"ben's baptise"

all last week jenna kept asking, 'are we going to ben's baptise yet?' as we would load in the car. she was very anxious to see this:

as were all of us! ben is the oldest grandkid on my side of the family, so it was very exciting.

if you would allow me to reminisce for just a moment...
i was living in tucson when ben was born in houston. i was sick that first weekend, so i had to wait nearly 10 days to meet him- which was a big deal for me! this is a picture of us on his blessing day.


Ben giving me kisses on my wedding day (8/5/2006).
here we are in a fussy camera phone picture of us at the Renaissance festival riding a camel (early 2007).
we are very pleased with ben for setting a great example for
his sister and his cousins. yeah ben!




we had a fun quick visit in el paso- and the kids did well in the car. the hotel we stayed at had a heated pool, so we just had to go swimming! adam was in HEAVEN in the water and had a blast- as did the rest of our family.

Could that little boy be cuter?! And what sweet thoughts of your nephew. Awwwwww.

P.S. I have a ton of new board games. I can't wait for you to come up and try them out!

I don't remember why I was at your parent's house (I think it we were *trying* to console you about your foot?), but that doesn't seem all THAT long ago, and Ben was totally a toddler, stuffing soggy (read "PRE-CHEWED") Cheerios into your mouth. Where does the time go?!

PS -- Adam is supremely cute.

Uh, you can remove the superfluous "it."

So sweet. It's amazing how fast time truly does fly, isn't it? Pretty crazy!
