Happy Birthday Ben

Ben had his birthday this week.  Those of you who watch "The Office", will appreciate the fanfare I created surrounding the day.



Let's see - what is Ben up to these days...:)

-He's enjoying his job, but loves when he can leave early to play frisbee golf. 
-He continues to be the "handy man" around here, no project is too daunting for this man. Elena believes that her daddy can fix anything
-He sings "Love Song for a Savior" for Elena when she goes to bed; a song, "that only Daddy can sing."
-He never fails to make me laugh; laugh at him, laugh at me, laugh about life in general. I would take things far too seriously if he wasn't around.  
-He loves San Antonio Winters and will not be caught driving his Miata with the top up. 
-He is so energized after being with his Jr. High guys from church, and they think he's pretty cool too.
-He savors the few seconds before he walks in the door, when he can hear Evan chanting, "DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!"
and lastly...
-He's really seeking to know how and where God wants to use him.

I'm just glad that wherever God takes him, I get to go too!
