Our Boy is NINE!

Lee wrote the sweetest thing on Ben's card while I was making this little scrapbook page.  He said I could use it.  It says it all.

Dear Ben,

We are proud of you for who you are.  You are 

honest, 
funny, 
happy, 
loving, 
thoughtful, 
and cheerful.

Looking to the future, we can only imagine the ways in which God will further mold and shape your character, but we do know that we don't want to miss any of it.

Love,
Dad and Mom

  2. What a great card to give your son! That is something he can keep and pull out when he's older and realize what made him who he is! Happy birthday to Ben!
