June 27

Yesterday was a fun and busy day. It was the last day of VBS, Trystan had a friend stay the night and go with us and we kept Benjamin while his Mommy went to work and he went to VBS with us also. Later we went to Nana's to go swimming with the Callihan's and the Rodger's. I could not update my blog last night because we had some pretty bad storms go through here and we were without power for about 5 hours. It was the first time since we have lived here that we have lost power. We have underground utilities so something pretty serious must have been taken out. We also have several huge tree limbs off of the big tree in our front yard down. We had candlelight last night for a while. When the power went out, I opened both kids doors so I could hear them and because their night lights wouldn't be working. Ethan woke up and cried because he wanted his door shut. When I asked him why he didn't want it open, he said that he didn't want to let the flies in. Children and their imaginations. The above picture is of Ethan going off the diving board. He is so brave in the water now.
Here is Ethan with his towel wrapped around him like Daddy did.

Today we just hung out around the house. Mommy got some cleaning done and Daddy worked in the basement. We have someone coming on Monday to finish the drywall so Daddy has to have it all hung by then. It will be nice to have someone else working in the basement so that Daddy can spend some time with us.
