Ryan is turning 2!

Good gracious where does time go?  Our baby boy is turning 2, which means we are in full swing toddler mode!  This little man is so full of life, he always has us on our toes, and is a smart little booger!  If he is not jumping from the sofa to the ottoman, than he is swinging from the rail on the stairs.  If you can’t find him, he is most likely driving his cars and airplanes on windowsills or daddy’s TV. Or possibly feeding Toby an extra snack and testing it out too. Ryan could be outside all day long looking at bugs, snails, lizards, and whatever else we might find. He loves to be my helper, and is by my side in the kitchen making goodies, or pulling the grapes from the stems. It is so fun to see what he loves most, and right now that has been dinosaurs, airplanes, and motorcycles.  Living on base and right next to the air field has only made his love for airplanes grow stronger; you will often hear Ryan say “See, see, airplane!  Mommy airplane, see! "  I cherish the most innocent moments of his toddler hood, it is such a joy to be at home with him and see him grow into this little man God has made him to be.  The sweetest moment I have witnessed yet, was one night we were praying, and I said Amen. He usually likes to chime in with a big AMENNNN! But this night he kept his hands together and said “Daddy home, Amen”.  He loves his Daddy, and usually runs and cheers when Daddy comes home. The time away makes the home comings that much more special.  Jamie and I are so blessed to have him in our lives, God truly knows how to bless us with someone so loving, so courageous, so challenging, and so stinking ornery!  He brings out the best in us and challenges us in ways I never thought possible from a TWO year old!






          
The boots were often seen during the summer, and sometimes a winter hat! Yes, he already tells me no and likes to pick out his own clothes and shoes!

Moxie Photo/ Benson Family Update

Moxie Photo is currently taking sessions after a long break! I am going on 28 weeks pregnant with a little girl, and am currently potty training our soon to be 2 year old boy! Life is busy, but we are settled into our new Army lifestyle. We are on the fly from the seat of our pants routine, which involves many opportunities for Jamie in his career. Keep us in your prayers, as the next several months may have lots of changes for Jamie as well!  I am now a full time stay at home mom, and will do photography part time. I am no longer working for other photographer's which is both sad and exciting at the same time! If you need a wedding photographer I can give you the best in the RDU area! As well as DJ's and Cake Designers!  Keep posted for Mini sessions to come soon.

       Thought I'd share a few pictures from our fall beach trip we just got back from, so refreshing!
