"My Own"

Samantha has taken on a very cute verbal habit of referring to things a "my own..." or "your own...", like "where is my own kitty" or "are you going in your own car". Even though (almost) everything she does is cute times 10, this is one of those things we hope would never go away. This morning, while in the shower, the door opened. Samantha poked her head in and asked for a Kleenex so that she could "get out my own favorite boogie".

Benjamin's 9th Birthday

Sunrise, Sunset...Quickly fly the years. When did he grow to be so tall?! I don't remember growing older; when did he?! La la la... Our eldest son turned 9 on March 27, 2009. He has grown to be such a responsible, caring, athletic, smart, wonderful mensch. It is exciting to watch his development over the years. Who knows what the future will bring for him, but one thing we do know is that it will be BRIGHT. Will he be a Video Game Designer and make tons of money (as he said recently) or will he be an Engineer/Businessman like his Daddy? In any case, here are some photos of his Star Wars Sleepover party. May the force be with you, Benjamin! Love, Mommy and Daddy and family
