Soul stretching wonderful: Ben joins me in 30-hood.

Raising my kids, moment by moment, is the hardest thing I have ever done. because I know it matters. because I want to do it right. because I know I won't. because I still must try. And mostly because there is no way I can do it alone. I made this blog as a place to gather the inspiration as well as somewhere to put the ridiculous amount of photos I take, trying desperately to see this crazy time in our lives for what it really is--soul stretching wonderfulness, I won't want to forget.

Ben joins me in 30-hood.

30 years ago a little boy named Benny was born.

And man I love him.

Happy Birthday Benny!

Ben's idea of a party.

And because Ben trusts Tanner's commitment to meat-making above my own
(& rightfully so), the Leavitt's joined us for a late supper, whilst the kids enjoyed staying up past their bedtimes.

Finley's "baby": hafta improvise a little in a house full of boys.

Little buddies, getting soooo big.

Kids are getting a little better at not needing constant refereeing and tear wiping, they actually played a little, what a concept!

I got cheesecake. So I was happy.
I think benny had a good one too (he's out for a post-birthday boy movie tonight too.
So far 30 is treating him just fine.
