I feel bad for not posting sooner, but as you know summer is so busy. We have been having a fantastic summer.  We've done a lot as a family and I have loved every minute.  The second week in July we went camping with my cousins.  I have a very large family and as cousins we are all still fairly close.  So 10 of us and our families managed to get together with our kids and spend a few days camping.  This is the 3rd year in a row we have done it and its becoming a favorite summer activity.   We also spent a couple days in Toronto.  We went to the zoo and spent the night in a hotel and then spent the second day at the science centre.  That was a blast.  All the kids loved every minute of the science centre.  So much to do for all of them.  We've also done a few day trips to some local attractions which is fun.    We still have one more week of camping planned.  Its amazing how fast time flies.  

Benjamin has been great.  Growing by leaps and bounds.   He hasn't seen many doctors lately.  We saw the asthma doctor in June and he thinks that Benjamin has "viral" asthma that is brought on by colds.  He figured he would outgrow it and we didn't need to see him again unless we have major issues over the winter.  He also saw his eye doctor, but nothing has changed with his eyes which is a good thing as well.  Now we're just waiting for the appointment for his last developmental follow-up clinic with the NICU.  I assume we'll be done with them in September as well.  We'll see.

We started the hunt for home daycare for Benjamin over the summer as well.  I have been working a lot more and I think socially it would be good for him as well.  It has been an interesting process, but we think we found a perfect place for him.  He starts the second week of September, just 2 mornings a week.  I am anxious about the adjustment, but he already seems excited just from meeting her and her kids once.

I think that covers it all.   Life is fantastic and I have trying to just soak up and enjoy every minute with all of my babes.  I feel so richly blessed.
