Babies, Booze, & Ben

I'm aware these topics don't really go together but they do in my life. Monday night I went over to visit my niece, Ava. She is growing so much and just becoming a beautiful girl. She is making more and more attempts to communicate with all her swaks and coos. I can't wear my glasses anymore when I see her because her dexterity is so good she just grabs them right off my face.



Later on in the evening Glen, Bri and I went down to the Rugby Club for Bens 30th Birthday. I had the best belini I've ever had! It was just the right mix of bacardi and champagne and mango sweetness. I tried not to drink it too fast. Lucky Glen was driving.



After dinner there was cake and sparklers. I just don't know where the time goes. Most of my memories of Ben are of him in highschool about half his age now. Driving up to Silver Star with my Dad and Brothers to go boarding. We had to wait like 10 mins for him to finish brushing his teeth. He is the longest tooth brusher I know (coming from a dental assistant here, hey by all means that is great!) Those were the days of Spin Doctors (princess), Barenaked Ladies (this is me in grade nine album), and Blind Melon (dumptruck). Let the good times roll!
