Flashback Sunday...not quite the same ring...

So I didn't get this posted on Friday, but it is a flashback just the same. This is dedicated to Ben. Since he graduated on Friday I thought it would be fun to publish his Daddy's poem that he wrote for his birth announcements. We had them printed on cards to give out. And of course a gratuitous picture or two (that are out of order, sorry!). :)

Father to Son

A brand new life has just begun,

A life of bliss and joy.

For on this day we have a son,

A beaming, baby boy.

A brand new life has come to be:

A most stupendous time.

And now the days ahead of me

Are bound to be sublime.

A brand new life is in my hands

And I just hope to be

A worthy and a fitting man

So he will respect me.

A brand new life I state again

And we shall call him Benjamin.

Getting ready for manhood, the remote and a bottle, with belly hanging out and everything. Can't wait to show his future bride that one...at least she will know what she is in for! ;)
