Thanks to everyone who prayed for Carolyn during her recent heart surgery and recovery. She is doing great! We hadn't been to visit in three weeks because the older boys were sick, and we didn't want to give it to her - especially while she was recovering. But we finally got to go yesterday!

We met our friends, Casey and Nora, for lunch last week. She had her camera and captured some funny pictures of the boys.








Henry doing his eye trick that makes me laugh every time! (Do you like his busted lip?)









Coming eventually: Pictures from our friend, Ida's, wedding shower; funny video of Benjamin and much more!

I chose to do the "want to see or want to see again"


Places I want to see:
1. The Grand Canyon
2. Ireland
3. Boston
4. Paris
5. Alaska

Places I want to see again:
1. San Diego, California
My brother and his family lived in San Diego for a couple of years, and I think it's the most beautiful place in the US!

2. Washington, DC
I love history so there's no better place to visit.

3. Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Rob and I went here on our honeymoon. We'd love to go back to the area. We especially liked Chatham, Massachusetts which is a town on Cape Cod. I'd like to see Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket next time.

4. Charleston, South Carolina
We went on our family vacation there in 2006, and we plan to make it a family vacation spot.

5. New York, New York
I went there in high school on a band field trip (yes, I was a band geek). We were only there 3 days....too much to see in that period of time.

Now I tag Casey, Laura, the ladies at Baby Talk, Elizabeth, and another friend named Laura

The two older boys have had a cold this past week. We've spent a lot of time in our PJs.

Benjamin is 8 weeks old today, and he's growing like a weed. He has moved into some 3-6 month clothes. He's smiling and cooing a lot, and he rolled over yesterday, but I think it was a fluke. I think I had his arm in just the right position for momentum. He loves to watch his big brothers. We are enjoying every minute with him!

Last night at dinner I mentioned something about my mom. Jonathan was quick to remind us that my mom was his grandma. Then he said, "Grandma died on the cross like Jesus."
