Sorry…Was I Rude
ByIt ocurred to me, that I started my blog the other day, but yet didn’t really tell you about me, Ben Shaffer. Not a subject for one post I think, but let me show you my proudest parts first and then we’ll work down from there…
Meshi and Ro'i Shaffer
Those are my darlings.
My daughter on the right is nearly two and a half. Her name is : Oriyah Meshi Tzvia (Trying saying that fast). No-one knows where she gets her curly hair from as mine was always dead straight as is evidenced from photos of younger days. Her hobbies are waking up at night and giving a running commentary of her life (Meshi sits on the chair. Meshi eats chicken etc.)
My Son on the left is Ro’i Moshe Elchanan (blame my wife. I didn’t pick the names). He is about 4 months old in that photo. He is the first Shaffer in 7 generations to have blue eyes. He enjoys cooing like a bird and generally looking surprised.
They totally worship each other which is really cute 
Ben and ro'i
This is me with my son. I actually had wanted a daughter as Meshi is so great, but now I have a son I have to tell you that there is just no feeling in the world like having one. There is a massive bond between us even at this age and he makes me happy just by him cooing at me. In this photo he is pretending to help me with my work.
The whole family
That’s my kids as well as my wife Gina. With every passing day, our life together gets greater. I just hope it’s the same for her Great story how we met involving a taxi-cab and a mighty hangover, but we’ll save that for another day.
Hey Ben,
Awesome, this is the first time I see your wife, who you talk about non stop
Great family!
My daughter is all grown up and married and I have one grandson.
Happy Holiday Season, however you celebrate!
You have such a beautiful family, your daughter is beautiful, your son is handsome and amazing. I wish you happy holidays in this joyous season.

Delightful. The names are a mouthful to look at, but I bet the most unexpected and neat nicknames will come from them. Your sweetheart looks so bright and strong at heart. Blessings to you all, and sweet happiness without fail. G Sido
Hi Ben
That was wonderful seeing your family.
I too was very fortunate in being able to spend a lot of my time when my 2 daughters when they were growing up.
The Internet lifestyle certainly gives you a lot of freedom.
Take care and have a wonderful time – They are only young once

hey Ben…what’s up?
you realy have a such good family…remember, do not let your business take you away from them
good bless you
Ben, thank you for sharing your family. All of us can now see you are building a lifetime of joyful memories. Know and savor each precious day, for they are all unique and will never come again.
Following online marketing “rules”, one might think your post revealing something about yourself is calculated to build “trust” to better sell “stuff”.
But I’ve always had trouble blindly accepting those marketing mantras without question.
I think what you do with a personal post like yours is something deeper, something very human and real that touches and connects all of us.
When we “bare ourselves”, what we are doing is revealing our true motivation. We want to succeed. We need to succeed for our families who are counting on us.
Your post is a clear example of this. As your customers, we can see you have plenty of motivation to take care of us. It’s in your interest to do so! You take care of us. We take care of you. You take care of your family.
Such a deal. I’m all for it. And we don’t need an ebook to figure it out.
It’s just the way Life works. Always has. Always will.
Thank you, Ben.
Happy Holidays to You and Your Wonderful Family
Can’t wait to hear about the story with the hangover and the cab

Thanks for sharing – JP
Thank you, Ben.
Happy Holidays to You and Your Wonderful Family
Sincerely,Teodor
Ben…you have a great family. I like your TODAY pictures better than the one you have on the top of the blog.
You look HAPPY in these photos. Thanks for sharing.
hugs
Great pics and nice to see “behind the curtain”
I also have an older daughter and younger son, and had the same experience as you did… my daughter was so awesome I wanted another.
But my son … well … you know, it’s a special thing.
Also nice to have them in that order as the older girls are a little more involved in helping the younger boys out, where I’m not sure the opposite would be so true.
Shalom
