, and anything else she may need. And today I will give her a break from her modeling duties. I have the best job in the world. I love my kids.

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.
