A year in the life of Ben

4 years ago, this little guy came into our lives.
He weighed 8 pounds and 5 ounces and had a full head of golden streaked hair.

He is full of personality

and quite the handsome guy!

He started Preschool last fall and had a bit of a love - hate relationship with it, but in the end he learned a lot and made great friends.

He loves to be outside

and playing with his trains.

He loves watching and acting out movies. Especially ones with a good "Bad" guy.

He has a great sqinty eyed " Pirate" smile

He picked out a "Skeleton" costume for Halloween and then refused to wear it that night.

He also got his first pair of glasses this year

and a haircut

He's a little monster

who loves water, fish, and especially sharks.

And we love him!! Happy 4th Birthday Ben!

Future Jewelry Artist

While looking for some old photos on my computer tonight I came across these little gems that I had forgotten about. They were taken almost a year ago (minus 1 week). The colors terrible but it makes me smile and since I never got them posted last year, Im doing it now.
Hannah is such a little artist. She has to color or paint or draw something everyday! I love that about her and hope that it never changes. She loves to watch me make jewelry and often tells me how beautiful or stylish something is when it's completed. This day we got some gems out for her to bead. I love how she arranged everything on the numbers on the board and how focused she was.

I cant wait to see what she creates with her life. I know it will be as amazing as she is!!
