Untle Ben

So thankful to have Ben here...or "Untle Ben" to Jack! He was greeted with giddy laughter from Calvin and Jack when he arrived Friday, and now 24 hours later, we are all exhausted...in the best kind of way!

Jack has been a chatterbox:  Untle Ben, do you like my balloon tiger? (Ben: yes) Thank you!
                                             Untle Ben, you take the door off your jeep?

Calvin has been acting like he's one of the guys, reporting to me with periodic updates as he watched Dan and Ben install the door this afternoon.

Luke has enjoyed the sweet attention, reaching out of my arms for Ben to hold him.

My favorite moment so far was when Ben and I were in QShack with the boys waiting for Dan to arrive from work.  Someone told us we had such a beautiful family. We both just looked at him and said "Thanks." What else do you say?

Maybe threatening to upstage Ben himself is his jeep! Today they got to watch him take the roof off and take a ride around town.

We've had a full day! Walked to the construction site...

...and went to Mapleview Farms for ice cream.

Plus some sweet time just being together!
