This is my absolutely favorite picture of my eldest son.
Doing chores in Idaho on a sunny fall day.
He wore that football helmet a lot.
A lot.
He was the preemie who no one thought would live past two weeks, if he lived that long.
And now he’s 45.
45!!!!!!
How lucky we are to have had this boy–this man–in our lives!!!
Happy Birthday, Ben.
We all love you more than you could ever imagine.
is there any more pie? 
Absolutely, love this picture of Ben! Happy Birthday to a super awesome kid who is a diehard Nebraska fan! We are grateful that you were part of our tribe in Hope and glad you, Amber and John are returning to Hope in the summers. You are loved💖
Wonderful visit with Ben tonight. Marge
