Ben turned 32 on October 7. On Thursday, the morning of his birthday, he opened seven presents, two of which were legitimate (the rest were toys Eddie had had me wrap). On Friday night Ben and I went out on a birthday date. This was the first time we've gone on a date for one of our birthdays. This was also the first time since having children that we went to both dinner and a movie on a date (although we didn't take the time to go to a real restaurant; we got chinese to go). On Sunday we made a special birthday dinner and cake. Ben once again selected an applesauce cake recipe he found online; he always wants applesauce cake like his grandma used to make. The problem is no one knows her recipe. This was the best applesauce cake we've made, but it wasn't great. Apparently it wasn't like grandma's. These are the only birthday pictures we took this year. Happy birthday, Ben! We love you!
Ben proposed to me with a song he wrote about making a beautiful life together. My life is more beautiful than I ever imagined it could be. This blog is a record of our beautiful children, Edison, Peter, and Creegan. Their growth, accomplishments, and personalities. "It's a beautiful life. We've made a beautiful life. We'll make a beautiful life."
