Truth....

...I found this the other day while cleaning.  I always find this on days that I really need it!  I don't really remember where I copied this from, but I'm so glad I wrote these down!

*My children were created for a specific reason and are a gift to me!!

*We're on a good journey, despite our ups and downs!!

*God will use these difficulties for His good and wise purposes!!

*I can be okay even while my children are not.

Happy Halloween!!

Birthday Party Fun

Today was Ben's 4th Birthday party with his friends.  He wanted to go mini-golfing...so off we went with 4 of his friends and Nate.  It was a lot of fun!

Happy 4th Birthday Benjamin!!!

I am really not quite sure how this day has come.  How are you already 4 years old?!?!?!

You are a blessing to our family Benjamin-teaching us each day to be better parents and friends!

We love you forever, you're our favorite Ben in the whole world!
