HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!

Ben turned 17 on Thursday. We actually celebrated his birthday on Wednesday by going out to dinne after soccer, enjoying our traditional "trifle" cake, and opening presents a little early, as Vance and I were leaving Thursday to head to Coeur d'Alene for a couple of soccer games, and conduct a little business along the way.


It sure has been a wonderful 17 years with Ben. Some of my favorite things about Ben are his easy smile, his pleasant and upbeat personality, his ability to feel the spirit, how excited he gets about the smallest things - it is contagious, and how easy he is to talk to. I can hardly believe my baby who liked to play with dinosaurs on the floor for hours or sit on my lap and read books is "all growed up."
