Happy Birthday Ben

Lest anyone think we forgot Ben's birthday today ... we did not.
Unfortunately for him (and the rest of us), we managed to have a child at the peak of harvest season and that has been a problem for him ever since. It has been a long month of chopping and frustrations with equipment breakdowns, and probably two more weeks to go ... I propose we move Ben's birthday to either Feb. 2 or March 2 for future celebrations. Then maybe it won't get lost in the October business busy-ness. In the mean time, hang in there Ben, this chopping season too will pass. After you have caught up on your sleep we'll eat cake.
Love, Mom
