ben gets the spotlight once again today and not just because this is obviously a fav photo. ben spent the night in the ER after sustaining a burn on four of his fingers from the muffler shield of a go-cart. if i’m not mistaken this marks his 3rd trip to what should be named “the memorial hospital, hochgesang family ER wing,” and the 7th for the family. i’m talking, ‘i flipped my bike and my head is gushing blood,’ visits. fevers and projectile vomit are for the weak.

after work, ben will be showered with ice cream and kisses until he gets a fever and projectile vomits. wait….
