Smile Bennett is 7!
Hey Guys!
my little man turned 7 years old yesterday! Oh my goodness girls, I have to tell you that I am just STUNNED every year that he is getting so big. He is the tallest in his class, and just a big boy. I know I say this every year, but it gets more and more unbelivable that he is growing up so fast. It sounds so cliche, but nevertheless the truth.
For those of you with young ones, like my Sophia, cherish every moment you can, a year goes by before you know it!

Here are photos - one with daddy and Sophia, which are just the most recent. I have my camera being tuned up so I dont have anything to download!!!! I would love to post photos of him when he was a baby, but they are all the way downstairs...mamas tired!

Is everyone ready for the holidays?!

Good looking kiddos! Sophia has the same ornery grin as Lyndi.

What a handsome little boy! Happy Birthday Bennett! Oh the time does go so fast....I could just cry thinking about it. You want to let them grow up and marvel every day at all the new things they do, yet there's a part of me that wants to keep them young forever.

Happy Birthday, Bennett!

Amy, how tall is he??

Rico is now taller than Marielle and keeps growing by leaps and bounds. I'd love to compare notes. You know how they always told us, as we went through the process that most kids from Guatemala are smaller than their U.S. born counterparts, well we have 2 that don't fit that mold!

Rico goes for his 6 year checkup today, so then I'll officially find out how tall he is.
