My friend Andee and I were both pregnant at the same time back in 2007/2008 with our little boys who were born 6 weeks apart. Ian and Ben have pretty much grown up together. They even go to school together.

Here are they back in July 2009 having dinner together on the deck.

Here are they last night having dinner on the deck. Look how they have grown into such handsome boys.

I hope they stay buddies forever!

Labor Day 2006 was Owen’s first trip to New Jersey to visit Grammy & PeePaw Thomas. Grammy brought up a bunch of old toys from the basement including Aunt Susan’s McDonalds set up. Owen proudly dawned the uniform. Happy Meal anyone?

Fast forward to this past June and here he is again wearing the McDonalds uniform on a visit to Grammy & PeePaw’s. Look how much my handsome little man has grown!! Those 4 years sure have flown by!
