Christmas 2007

During the Christmas Season, we were lucky enough to attend the "Make A Wish" Christmas party that is held annually. It was so much fun and very magical. Ben even got to see Santa and spend quality time with him too. He won this hat that he is wearing as well. The kids had a blast and can't wait to return again next year. Thanks Make A Wish!!!

(LOVE this picture)
Mom and Ben enjoying the party!

Utah Trip Summer 2007

July of 2007 our whole family flew out to Utah to visit Steve's parent's, sister and my brother Ben and his family. We spent a total of 12 days there and loved every minute of it. Here is a picture of Ben as we were leaving NH.

5th Birthday

Another year, another milestone. We are thrilled to have celebrated another birthday with Benjamin. Most importantly we were able to celebrate it with him at home. He did have a short hospital stay just before his birthday but he recovered in time to be home. Ben had a lot of excitement surrounding his big day...he got a ride in the DHART helicopter, received his honorary brown belt in karate, visited Stevie's classroom at school where they sang many birthday songs to him, saw lots of snow and had a party with some of his doctors, nurses and secretaries at Dartmouth. It was quite the celebration.

Happy Birthday Big Boy!
A Birthday ride in the helicopter!
PICU nurses and doctors. They LOVE you!
Mom made you your own cake.:)

Can you believe that it actually snowed on your birthday? Crazy!
