HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!

Ben got to celebrate his birthday this morning with an unexpected visitor... I won't say who, yet, but some readers may recognize her from this picture...


And a picture of our house in Michigan from the day before Ben was born...


And Ben the day he came home:


And, last, but not least...

I can't believe how young I looked 8 years ago...

Tami's MIL just emailed and they arrived. The girls are playing with their cousins and Carole is going to suggest Tami take a nap.

Happy Birthday again, Ben! We hope your party was fantastic! I wrote up the our visit and asked a friend n Moscow to forward on the link to the blog to Masha (it's the friend who added them to the Thanksgiving guest list, the dad of Katya's friend who wrote her that sweet email the other day).

It was SO great to see you guys! Thank the boys for being so gracious in sharing their toys, books, room...

And you and Ian were so thoughtful... You were exactly what my soul needed after such a hard day!

I loved see you all and seeing your home and neighborhood; it's so hard to imagine your life just through the snippets on the blog :-)
