Happy 5th Birthday Ben

Ben turned 5-years-old today.  Happy Birthday to my little buddy...my best little guy around...I love you to pieces!

I posted his birth story on his third birthday.  Here it is.  For those pilot oriented people that read this blog, you may find his birth story interesting...Steve was actually on day 3 of a 4-day when I went into labor.  I know a lot of pilot wives, and I am sure pilots themselves, worry about missing the birth of their kids.  I can't say Steve was close to missing it, but there was definite drama in the mix.

Happy Birthday Ben!
Sto lat!

And some of my favorite pictures from the last year:

the light one evening was just gorgeous

After Ben's preschool graduation we went to a Hibachi grill.  I snapped this picture when the made the onion volcano...Ben ducked for cover, CC just didn't know what to do, and Steve was playing along with the drama.
