Happy 28th Birthday Ben!

So I realized that it has been a whole month since I last posted on our blog. I have been a slacker, but I have also been VERY busy with huge projects around the house, sick kids and husband, my sister and her husband and dog living with us, trips to Portland and Spokane, church calling, etc., etc., and more etc.'s that I have not had the time or the desire to do it. I am not justifying it or looking for sympathy. I am just confessing that I procrastinate when it comes to blogging.

Anyway, I did make the time to celebrate Ben's birthday. Actually, we celebrated it when we went to Portland the weekend of the 11th for John and Melissa's annual Halloween party (which was so much fun), and last week when we had a few of his co-workers and friends over for dinner and games. It was probably a good thing that we celebrated his birthday earlier because the poor guy has been at home sick for this entire week. On his actual birthday, of course, he had breakfast in bed, went to work and came back three hours later because he was feeling really crummy. The only fun thing we could do for him, besides opening gifts, was going to the movies that night. We watched "Eagle Eye" which we thought was pretty good. Even though he was sick, I think he enjoyed his birthday. We are just waiting for him to get better so things can get kind of back to normal. So, Happy Birthday Ben! We LOVE you!
