Ben’s actual birthday is today, but we gave him his birthday supper and presents last night because of having Miracle League baseball tonight. But of course, baseball is synonymous with Culver’s for the boys, so that will also serve as a birthday treat for tonight.
Yesterday Ben’s biggest thrill I think was he had a 3-cake day! We had a cake for my dad for Father’s Day, cake at a friend’s grad party, and then a bear birthday cake for Ben at night. Ben was in sugar heaven!
He also loved his gifts: camping storybook and a new 20-inch bike! His reaction was “Oh my gosh!”
This morning I was filled with gratitude and thanksgiving to the Lord for the blessing of Ben in our lives. He brings an energy and excitement to our family that I never knew we needed. Ben was a very unexpected gift to us. Never in my wildest thoughts and dreams, 10 years ago did I think I would be the mom of a little boy from an orphanage in Lithuania! God has watched over this boy and protected him when he did not have a family there for him. I truly believe God has big plans for him in the future, and I feel very privileged that the Lord has asked our family to be part of the ""Ben Adventure". I love you Benjamin Kostas! You are sweet and funny, confident and capable. I'm not sure how I figured out life without you...HAHA! You are always very willing and eager to give us your expert opinion :)
POINT OF INTEREST: at the end of June, the boys are going to the "I Can Shine Bike Camp" in Milwaukee. Hopefully after that week of camp, Ben will be riding his new bike without needing training wheels!
