Double Digit Life!

Ben looked forward to this day for so long! On July 2, 2002, Ben officially began his "DDL" or "Double Digit Life." He has seen it looming in his future and oh, what joy, at last the day arrived! We did a spontaneous birthday dinner of hamburgers and hot dogs with family and friends that are like family. Ben requested a round, pink cake, but wouldn't let us write DDL on it. 10 works.

Afterwards, we even convinced our guests to join us at the Singing Flag. Anything for Ben, right?

Clearly my camera work was lacking on this day, but thanks to the Hiatts, Grandma Joan, and the Burrs for helping us to celebrate Ben's DDL!
