Benjamin's Birthday and Easter 2008

Benjamin turned four years old on March 23rd, and also celebrated Easter that day with egg-dying and egg-hunting at Lucia and Jack's house. They have been very kind and helpful in watching after Benjamin while we worked on Eliza's birth and care. Benjamin received wonderful presents from Grandma and Zeyde in Spokane, and Aunt Rachel in Chicago. We took him to a Wiggles concert as it passed through San Jose, and lastly we gave him a big-boy bicycle that he wants to ride everywhere!
