My Blue-Headed Baby

I'm so obsessed with my baby!

The other day at work, I got the best of surprises! AnnMarie texted me asking to meet halfway for a lunch in the park (because we always do that, and it's always amazing.)

So, yesterday, me and my best friend Rachel drove to Ellensburg. We were a little early, so I had to stop myself several times from looking for their car. Twenty minutes later, I see my blue headed baby bouncing through the parking lot towards me! We got our sandwiches, then drove to the park where we played, talked and took pictures for four hours. And it was perfect. Ben LOVES his dad, so he didn't really want to hangout with me. He did like my camera though, so he sat on my lap and played with all the buttons. Rachel even got to walk around and have one on one time with him. Ben makes everyone happy instantly and he has the biggest smile. They just lost their dog to cancer, so when Ben saw one in the park, he went and held the sweet puppies face just like he used to do with Andy.

You guys, adoption is so special. I wish Ben liked me more, but I'm hoping that will come with age. But his parents are unimaginably perfect. I know I chose them after I read about them and met with them, but I am SO lucky to have them, for Ben to have them. While we were at the park, we saw a perfect example at horrible parenting. The mom was yelling at her kids and being so aggressive. I almost wanted to protect her baby from her. But Ann & Derek? They are everything good. Especially Derek, he shares his cookies with me!

Also, he gets his helmet off at 18 months, which is only 5.5 weeks away!

And this is our sweet little family. I love them with all my heart.
