Happy Birthday Ben!

Ben's 4th birthday was on Sunday. He was in CA with Sean, so we didn't do the whole "celebration" thing (that will happen this week), but we did sing to him over the phone. Ben is our man of many questions these days. He always wants to know what is going on, and what will be happening next, and why people are doing this or that. It's especially fun for Sean when they are driving back and forth to CA (they get a lot of good father-son bonding). Currently Ben loves:
*his flip flops (seriously, he'll sleep in them)
*shorts (it's almost impossible to get this boy into pants)
*strawberries and olives and cereal
*the beach (he went a couple weeks ago and can't stop talking about it)
*little hand toys (any animal or figurine he can hold in his hand)
*running
*going anywhere anyone else goes (he doesn't really care where - he just wants to go)

We love Ben. He is such a special and fun part of our family. Happy Birthday Dude!
And, in honor of his birthday here are some pictures from the past:
