Ben Has a New Friend!

I know what you're saying...  who's that kid in that picture??!!  That's doesn't look like Ben!!  Well, our friends Kim & Jamie in Delaware had a baby boy a couple weeks ago - William James Tobin!  This is great news for them as well as for Ben since this means that Ben has a new friend right around his age!  The two boys are only four months apart in age, which will be great as they get older.  They will always have someone to play with while the four of us adults do our thing.  Its just too bad that they live all the way in Delaware!

Here he is!  William James Tobin

Will's Dad, Jamie, has been enjoying Ben's Blog so much, that he's started his own blog for Will.

For those of you who don't know the story about how Jill & I met our friends Jamie & Kim, here's the quick version.   Jill & I met Jamie & Kim on our honeymoon cruise.  We all booked the same tour at one of the cruise stops in St. Martin for a day trip to a local beach.  We met them on the bus on the way to the beach and as soon as we found out they had just gotten married on the same day as us, we were instant friends.   We preceded out of the bus on to this beautiful beach when it started raining... pouring.  It didn't stop us from having fun, or from Jamie & I getting drunk.  Toasted even...  We eventually made it back to the ship later that day and we met up again later that same night.  That was the second day of our cruise.  I think we pretty much met up every day after that as well!  We've been friends ever since.  We each take turns visiting each other periodically for weekend trips.   Now, we can't wait to take the boys on their first cruise!

Here we all are on our honeymoon..

And here's Jamie holding Ben a month or so ago when we last visited them for Kim's shower. 

 Afterall, I can't post a blog entry without at least ONE picture of Ben.   OK, well, here's another one.

Here's Ben waving hello to his new friend Will!
