Bringing In 2017!

By
2016 was a GREAT year for our family.

We made a (much smaller than normal for us) move back to the town we originally wanted to come back to after our move from Dubai and it has really been wonderful for us.  It is nice to have a beautiful and private yard and a pool in the neighborhood, definitely a plus for summer.

If you know me any at all, you know I always have a plan, the kind of plans that make people think I am crazy.

I'm not crazy, I just dream big, I love adventure, and I enjoy having big things to work towards.  Of course 2017 will be no different, bigger, crazier dreams than any year so far.  Luckily for me John doesn't find any of mine (our) dreams and goals weird, crazy or out of our reach, he is always quick to jump on board without me even having to convince him.  We are such a good team.

Anyway, here are a few photos from New Years Eve.

We played family games and set up a photo booth and my friend Angela stopped by for a bit.  Honestly, I barely made it till mid night even after having a nap earlier that afternoon.

Wishing you all the best for 2017 and always.

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...

Beautiful Baby Shower

By
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 ...
