Happy 365 Days old little Ben

Who would have thought a very simple SMS would change our lives so incredibly much? It wasn't even a long one! It simply read "are you still thinking about adopting again?"

All it took was one simple sms back. Three little letters, Y.E.S and our lives haven't been the same. From the moment the angels delivered him, to realizing Ben and Emma had probably met before, this seemingly helpless little soul has made our family complete.

Little Flea, here's wishing you a very happy birthday


“If we didn’t have birthdays,
you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you be?
You might be a fish!
Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob!
Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of
hard green tomatoes."

“Or worse than all that…
Why, you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all.
No, he doesn’t.

A Wasn’t just isn’t. He just
isn’t present. But you…
You ARE YOU!
And, now isn’t that pleasant!"

“Today you are you!
That is truer than true!
There is no one alive
who is you-er than you!
Shout loud, “I am lucky to be
what I am! Thank goodness
I’m not just a clam or a ham
Or a dusty old jar of sour
gooseberry jam!
I am what I am!
That’s a great thing to be!
If I say so myself, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LITTLE FLEA!"
