Happy Birthday Benjamin Marius

Another day, another birthday in the VanderHoeven household. After Joshua, we had a pretty long break in our family without another baby. 7 years and 1 day after Josh was born, we were so blessed to have Benjamin Marius join our family. We were so happy to have another new boy join us. On my side of the family he was 8th grandchild born, and number 30 on Jeff's side of the family. He was such a light in our family after a really hard previous year.

So today we celebrate Ben's 3rd birthday. In a short 3 years he has grown into such a fun little toddler. He has so much fun with his brothers and sister even though he is a pretty stereotypical pesky little brother a lot of the time. There is never a dull moment in our lives with him and we wouldn't want it any other way.

Happy Birthday Ben!

It's crazy to see how much even the big kids have changed since he was born.
