Our sweet little Benjamin turned 5 years old yesterday! We can hardly believe it, and count our blessings every single day for this amazing boy. He is an absolute joy and we love to see his observant, kind, giving heart at work all of the time. Very few people get away with leaving our home without some "gift" from Benjamin. : ) We ended up having a party with a few families that are dear friends and had a bowling theme. I was in charge of the cake, and David worked out all of the details of the bowling party with Benjamin. They spent Saturday afternoon spray-painting 2 liter bottles and juice bottles white (we had several saved for water storage) and then used black Duck tape to make the stripes. David marked the spot for each pin on the garage floor and set up bowling lanes using string. He even borrowed heaters from a neigbor to warm the garage up. Each child was given three pennies. One was to pay for the bowling, one was to rent shoes (mostly David's big shoes) and one was to buy popcorn. It was SOOO fun and they all loved it. (We had waffles for dinner-Benjamin's request.)

What a fun party! So sad we couldn't be in Ohio to celebrate with you all.
