A Lot Can Happen


It's amazing all that has happened in the two weeks since I last posted. Benjamin got roseola the day after his swim party and had a fever of 104 degrees for 3 days. However, day one into that fever, our parents arrived for Isabella's blessing. Such is life. So we had a full house and a cranky todler. It all went well, though. Isabella's blessing was beautiful, as was her dress :). Benjamin's fever broke on Monday and the rash lasted until Tuesday evening. Then all was well again.





And of course, we couldn't let a little thing like roseola keep us from enjoying the time with family. We picked blueberries at Hazen Farms and we rented a paddle boat at Maple Beach in Kensington Park. It was a blast.




Finally, today is Kelly's and my anniversary! 7 years! A lot has happened in those 7 years too! A couple moves, a couple kids, a couple cars, and still going strong. :) I couldn't be happier. We actually celebrated last week already while my mom was here watching the kids. We did sealings in the temple and sealed my maternal grandfather to his parents. That was a very special experience and a great way to celebrate an anniversary.

Here are a few other pics. The first three are from a picnic Benjamin's nursery class had last week. I love the one of Benjamin and Isabella. Looks like she's finally getting revenge for all those kicks to the head. And the last one is from today. Nothing is funnier to Benjamin than putting odd things on his head, shaking them off, and watching them fall noisely onto the floor. Today's test subject: the blue plastic duck that lights up in the bathtub, at least until Benjamin got a hold of it.

Isabella's dress and blessing were beautiful! I'm glad Benjamin is feeling better now, it's tough having sick kids. Thanks again for watching Maya on Saturday!
