Mother's Day Weekend

It's so funny how Mother's Day makes me think about my kids and our family more than I already do.

What perfect gentlemen our boys are. How smart and spunky our daughter is. How lucky I am to be a mother, and how perfect John and I are together in raising this special bunch of kids.

It's so nice to see so much love and hard work manifested in our life daily, layers unfolding as we watch them grow into everything we dream for them to be.

Anyway, we went to Sea Island and had a friend of the boys and his Mom come with us. I don't have that many pics because I was mostly enjoying our time there and forgetting about the camera.

Thank John for an amazing weekend at one of my favorite places, it's beginning to feel like a second home to me there. I am pretty sure I had a "shift" in my being bonding with nature, the sea and the earth, and all of you while we were there.

And my boys made me the most precious gifts/books/cards and they most special hugs and lots of love.

I love my family!

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

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...

Beautiful Baby Shower

This past weekend was our baby shower!! We decided to do it a bit early because I am one of those over-organized, over-prepared types. It was hosted by my best friend Kindle and my sister Bianca. I told Kindle I wanted a slight winter wonderland pink theme since it is so close to Christmas and this is what I walked in to! It was absolutely beautiful, and we were joined by all our best family and friends, we appreciate everyone that made this such a special day for us. This game was to guess how big I was and believe it or not the winner was Ethan!! He definitely knows his Mummy! The chocolate diaper game. (It was Johns first shower, he must've thought we were all crazy). Getting ready for presents!! (The boys got to open them all). Kindle surprised the boys with a gift each. It was a shirt with their picture saying "I'm the biggest Brother" and "I'm the big Brother" for the hospital. Most thoughtful thing ever!!! I wish I could relive ...
