Ashlyn's 1st Birthday Party

Ben and the Birthday Girl - What you got there?

Here - let me give you a drink!

One of Ashlyn's presents - Ben thought he'd take it for a spin.
He loves to swing!

Ben went to his "girlfriend" Ashlyn's 1st Birthday Party last weekend. Dad had to work from home this weekend so we were unable to go up to Grand Rapids like we had planned. It's hard to believe that we will be celebrating Ben's 1st Birthday in a few short months!

I wanted to send a message to my parents who are currently enjoying themselves on a two week Alaskan vacation. We miss talking to you everyday and hope you are having a great time. Benjamin can't wait to see both of you at the end of August - he has so many new things to show you!! We love you!
