It's not often that a blog moves me, but this one has. I am going to link it here. If you are at work, wait to read this when you are at home, trust me. It's a beautiful story with a happy ending, but get the tissues.
Enjoying The Small Things
Mike was sitting in the dark, rocking Link to sleep when I handed him my iPhone with the blog post loaded on it, telling him, 'you'll want to read this....'. As I post this I can hear him still sitting in the dark, rocking Link, reading the post and sniffling back tears. Just one of the million reasons why I love him.
Not Bennett, not Bennigan, and no, not Benedit. -Benedict - It's not that hard, really.

Random but Recent Pictures
Hanging out on a Saturday morning.
Running around the yard before bed, getting the last of the wiggles out.

Mother's Day
Last year for Mother's Day I wanted to get a 'mother's necklace' (cheesy term) but since we were planning to have a second child, we thought it was best to wait.
This year I am getting one for sure. The one I love the most is from Jeanine Payer. I have one other piece of jewelry of hers and my New York bestie, Vickie has a few pieces too. I love her stuff - it's so simple and beautiful.
Here is her site: Jeanine Payer
And the design I chose (Verdi 2):
There are several beautiful photo pieces on her site, but this one is so pretty. I like both available poetry options, so I asked Mike to choose.
For the boys' pictures I think I will go with this one of Hudson since it captures that smile and he's still pretty young in it.

Or maybe this one because he's a little younger. I have so, so many pictures of H, it's hard to choose.
Maybe I should use one that shows his typical antics?

Playdate Chez Benedict
We hosted a very fun playdate two weekends ago. All total, we had 13 little ones ranging from 2 weeks to 3 years, plus 14 adults. Judging from the exhausted kids at the end of the day, everyone had a good time.

Easter Weekend
The boys received a gift this weekend - a really great play structure.
Here it is, being assembled.
While that was going on, Mike and H played in the creek.
Then H opened a package sent from his Granny.
Then it was play time!
Lincoln tried his best to participate.
