Happy Valentine's Day!

Ben's 6th Birthday

Happy birthday Ben! 

Your birthday was on February 1st and I am just getting around to writing about it. You had a great birthday. You received gifts that you loved: books and a Wii system (used, old generation...but at this point you don't notice the difference!) and a few Wii games. You spent time with friends doing the things you love: swimming at the pool and then going to their house to watch movies. 

You are a joy to have as a son. You are mellow, happy, hard-working. You are honest. You are a good friend to your brother. And you are a good big brother to your little sister, instinctively looking out for her and knowing just how to play with her to make her laugh. 

Some excerpts from Ben's birthday interview:
