Oct. 21, 2008 - The Big 33
Years ago my sweet husband wrote this poem for me and I thought that I might post it today on his birthday. I found it the other day in my Bible and I remembered why I had put it there,,,to be reminded that I am blessed and should be thankful! Enjoy…
Life happens everyday and why would we want it any other way?
So much to do, so little time, printers break, children whine.
Who will save me from this mess that I’m in? I don’t even know where to begin.
What, Lord, is the meaning of it all? Babies are much cuter before they can crawl.
Kids are like night and day, you never know what they will say.
“You’re pretty as a moose”, “I’ve got a loose tooth”
“Can I have some more butter?”, “Is that thing an udder?”
How can one person ever endure, when the only time you can be sure
That the house is semi-safe in keeping, is when all of the children are sleeping!!
They argue and fight and they knock out the lights,
They tear up their toys, make all sorts of noise.
In moments so rare, they’re kind and they share
And you can’t help but implore, “Don’t you want more?”
When I found it, I couldn’t help but laugh. Thanks for the memories Ben! Happy Birthday! I love you.
This was his surprise breakfast. N made him that little breakfast table and everyone made him cards with smarties attached!
The girls were quite happy with themselves for tricking Daddy into thinking that he was coming home to kill a HUGE spider for us, only to find a surprise breakfast.
We have a birthday tradition of decorating the living and dining room with streamers for birthday breakfasts, and this was S's contribution. She wanted to make sure that even the floor was "pretty". The streamers are actually taped down. I'm sure I will be finding tape for at least a month!
What a good morning...

Indeed, it was truly a great birthday surprise. I feel very blessed with all the thoughtfulness flowing around the house today. Thank God for a wonderful wife who sets the tone of the whole day. It's overwhelming. Rebecca, I am truly blessed by you.
Love, Ben
