Goodbye age seven.........................................
Eight years ago today, about a month before his due date, Benjamin Daniel Flowers entered the world. When I began hard labor, the Dr. discovered that he was breech and after a few unsuccessful attempts to turn him in the womb, an emergency c-section was performed. Ben made Valentines day by a half hour since he was born at 11:30 p.m. I had a difficult pregnancy with him as I began to have pre-labor symptoms at only 28 weeks along. I was put on strict bedrest that lasted for 9 weeks! Believe me, when I say that I was more than ready to get him here after laying around for so long! We were so happy to welcome a sweet baby boy into our home and hearts!
Since his birthday fell on a Sunday, we had a family party for him Fri. and he had a friend party yesterday. We let our kids have a friend party every other year and this is the year.......three more to go! Abby has already told me she wants her party theme to be princess/Barbie ;o) May will not get here quick enough for her!LOL!!
Benjamin~
On your 8th birthday, Daddy and Mommy want you to know how much we love you and how proud we are of the sweet, polite little boy that you are becoming! It was very thoughtful of you to choose foods that everyone liked for your birthday dinner today instead of just the ones you wanted. And you are doing very well with letting your sisters, "the ladies" go first!
God has given you an amazing talent for drawing and cartooning and a good sense of humor to go along with it! (Even though, it gets you into trouble at times!) We look forward to see how God is going to direct and work in your life as you obey and be the little boy that he wants you to be! We love you!
Love,
Daddy & Mommy
