Here We Are

It is amazing to me how much life can change in such a short amount of time.  The last time I posted Brodie was just a baby.  Now he is this awesome little 3 year old kid who is so good at ripping around on his strider bike.   Aubrey is growing into this beautiful little girl, now enjoying her first summer vacation from school.  And Jairus....I've never even blogged about him because after Brodie I was on Facebook more often - updating with photos to FB was just easier for awhile! However as life changes and keeps moving forward I just am not on Facebook as much as I used to be, but I still want to update our close friends and family with what is happening in our lives.

There are so many people we wish we lived closer to, and maybe it's because we are getting older (or perhaps from watching the show "Parenthood") but we definitely want to stay in touch.  Anyone with little-loves knows that talking on the phone - and even FaceTime - is almost impossible with all the interruptions, so ..... here we are :) On benandchelsa.blogspot.com .... welcome back!  And truly, I love this blog, it holds SO many of our dear memories and we love looking back through it.... apparently you can have publishers make a book out of your blog for you! That would be amazing.

Summer Has Begun!

Today was SO hot we couldn't resist getting the sprinkler out....we love summer! 

Just a week and a half ago it wasn't so hot, but we had such a fun time out at a friend's farm from church.  The kids especially loved the baby chickens and calf. 

My Jy-guy the animal lover. 

So hard for me to believe that he is fast approaching a year and a half already! 

Papa & Nana came for a visit and we headed to the National Park for a hike. So beautiful! 

This past weekend I volunteered to photograph the Color Dash 5km fundraiser for the Christian School.  I've never been to one of these runs and it was awesome! Aubrey helped toss color on the runners....she had such a blast!

These two water boys....the best. 

Nana stayed with us an extra week and we are so glad she did! xoxoxoxo
